I was just looking over my books and I came across one about the pyramids. It made wonder, what are the seven wonders of the world? If someone could help with that it'd be great!
I was also wondering if anyone could give me a logical explanation of them. (if they have a decent hypothesis)

What about the great 8th wonder? The Pink and White Terraces In Lake Rotomahana New Zealand
In the early hours of June 10th 1886, Mount Tarawera violently erupted, belching out hot mud, red hot boulders and immense clouds of black ash. Several hours later, the bed of Lake Rotomahana blew out, burying the Maori villages of Moura and Te Ariki under a deep layer of liquid mud, stones and ash. Mount Tarawera erupting on 10th June 1886.

I love the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. ^_^ I did an essay on it for school once...
Darn, I thought the, "Giants Causeway" in the north of Ireland was the 7th wonder of the world. I guess it must of went down in the rankings. LOL, and its crazy because I just took a visitor from London there last week and told him it was one of the wonders of the world!
I thought the Rock of Gibralter was as well. I even had a pic taken of me next to a sign that I thought said one of the wonders of the world. Guess thats what I get for thinking, huh? lol
*reads all of the links* very interesting, I always wanted to know more about this topic also :) thank you!
