Interesting Facts About The 7 Wonders Of The Modern World.

Contrary to popular belief, the Seven Wonders of the World have actually changed over time. The original group was called the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

This is because six of the seven original wonders have sadly been destroyed over time, mainly from natural causes. The only one still standing is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which remains an honorary wonder.

The new list of the current Seven Wonders was finalized by a voting process that ended back in 2007.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at the Seven Wonders of the World!

This one is a no-brainer – The Great Wall of China is the longest man-made structure ever built, and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, if ever!

At about 13,200 miles (21,200 km) long, this impressive wall took over 200 years to build.

It was mainly erected to protect China from attacks from northern tribes, such as the Mongolians. Most of the original wall doesn’t exist because it is constantly being restored and rebuilt due to its age.

Between natural erosion and tourism, it is in a state of rapid decline. Because of its huge size, it’s nearly impossible to maintain the entire wall.
