The Pyramids of Giza
The oldest of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world is still standing — built about 4,500 years ago.
The Great Wall of China
A wall so long it would stretch across a whole continent — built over hundreds of years to protect China.
The Colosseum
An arena in Rome so big it could hold 50,000 people — and it was built nearly 2,000 years ago.
Machu Picchu
A lost Inca city hidden high in the mountains of Peru, with stones fitted together so perfectly you can't slip a card between them.
The First Moon Landing
On July 20, 1969, two astronauts walked on the Moon for the first time — after blasting off from Florida.
Stonehenge
A ring of giant stones on an English plain, built about 4,500 years ago — and nobody knows exactly why.
The Taj Mahal
A palace of white marble built as a gift of love — it took more than 20 years and 20,000 workers to build.
The Eiffel Tower
The most famous tower in the world was only meant to stand for 20 years — Paris loved it so much it stayed.
Angkor Wat
The largest religious building on Earth — a temple in the Cambodian jungle so famous it is on the country's flag.
The Acropolis of Athens
A marble temple on a rocky hill, built 2,500 years ago for the goddess Athena — and still standing over Athens.
