How to know the history of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?
To know the history of the Seven Wonders of the World or how it was created you can visit it’s own site or even any site that focuses the history of seven wonders of the world.

Beforehand Seven Wonders of the World was originally called as seven wonders of the ancient world.

 The amazing works of art and architecture known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World serve as a testament to the ingenuity, imagination and sheer hard work of which human beings are capable. They are also, however, reminders of the human capacity for disagreement, destruction and, possibly, embellishment. As soon as ancient writers compiled a list of "seven wonders," it became fodder for debate over which achievements deserved inclusion. Ultimately, human hands joined with natural forces to destroy all but one of the wonders. Furthermore, it is possible that at least one of the wonders might not have existed at all. Still, all seven continue to inspire and be celebrated as the remarkable products of the creativity and skill of Earth’s early civilizations. A Seven Wonders of the Ancient World consist of:

 Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt

 Hanging Gardens of Babylon

 Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

 Statue of Zeus at Olympia

 Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

 Lighthouse of Alexandria

 Colossus of Rhodes

INFORMATION REPORT

Mausoleum Of Halicarnassus

Mausoleum, large sepulchral monument containing a chamber in which funeral urns or coffins are deposited. The name is derived from the tomb erected at Halicarnassus to King Mausolus of Caria flourished about 376-353 BC by his widow, Artemisia. It was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
By 377 B.C the city of Halicarnassus was the capitol of a small kingdom along the Mediterranean coast of Asia Minor. It was in that year the ruler of this land, Hecatomnus of Mylasa, died and left control of the kingdom to his son Mausolus. Hecatomnus, a local satrap to the Persians, had been ambitious and ha d taken control of several of the neighbouring cities and districts. Mausolus in his time, extended the territory even further so that it finally included most of southwestern Asia Minor.
Mausolus with his queen Artemisia they ruled over Halicarnassus and the surrounding territory for 24 years. Mausolus, he was descended from the local people, spoke Greek and admired the Greek way of life and government. He founded many cities of Greek design along the coast and encouraged Greek democratic traditions.
Then in 353 B.C. Mausolus died, leaving his queen Artemisia, who was also his sister broken-hearted. As a tribute to him, she decided to build him the most splendid tomb in the known world. It became a structure so famous that Mausolus's name is now associated with all stately tombs through our modern word mausoleum. The building was also so beautiful and unique it became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Today these works of art stand in the Mausoleum Room at the British Museum. There the images of Mausolus and his queen forever watch over the few broken remains of the beautiful tomb she built for him.







EXPOSITION
Thesis Statement: Hanging Gardens of Babylon really exist.
Some historians make the case that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon actually existed. Twentieth century archaeologists began collecting evidence about unsolved questions concerning the Hanging Gardens: What was their location? What kind of irrigation system did it have? What did the Hanging Gardens actually look like? These questions are actually the stand that can prove that Hanging Gardens of Babylon really existed.
Recent archaeological digs at Babylon have unearthed a major palace, a vaulted building with thick walls (perhaps the one mentioned by Greek historians), and an irrigation well in proximity to the palace. Although an archaeological team surveyed the palace site and presented a reconstruction of the vaulted building as being the actual Hanging Gardens, accounts by Strabo place the Hanging Gardens at another location, nearer the Euphrates River. Other archaeologists insist that since the vaulted building is thousands of feet from the Euphrates, it is too distant to support the original claims even if Strabo happened to be wrong about the location. The latter team reconstructed the site of the palace, placing the Hanging Gardens in a zone running from the river to the palace. Interestingly, on the banks of the Euphrates, a newly discovered, immense, 82-foot thick wall may have been stepped to form terraces like those mentioned by the ancient Greek sources.
The Greek historian Diodorus Siculus gave one of the best accounts of the site:
The approach to the Garden sloped like a hillside and the several parts of the structure rose from one another tier on tier. On all this, the earth had been piled…and was thickly planted with trees of every kind that, by their great size and other charm, gave pleasure to the beholder. The water machines [raised] the water in great abundance from the river, although no one outside could see it.
Other ancient historians gave additional details:
The Garden is quadrangular, and each side is four plethra [one hundred Greek feet] long. It consists of arched vaults which are located on checkered cube-like foundations. The ascent of the uppermost terrace-roofs is made by a stairway (Strabo).
The Hanging Garden has plants cultivated above ground level, and the roots of the trees are embedded in an upper terrace rather than in the earth. The whole mass is supported on stone columns. Streams of water emerging from elevated sources flow down sloping channels. These waters irrigate the whole garden saturating the roots of plants and keeping the whole area moist. Hence the grass is permanently green and the leaves of trees grow firmly attached to supple branches. This is a work of art of royal luxury and its most striking feature is that the labor of cultivation is suspended above the heads of the spectators (Philo of Byzantium).
Locations site, description and characteristics state by the ancient historians and even our archeologists prove that Hanging Gardens of Babylon really exist and a best qualification for the Ancient Wonders of the world.

EXPLANATION
Hanging Garden of Babylon as one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Semiramis, near present-day Al Hillah, Babil in Iraq, are considered to be one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. They were built by the Chaldean king Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his sick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland Persia. The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.

INFORMATION REPORT
PYRAMID OF GIZA

The pyramid of Giza is a kings tomb that is originated in Egypt in honor for the kings. It is a triangular shaped building and considered as one of the world’s famous toursite.
Pyramid of Giza is found in Egypt. Out of the Three pyramids of egypt the Pyramid of Giza is the Oldest and Biggest. It is considered as the Tallest man made structure in the world for years. It is covered by Glacing stones. Some says that it was created by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.. For me i think i take a thousand of years to finish that, According to the travelers, it has many chambers.
The Queen Chamber, the King chamber and the unfinished chamber. SOme says that the unfished chambers is unfinished because king khufu have died already. That's why the slaves have stopped working in building these chambers. if you want to go to chamber, tourist says that Eqyptian guards are guarding these chambers.
They say that at the bottom of the chamber lies the coffin of the Pharaoh Khufu and above his chamber lies his wife. Some says that visitors are not allowed to go to these chambers, that's why i dont know if khufu's coffin is really there. Based on the Egypt's history. King Khufu is one of the cruel and ruthless pharaoh in the history. The proof is the pyramid, because slaves are the one who maybe created it.
According to the Construction Theory Slave labour was used but modern Egyptologists accept that it was built by many tens of thousands of skilled workers. They camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of paying taxes until the construction was completed. One of the mysteries is that how did they plan the construction. Because architecture is not being discovered yet at that time.


EXPLANATION
Earning the title as one of the seven wonders of the world.
Being include is the seven wonders is awesome becuase first of all it will become a tourist spot second is your country's pride will raise because of this title and third other countries will be amazed in your country. But earning this title is somehow easy, the only thing you need to do is to vote for the candidate the top 7 highest votes will get the title. That all. Its that fair,? what do you think?. No matter what happens that is the rule. if you want to get the title VOTE.


EXPOSITION
Thesis Statement: "I believe that voting by the use of internet must not be used in the selection of the seven wonders fof the world"
The seven wonders of the world are the best places that we can found in existence to this world. Choosing or selecting places are a complicated thing to do. The one who selects the wonders are us the observers. But still i believe that it is not right. It is true that we observers has a right to choose but it is not right that giving the title is only based to our opinion, only us who knows how to vote and only use who has or who can use computer. It must be selected by some proffessional judge not only the observers and also creating a criteria to win the title is a good idea.
One of the reasons why i don't like voting by the use of computer is that it is not fair. it is not fair to many people who thinks.votes the right one, to those contries who are poor, the third countries. if the country has a high population of course there is a high possiblity that voting will also become high because they can have a multiple votes to their bets to the places which belongs to their countries. Countries which are rich can vote many times than the countries who are poorwho can only vote ones. It is really not fair to others.
The second reason is that some humans has no right to vote because not everyone has an internet access, some can't even use the computer nor know the word "Computer" and aslo the word "Internet". How can they vote for their bet if the don't know how to vote. Voting is not considered to these people because they don't know how. If the new seven wonders of the world are selected by internet. those who knows how to us ethe internet will be the only one who thinks its the best.
The last reason is that voting can be manipulated. Presidential candidates are manipulating votes to win of course the country's candidate will also manipulate it by going to the server and do something evil. Eventhough thet don't admit it, it is still true and possible becasue anyone can do everything to win.
I therefore conclude that voting by the use of internet must be not considered and used because cheating is always possible , almost everyone cheats to gain something, some humans have no access to the internet eventhough some wants to vote the reason they can't is that they dont know how, why not give them right to vote for their bet and last is it is not fair, not fair to countries who have a power becaus ethey will used their power to win/own something. I suggest giving or creating a criteria to get the title and let the 50% for the judge and the other 50% is for the observers, history of the place and etc to get the title.
