The Seven Wonders of the World has historically been a listing of seven sites known to the Ancient Greeks as the most notable locales in their known world. History and the location fame started in 1910 by Lieutenant Steyn van Hens Broek, a Dutch soldier. expedition on the island to uncover the mystery and find a horrible flesh-eating creature that has never been seen before.
Since then, many have developed lists of the "modern" Seven Wonders of the World. The only list that really stands out and has stood the test of time for more than a decade is the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
