This is the Great Pyramid of Giza. It is one of the three great pyramids built around 2500 B.C. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are another ancient wonder. They are located on the banks of the River Euphrates. This area is near Baghdad in Iraq. A King built this garden for his wife.
The Statue of Zeus was built in Olympia, Greece in 457 B.C. This statue was built to honour the Greek God Zeus. The statue was as tall as a four-storey building! In addition to Zeus, the Greeks built another very big statue, to honour the Greek Sun God, Helios. This wonder is known as the Colossus of Rhodes, built around 550 B.C. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was considered the most beautiful structure on earth. Ephesus was an ancient city that was located in what is now Turkey.
