Okay...ya gotta name your "era" for these seven wonders of the world...because for instance the Pyramids are from the ancient world, and Big Ben is from the Modern world.



So go to this site it has the Complete Listing of World Wonders based on the era they were built in.

7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD

The ancient Greeks loved to compile lists of the marvellous structures in their world. Though we think of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as a single list today, there were actually a number of lists compiled by different Greek writers. Antipater of Sidon, and Philon of Byzantium, drew up two of the most well-known lists. Many of the lists agreed on six of the seven items.



The final place on some lists was awarded to the Walls of the City of Babylon. On others, the Palace of Cyrus, king of Persia took the seventh position. Finally, toward the 6th century A.D., the final item became the Lighthouse at Alexandria. Since the it was Greeks who made the lists it is not unusual that many of the items on them were examples of Greek culture.



The writers might have listed the Great Wall of China if then had known about it, or Stonehenge if they'd seen it, but these places were beyond the limits of their world. It is a surprise to most people to learn that not all the Seven Wonders existed at the same time. Even if you lived in ancient times you would have still needed a time machine to see all seven.



While the Great Pyramids of Egypt was built centuries before the rest and is still around today (it is the only "wonder" still intact) most of the others only survived a few hundred years or less. The Colossus of Rhodes stood only a little more than half a century before an earthquake toppled it.

If you are referring to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, a list which was compiled during the Middle Ages, they are:



1. The Great Pyramid of Giza, near the ancient city of Memphis in Egypt.



2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which were located near the present-day city of Baghdad.



3. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia, in Greece.



4. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, in Asia Minor, near the present-day city of Selkuk in Turkey.



5. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which is now the city of Bodrum in Turkey, on the Aegean Sea. This is the tomb of the ancient King Maussollos of Persia.



6. The Colossus of Rhodes, depicting the sun-god Helios, located at the entrance to the harbor on the Island of Rhodes. This statue served as the inspiration for the creator of the Statue of Liberty.



7. The Lighthouse of Alexandria, built by the Ptolemies on the island of Pharos off the coast of their capitol city.
