The Great Wall Of China

The “Great Wall of China” was built by the first emperor of China Qin Shi Huang around 221 b.c.it was built mainly to protect the Chinese states against the raids and invasions of the various nomadic groups of the Eurasian steppe. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th-century bc; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the great wall. In December 1987, it was declared the ‘World Heritage’ by the UNESCO.

The notion that the Wall can be seen from the moon is a well-known but implausible myth.

It is said that as many as 400,000 people died during the wall's construction; many of these workers were buried within the wall itself.
The Chinese don’t call the Wall ‘The Great Wall’. Chinese adds an adjective, not “great” but“long”. So the Chinese for “The Great Wall”, cháng chéng, means ‘Long City’ or ‘Long Wall’.

Brazil, and is listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World.
[3] It is made of reinforced
concrete and soapstone.

Facts:

It’s believed that the workers who made these tiles occasionally wrote notes on the back, meaning this iconic landmark is full of hidden messages.

The original design of the statue was different from what we see today. It was intended for Christ to be holding a globe in one hand and a cross in the other, rather than two open arms.
Christ the Redeemer was not actually built in Brazil. It was first made in France by French sculptor Paul Landowski who created the statue in clay pieces and then shifted to Brazil.

The Colosseum or Coliseum was also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre is an oval amphitheater in
the center of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine limestone, tuff (volcanic rock), and brick-
faced concrete. It was the largest amphitheater ever built at the time and held 50,000

July 2007 it was declared the wonder of the world.

Facts:

This magnificent monument was built with the manpower of tens of thousands of slaves.
The Colosseum is the largest amphitheater (meaning “theatre in the round”) in the world!
This ancient sporting arena could easily fit a modern-day football pitch inside!
This brilliant building had 80 entrances and could seat approximately 50,000 spectators who would come to watch sporting events and games.
The event at the Colosseum was seriously brutal, though – during certain games held by the emperors around 10,000 animals were killed in a single day.oh! it’s really weird.
To protect the spectators from the blistering sun and heat of Ancient Rome, there was the velarium – a tarpaulin that could be pulled over the top of the seating area to provide shade. Very clever!
Below the Colosseum were numerous rooms and underground passages. There were also 36 trap doors in the arena for special effects!
Archaeologists believe that the Colosseum contained both drinking fountains and latrines.

Chichen Itza

Chichen Itza which means “at the mouth of the well of Itza “, is the 2nd most visited
archeological site of Mexico today. The Kukulkan Pyramid in Chichen-Itza which known as “El
Castillo” (the castle), is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World elected on 07.07.2007.
Facts:

One thing most people do not know about Chichen Itza is that it was discovered twice.
Many of the sites in Chichen Itza are known for their unusual sounds. If you clap once from one end of the Ball Court, it produces nine echoes in the middle of the court.
The term Chichen Itza means ‘the mouth at the well of Itza’. It is believed Itza means ‘water magicians’, deriving from the Mayan Itz for ‘magic’ and á for ‘water’.
There are 13 ball courts for playing the Mesoamerican ballgame in Chichen Itza. The Great Ball Court is by far the most impressive. It is the largest and best-preserved ball court ever found in Mesoamerica.
The structure was an ancient Mayan observatory that provided a way for the Itza people to observe changes in the sky.
Each of the El Castillo pyramid’s four sides has 91 steps. When added together and including the temple platform of the temple as the final step, it produces a total of 365 steps. This equals the number of days in a Maya calendar year.
