#84Bing Search of the Day: 7 Wonders

Bing Search of the Day: 7 Wonders of the World


I'm a huge fan of Assassin's Creed: Origins which takes place in Ancient Egypt. If you're not familiar with the the game, it's quite realistic and many of the Ubisoft AC titles have been compared to interactive history lessons, give or take some fantasy, of course. 

Thanks in part to that and the Pyramid Code documentary currently airing on Netflix, I've recently taken fascination with the pyramids of Egypt.

One of my favorite subjects in grade school was World History, Ancient Egypt in particular.

That led me to "wonder", what else is there to see?

It turns out, besides the Great Pyramid of Giza, none of the original Wonders even exist anymore! (The Ancient Greeks made the original list.)

In the meantime, here's what I found on the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World on Bing.

What are the seven wonders of the world?

The original seven wonders of the world are seven sites known to the Ancient Greeks as the most notable locales in their known world. They are:

Colossus of Rhodes

Great Pyramid of Giza
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Lighthouse of Alexandria
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
