0World Seven Wonders. 7 wonders of the world Contain 7 Secrets You will be Surprised to Know.
Original 7 wonders of the world represent proof of the human being’s unlimited, sometimes even suspicious, intelligence and creativity. Across different generations and in different places of the world, each civilization wanted to make its mark and to remind the world that it existed. The original 7 Wonders list was created in the 2nd BCE, but in 2007 Swiss Foundation launched a campaign and updated seven new Wonders of the World. On the other hand, Seven Wonders of the World contains 7 secrets. What is that secret? Today's episode will reveal that mystery.
Great Wall of China is more than 21,000 kilometers long—it took some 20 years to finish, across which nature offered some serious challenges; highlands, landscapes, plateaus, natural barriers, and more! Overcoming these challenges and curating such a massive wall came with its losses as well; over a million people died during building one of the 7 Wonders of the World and archaeologists have found human remains beneath parts of the wall.
Chichen Itza is believed to be the largest Mayan city ever built. Its name means “at the mouth of the well of Itza”. Maybe one of the things that made travelers and archaeologists vote for this site to be one of the 7 Wonders of the World is the way it echoes unusual sounds. It is said that if you clap one from one end of the Ball Court, it comes back creating 9 echoes in the middle of the court.
The Ancient City of Petra were destroyed by the Bedouins! Petra, known as the Rose City as it was built from pink sandstone, is one of the Middle East’s fascinating architectural marvels and proof that this region was truly rising during the Middle Ages. However, the value of Petra was not seen or considered until it was listed among the new 7 Wonders of the World. Ages before that, Bedouins of the Arabian Desert destroyed some of the carvings on the Treasury’s walls.
Machu Picchu, one of the most famous lost cities in the world and known as the Lost City of the Incas, was built back in 1450 and neglected for a hundred years. Several hundred years later, UNESCO listed it as a Heritage Site in 1983 as it matches the criteria. The stones used to build one of the 7 Wonders of the World were more than 50 pounds in weight—and it is claimed that no wheels were used to move these stones up the mountain!
Christ the Redeemer Designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and sculpted by French sculptor Paul Landowski, Christ the Redeemer is one of the fascinating 7 Wonders of the World. The statue was originally built in France and then moved to Brazil. Reaching 125 feet tall and placed atop a mountain, Christ the Redeemer is not protected from lightning—it gets hit by lightning around three to six times a year.
Colosseum was a place for brutal and tragic performances! Known as the most iconic ancient amphitheater in the world and one of the 7 Wonders of the World, the Colosseum is an architectural beauty that no one can ever deny. Still, there is some ugliness behind this beauty. The amphitheater was built between 70 AD and 82 AD by Emperor Titus Vespasian and it seats more than 50,000 spectators. The Colosseum was built to accommodate events like gladiator fights, animal hunts, executions, and dramas! It is believed that it was home to brutal and tragic performances. Actually, during certain games, 10,000 animals would be killed in a single day!
Taj Mahal, built by emperor Shah Jahan in honor of his late wife—a sincere and glorious display of love, alright? However, one of the popular legends about the beautiful architectural monument that was easily chosen as one of the 7 Wonders of the World, is that the romantic emperor cut off the hands of every worker who contributed to building the Taj Mahal so they couldn’t build something this beautiful ever again! More than that, animals were hurt to build it, as elephants were used to carry the heavy construction material to the site.
