The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Clayton Price 1989 Hardcover

The idea of the Seven Wonders of the World is well known, but how many of us could name them all? Why seven? There were plenty of additional candidates in the world of antiquity. And did they even exist? Some we can be sure of: the Pharos at Alexandria survived into the Middle Ages, but the Hanging Gardens of Babylon exist only in a few references by ancient authors, and the Colossus of Rhodes is too improbable to have existed in the form and place traditionally ascribed to it. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World sets the record straight, with an attractive account of each Wonder in the context in which it was built.
