We weren't even close!!

How many people can name the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World? We tried tonight...and I think we got TWO of the seven! I think I need to go back to school. Here they are...courtesy of our friends at Wikipedia:

the Great Pyramid of Giza
the
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
the
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
the
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
the
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus
the
Colossus of Rhodes
the
Lighthouse of Alexandria

Actually, the list we composed was made up of a combination of the seven wonders of the: ancient world, natural world and the medieval mind, according to the lists I found on wonderclub.com--they have a bunch of lists of "wonders".

So, we were on the right track!
