PERIOD 86: UNIT 14: (CONT’D) READ - P.134
Centuries ago in Ancient Greece, a man by the name of Antipater of Sidon
compiledv a list of what he thought were the seven wonders of the world.
The seven inclued the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in present-day Iraq,
the Statue of Zeus in Greece, and the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. The
pyramid is the only wonder you can still see today.

Many people claim that there were other wonders, which the ancient
Greeks knew nothing about. These include the Great Wall of China, the
Taj Mahal in India and Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Angkor Wat should really be known as a wonder because it is the largest
temple in the world. The temple was built around the year 1100 to honor
a Hindu God, but over the next three centuries it became a Buddhist
religious center. The area surrounding the temple, Angkor Thom, used to
be the royal capital city.

In the early 15th century, the Khmer rulers moved to Phnom Penh and
Angkor was quiet. It now is a famous tourist attraction.
