WHO DECIDED ON WHAT THE ANCIENT WONDERS ARE? Around 400 BC (about 2400 years ago), the Ancient Greeks began to travel. As they did, they wrote about all of the amazing things that they saw. About 100 BC (2100 years ago) the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus (in the picture) had made a list of the 7 most wonderful monuments they had seen. This is the frst list of The Ancient Wonders of the World. There are only 7 ancient wonders on the list because the Ancient Greeks thought number seven was special and magical.

The statue was created in Olympia, Greece by the Ancient Greek sculptor Phidias in 435 B.C. It was made from ivory and gold with many jewels and was over 12 meters tall.

The HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were located the country we know as Iraq near Al Hillah. They were build around 600 B.C by Nebuchadnezzar II, a Babalonian king.
