The Eight Wonders of the World

As you descend from the top of the Empire State Building, there is a hallway that displays pictures (on back0lit glass) of the eight wonders of the world, the eighth being, of course, the Empire State Building. I knew that there were only supposed to be seven, and I got the marketing strategy, but I was a little disgusted with myself when I realized that I couldn't name them. I hadn't forgotten them; I had never known them.

The Pyramid at Giza

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

Zeus at Olympia

Artemis at Ephesus

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
