THE HISTORY OF THE 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD

The provenance of the original list of the 7 Wonders of the world is rather mysterious. We know that these buildings were constructed during antiquity, in a span of time which reaches from the 3rd millennia BC up to the 3rd century BC. The first written trace of this list is attributed to a certain Philo of Byzantium who is said to have written a document called the Palatinus 398. A copy of this document is currently preserved in the library of Heidelberg university. Originally, the ramparts of Babylon were part of the list, but they’ve been replaced by the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
