The seven wonders of the ancient world are:

Pyramids of Eqypt
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Temple of Artemus at Ephesus
Mausoleum of Halicarnissus
Colossus of Rhodes
Pharos of Alexandria

See this website of Encarta encyclopedia to find out what they are and where they were located. The pyramids are the only one that is still somewhat in tact.

Great question! The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are 1) the Great
Pyramid of Giza, 2) the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, 3) the Statue of Zeus
at Olympia, 4) the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, 5) the Mausoleum at
Halicarnassus, 6) the Colossus of Rhodes, and 7) the Lighthouse of
Alexandria. The only one that survives today is the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Of these, I think I just read that the pyramids are the only one truly left
standing. There are also many modern wonders

The natural wonders include Niagara Falls (near where I live) and the Great
Barrier Reef, among others - see the website. This website also has a list
of human-made wonders including the CN tower in Toronto, Statue of Liberty
etc. and throws in a list of forgotten wonders as well.
