8 wonders of the world?

Answer 1

There are dozens upon dozens of "wonders", all of which were arbitrarily nominated as wonders.

They are usually grouped in sets of seven.  "7 Wonders of the World".

But there are many different groups...

There are the Wonders of the Natural World

There are the Wonders of the Modern World

There are the Wonders of the Ancient World

And a bunch others...

There are actually 7 Wonders on the Planet but the "eight wonder" is a common statement. The source to check out the details is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Wond...

7 wonders are listed in the source. Some say the Taj Mahal (located in India) is also a world wonder. That makes it 8.
