Centuries ago in Ancient Greece , a man by the name of Antipate of Sidon compiled a list of what he thought were the seven wonders of the world.
The seven included 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 Angko at in Cambodia . Angko Wat should really be known as a wonder because it is the largest temple in the world . The temple was built arround the year 1100 to honor a Hindu God , but over the next three ceturies 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.
