Which Wonder of the World Was Removed?

Published in Ancient Wonders 1 min read

Of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, all but one have been removed or destroyed over time. Here's a breakdown:

Only the Great Pyramid of Giza still stands today. The remaining six wonders no longer exist. This means that six of the wonders were "removed" from the world, through destruction, natural disaster, or simply disappearing. Because the prompt asks for which wonder, and not how many wonders, the answer is best specified by individually listing them.

Here's a list of the Wonders that were removed:

  • The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
  • The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
  • The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
  • The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
  • The Colossus of Rhodes
  • The Lighthouse of Alexandria

Each of these met their end through various means, including earthquakes, fires, and other forms of destruction.
