Pompeii was amazing. I remember reading about it when I was in younger and being intrigued. I was just in awe when I visited though. The whole town really was rather advanced for it's time. And to see the "people" covered in lava was something most will never see.

Answer 14

Pyramids, and the Holy Land

What other wonders could out wonder these?  Haha

Answer 15

Pyramids. I don't know, I find them fascinating. The work and effort that was put into them... unbelievable!

Answer 16

Stonehenge, for the mystery of it.  I don't mean I believe aliens set up the stones, but the advancement of those ancient peoples is amazing to me.

I've loved Egyptian history since I was a kid. I got this book on Tutankhamun when I was six, and I read the c**p out of that thing, and it spread from there, so the Step Pyramid at Saqqara is my second favorite.

As well as all the nifty digs in Asia......

Answer 25

I don't know, we have a few little wonders near us, Canterbury Cathedral is meant to be pretty famous and yet I walk through there almost every day.  I love these old buildings, and you wonder how on earth they ever got there and the determination it would have taken.  I noticed some old graffiti on the cathedral walls from an an R.T 1606 and it was so neat and tidy, and you wonder who this person was and what he got up to.
