The Greeks - Makers of the World Wonders
By Vickie Chao |
|
1 Have you ever heard of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? A Greek writer and poet by the name of Antipater of Sidon was the first person to conceive that idea, some time during the 2nd century B.C. His selections were probably based on the popular tourist spots of his days. Of the seven monuments that made it to the list that we know today (which may not be the same as Antipater's original list), five of them were closely linked to the same civilization -- Greece. Together, they showcased what a magnificent culture the Greeks had at the time.
