Man is a curious species. When we talk about our conquests, most times we talk about wars. However, man can also create magnificent monuments, wonders.
Of all these wonderful monuments of antiquity, seven of them, the best known, were named the "seven wonders of the world." The origin of this list refers to the poet Sidon, he wrote that list 150 years BC. However, six of the seven wonders have vanished leaving only the descriptions, sometimes exaggerated or invented.
Today, that list was replaced by a new list, the more current "new seven wonders of the world." The election of this list was completed in 2007.
