More than 2,000 years ago a poet called Antipater made a list of the most amazing structures known to the ancient Greeks - the Seven Wonders of the World. They were the technological marvels of their age - the largest, the richest, the most splendid and the most ambitious projects that the great civilizations of the eastern Mediterranean could produce. Only one of the original Seven Wonders - the great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza - still stands today, but all the others in various ways have left a lasting influence on the world.

Diana Bentley also explains how people in modern times have uncovered evidence of the original Wonders, and describes some of the great structures of our own age that the Wonders have inspired.
