Explore the most amazing wonders of the ancient world!

More than 2,000 years ago, travelers wrote about the incredible sights they saw while on their journeys. They told tales of hanging gardens that were built for a Babylonian queen, and a colossal statue that guided ships through the harbor of Rhodes in Greece. These writers compiled a list of the very best of these sights that are now known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Author Yona Zeldis McDonough takes the readers on a trip to the Great Pyramids in Egypt (the only Wonder still standing), the Statue of Zeus at Olympia in ancient Greece, and the other spectacles, detailing the creativity and skill that these early civilizations possessed.

Draws on the records of historical travelers in a Who HQ tour of the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia in Greece and other ancient world wonders, explaining what they reveal about the skills and creativity of long-ago civilizations. Co-written by the author of Who Was Harriet Tubman? Simultaneous and eBook. Illustrations.
