    I saw this random fact:

    Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, 3 fell due to earthquakes, 2 due to fires, 1 probably never even existed, and only one stands today—The Pyramid of Khufu.

    Now, can you name which Wonder came to which end?  I don't know the answer off hand, so I may chime in....Great Pyramid of Giza Hanging Gardens of Babylon Temple of Artemis at EphesusStatue of Zeus at Olympia Mausoleum of Halicarnassus Colossus of Rhodes Lighthouse of Alexandria

    I think the existence of the Colossus of Rhodes is disputed.

    I thought the garden of Babylon may not have existed.
