Seven Wonders
The Seven Wonders of the World (or the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) is a widely-known list of seven remarkable constructions of classical antiquity. The earliest known version of the list was compiled in the 2nd century BC by Antipater of Sidon; it appears to be based on the guide-books popular among Hellenic sight-seers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim.
As stated, this is an ancient list, and doesn’t cover a wide geographic area. There are other, broader lists, but this one is fun for what it is, and you can spend a few minutes with it. I’ll share more such lists as I find them.
