Temple of Artemis "I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the Statue of Zeus, and the Hanging Gardens, and the Colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the High Pyramids, and the vast Tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, "Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand"

Statue of Zeus. The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a giant seated figure, about 13 m (43 ft) tall, made by the Greek sculptor Phidias around 435 BC at the sanctuary of Olympia, Greece, and erected in the Temple of Zeus there. According to the Roman historian Livy, the Roman general Paulus saw the statue and "was moved to his soul, as if he had seen the god in person," while the Greek orator Chrysostum declared that a single glimpse of the statue would make a man forget all his earthly troubles.

Great Pyramid of Giza. The oldest and only Ancient Wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World to still remain intact. Built as a tomb over a ten-year period around 2560 BC, the pyramid was the tallest structure in the world for more than 3,800 years. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface that would have reflected the light; what is seen today is the underlying core structure.
