Whether you’re seeing them in person or from the comfort of
your computer, these seven amazing structures will capture your imagination,
cause you to stop in your tracks, and leave you saying wow over and over again.
They are wonders of the world that have withstood the test of time and will
continue to amaze future generations as well.
7 Wonders of the World |
The Great Pyramid of Giza
The pyramids in Egypt are a wonder unto themselves. They
stand tall, proud, and sturdy with age to provide you with strange and odd
things to marvel at. From their layout to their subtle beauty they'll take your
breath away. The Egyptian pyramids were tombs for pharaohs in ancient times,
but now they're one of the Seven Wonders of the World that people flock to see.
We don't know how they were built or even how old they are!
The Colosseum
Built during Roman times, the Colosseum was a man-made arena
for combat. The best way to experience this relic is to look down from the
second tier and view one of its most famous features – the hypogeum (located
underground), a complex network of tunnels that stored animals and slaves prior
to entering the arena. Beyond its historical significance, this wonder is just
plain weird and very impressive in size – it can hold 50,000 people and has no
roof, walls or seats! To get a sense of how these ancient combat arenas worked
you will want to visit them at one point or another in your life. Even though
they are only ruins today they are still captivating.
The Mona Lisa
In 1503, da Vinci sketched his idea for a painting in
charcoal. The original title of the painting was La Gioconda or La Joconde,
which translates to The Happy Woman. Mona Lisa became her popular nickname when
American tourists would call Leonardo da Vinci's painting by that name and a
rumor spread across Europe. One person said she was called Mona Lisa because
she had been Leonardo da Vinci's mother and was believed to be ugly. Another
stated that she was Leonardo da Vinci's lover and he did not want anyone else
to enjoy his beauty so he hid her identity in one corner where nobody could see
it.
The Great Wall of China
I'm sure I am not alone when I say that one day, I will
travel to China. Not because of the company or anything like that, but it's
just a fascinating country. While there are many wonderful things to see, The
Great Wall is one of those things you HAVE to visit. It's so huge! One wrong
turn and you would be lost for hours. Strangely enough, walking on The Great
Wall felt peaceful. It was refreshing to get away from some of my worries for a
little while (unless you count mosquitos). You are so high up and yet
surrounded by amazing views...though that may have been from vertigo-induced
nausea haha. Odd things? Well, being sprayed with water by your tour guide
seems like an odd thing.
Machu Picchu
Perched on a craggy mountaintop in Peru, Machu Picchu is one
of the most enchanting places you'll ever see. It's situated on an ancient
royal estate and was used as a military outpost until it was abandoned in 1493,
never to be inhabited again. The Inca were experts at adapting themselves to
their environment by cleverly farming and cutting down trees for building
materials - their lives were intricately entwined with that natural world.
Every time I've visited, I've been struck by just how strange this place feels
in relation to modern life: at times it seems like we are viewing someone
else's memories - memories captured here 700 years ago in watercolors and stone.
Niagara Falls
If you're an avid traveler, it's likely that you've already
seen more than one breathtaking natural wonder. Niagara Falls is only one among
seven man-made wonders in the world and there are plenty of natural ones that
will take your breath away! With so many awesome places to visit in our own
world, don't get your hopes up for going anywhere out there anytime soon. You
might want to start at one of these.
The Taj Mahal
If you're a regular traveler and have ever spent time in
Asia, you might've noticed something about the buildings there. In particular,
those of Hindu and Buddhist religious significance are often in ruins by
design. This is because Hindus believe that temples exist for just 100 years.
At the end of their time on earth, they must be destroyed so that a new temple
can take its place. As to how one century becomes 100? Well, there's a system
in place to calculate just that using phases of the moon. According to Hindu
legend, a temple will last for 1,000 years if it has 360 rooms and 12
pillars—one pillar for each zodiac sign.
