The Seven WondersSelected by the Ancient

GreeksWhen the ancient Greeks decided to select seven wonders from the many impressive structures that had been constructed throughout history, there was a lot of argument about which structures to select.

Over the years, many different lists were created. Finally, a list was presented that most Greeks agreed included the seven most wondrous wonders, each a unique achievement.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is about 4,500 years old, and is the only ancient wonder still standing.

The Great pyramid was made by hand! It is nearly 800 feet long, 450 feet high. It was built with over two million of blocks of stone.

The average weight of each stone is about 2,500 pounds - around the same weight as a car!
