The seven wonders of the medieval and modern

The seven wonders of the medieval world



Stonehenge

The famous circle of huge stones was built in stages from about 3000 BC. The origin of stones,how they were transported and the purpose of the site remain a mystery. it was possibly some  sort of ancient observatory.


The great wall of China
This was a defensive wall designed to protect China from its warlike neighbors  to the north. it was built in stages after 220 BC , using a huge labor force of as many as 300000 workers. the main  part is 3460 km  long and wide enough for an army to march along it ten abreast.




the other data is continued after  some more suggestions  of   readers
