You probably have heard of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But how much do you really know about?

The ancient world was home to some of the greatest civilizations in history. The Egyptians, the Greeks, the Babylonians, and others wanted to leave their mark on history so others would remember their greatness. And what better way to explore that greatness than to examine some of the greatest wonders the world has ever known?

Most people can list a few of the wonders of the top of their head. But few know that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon might never have existed or that the remains of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus were used by the Knights Hospitaller.

This book uncovers the history behind the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in easy-to-read language. Your eyes will be open to a new side of history after reading this introductory guide!

In this book, you will learn the answers to the following questions:
  • How many of the wonders are still around today?
  • Were all of these wonders actually real, or are they more mythical in nature?
  • Why were these wonders built in the first place?
  • What happened to them? Did they fall apart over time, or did something catastrophic happen?
  • How big do historians think these wonders were?
  • And so much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed and Informative
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023

The author identifies each of the Seven Wonders of the World and devotes a chapter to each wonder. The author also provides a brief biography of the people who identified them. The only Seven Wonder still in existence are the pyramids of Giza. The Light House of Alexandria remained until destroyed by an earthquake in the 14th century. The other wonders did not survive much beyond the Era of Christianity. Scholars question if the Hanging Gardens of Babylon existed. This book discusses each wonder’s location, approximate time of construction, probable description and the date of destruction.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little hard to follow the names towards the end

In the last but of the book I had A little trouble following the people b/c of their names but that is more to do with history than how it is written. Good read otherwise.

3.0 out of 5 stars .... a touch disappointed.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2023
Was looking forward to reading this one, but: was a touch disappointed.
It takes an entire chapter to impart that the Hanging Gardens probably did not exist.
No one seems to know just how the pyramids were built.
There is an inordinate amount of: waffle, padding, back stories and folk tales which tend to cause the readers' interest to decline …etc …

A good guide to the ancient wonders, this book covers the seven ancient wonders and gives you a overview over who built them and why, where were they located, what remains today, and what evidence do we have for their actual existence.

Learn about this as well as what we think today their impact could have been. Well worth a read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Information on the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World; Overall Score = 4.5 Stars
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
This is an interesting review of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Most people don't know the inside story of these architectural wonders. This book has a chapter on each wonder and goes into detail about who and why each was constructed, where it was located, and what happened to each (if known). The author talks about the impact of each wonder. I was amazed that so many were decimated by earthquakes. I wasn't aware that earthquakes were so prevalent.

In the conclusion, the author mentioned that the wonders were mostly Hellenistic in origin. They might have included the Great Wall of China and the Roman Coliseum if they hadn't been directed thusly. This was interesting reading and well-worth my time. Overall Score = 4.5 stars.

In my childhood, I read a,fair amount about the 7 wonders of the world and could even recall them: the Pyramids of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus, The Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. This book expands on these structures, traces their history from creation to demise. Overall, a book worth reading once.
