I think Machu Picchu is the most interesting because an entire village made of stone still stands after thousands of years!I think that is the most impressive of them all.The Great Wall of China is a close second.

I like the Taj Mahal in India. It was interesting to learn how the emperer was jailed and could only see it out his window. It was sad at the sametime though. It was also sad (but sweet) to hearit was built for his dead wife. He must have really loved her! The Taj Mahal is very beautiful.

I think the The Roman Colosseum is very interesting because it was built to give favors to successful legionaries. I also think it is amazing that it still stands today at the age of about 2,000 years old. That tells you how amazing and talented the Romans are at building, and how back then the materials used are still able to survive in our time and climate.

I think that the Taj Mahal in India is one of the most interesting of the new 7 Wonders of the World. It is like a perfect piece of art-it is built of marble and has laid out walled gardens. I think that it is so amazing because it has a beautiful water front and a regal appearance.

I think that the most interesting one of the ancient wonders of the world were the Pyramids of Giza. It was truly atonishing that anyone would be able to build something that big with stones that large and keep it from collapsing. At the time they had no tools or modern day technology and yet it has remained the tallest building in the world up until about 100 years ago. I was also very surprised that it was not also included as one of the new 7 wonders of the world.

I think the Great Pyramids of Giza were the most interesting because of how tall it was and how they did not use modern electric equipment to create them - it was all man made.

I liked the Chichen Itza in mexico. It looks like a cool pyramid to explore and climb to the top of. Maybe it has tunnels that lead to a tomb in the middle...

I think the Lighthouse of Alexandria is cool because it is amazing how the builders got the lighthouse (1303 feet tall) to stay up and the fact that it was made of granite and limestone.

The one I like the most was the Kremlin and Red square in Moscow, Russia. I liked that one because it kind of reminded me of the Disneyland castle and Neuschwanstein castle.

I like the Taj Mahal. Its very beautiful, and I love the white marble, as well as the amazing gardens and plants around it. The Taj Mahal looks peaceful, and its very elegant. I just love how it was built, and its just a breathtaking view.

My favorite is the Great Wall of China... thousands of people gave their lives building it, it kept the Mongols out of China, and you can see it from space! I don't know what is better than that.

The Christ Redeemer is my favorite because of how beautiful and unique it is. The location, Rio de Janeiro, is an amazing location to put this Wonder of the Modern World. I love the purpose behind it, and the symbol it has become, which is "It has become a symbol of the city and of the warmth of the Brazilian people, who receive visitors with open arms".

I think the Christ Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. The fact that this statue is some 125 feet it the air make it cool. It also has a cool meaning. The brazilians let it mean to greet visitors with open arms and a new warmth in the town.

I think the most amazing of the ancient 7 wonders was the Lighthouse of Alexandria. It symbolized Alexander's strength and power. Also- the way they were able to keep the flames going was brilliant. For the modern 7 wonders of the world, I of course, think that the Taj Mahal is by far the best.

I have a book that has seven world wonders of the modern times, but they had completely different things, which surprised me, and I thought that it was pretty odd. I guess that means that those are from an older time than the new one of today!

Is this Alexander's tomb?!It now appears likely that Ptolemy adapted a vacant tomb that had been prepared by and for the last native Pharaoh of Egypt, Nectanebo II. However, this Pharaoh had fled south to Ethiopia, when Egypt had been invaded by the Persians in 343BC, so he never had the opportunity to occupy his tomb. The site of the prospective tomb was a chapel within the temple complex of the Serapeum in the cemetery area of ancient Memphis at Saqqara. It lay at the end of a mile-long avenue of sphinxes. The Serapeum complex was rediscovered by Auguste Mariette in 1850-1851 by excavating the sands away from the sphinxes one by one. Guarding the entrance to the chapel of Nectanebo II, Mariette discovered an incongruous semicircle of life-size Greek statues of poets and philosophers, which appear to date to the time of Ptolemy. Some of them can be identified, including Pindar, whose house and descendants Alexander had saved at Thebes, Homer, who was Alexander's favourite poet, and Plato, who had been the mentor of Alexander's tutor, Aristotle. Could these statues have been erected to honour Alexander's tomb?
