The first of the seven wonders of the ancient world was compiled over 2,000 years ago by ancient Greek tourists. Without the Great Pyramid of Giza, those wonders do not exist.
They were destroyed by earthquakes, fires, and sometimes by an angry mob. Many other amazing building lists have been made since then. Here is a look at our list of the greatest man-made miracles in the world.
Lalibela Churches. Built by King Lalibela to be the ‘New Jerusalem,’ the town of Lalibela in the Ethiopian mountains is home to an amazing eleven churches.
These were carved from the top down a living rock between the 7th and 13th centuries, with a complex series of tunnels and tunnels connecting them. Of these, the Church of St.
George is undoubtedly very impressive as it is very well carved on the mountain. Placed in the form of a Greek cross, the church reaches a height of 40 feet 40 m, with spectacular works of art found inside its celestial sphere. Leaning Tower of Pisa.
This world-famous pyramid is known the world over for its incredible four-degree inclination, which makes it appear that the tower is about to collapse.
The magnificent inclined belltower sits behind Pisa Cathedral and is built in Roman style. From as far back as the 12th century, the tower took 199 years to complete, however.
It began to slide during construction due to the soft soil on one side. Today, the tower - 55.86 meters high - attracts visitors from far and wide.
Himeji Castle is considered to be the best example of Japanese castle architecture. It was fortified to protect the enemy during the feudal period, but it was rebuilt several times over the centuries and reflects different design times.
She survived World War II bombings and has appeared repeatedly in domestic and foreign films, including James Bond's film "You Only Live Twice".
The white exterior and design give the castle the look of a flying bird, making this castle a nickname 'white egret castle'.
The Meenakshi Amman Temple is an impressive Hindu temple dating back to the sixth century, although much of the modern architecture was built a thousand years later.
It is the most important temple in Madurai, itself a 2,500-year-old city in South India. Intricate paintings inside and out; the temple has 14 towers, each dedicated to a god or man.
Although the statues on the towers had previously been empty, paint was added on top of it years in festive seasons, which created the color chaos that can be seen today.
Considered a masterpiece of 20th-century art, the Sydney Opera House was designed and built by architect Jørn Utzon to produce a portrait of a sailing vessel.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is a large statue of Buddha carved on a cliff in western China. Beginning in the year 713 during the reign of the Tang Dynasty, the statue was not completed until 803 and was the work of thousands of sculptors and workers.
Like a large stone carved by the Buddha on earth, the Leshan Giant Buddha appears in poetry, song, and story. This statue is 233 feet high and has 11 fingers long on each of its large resting arms.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a designated bridge connecting the Golden Gate, a road between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. The bridge took four years to complete and was completed in 1937.
The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest bridge in the world when completed, and it has since become a worldwide landmark in California.
The famous red-orange color of the bridge was specially chosen to make the bridge easily visible through the thick fog that often covers the bridge.
Undoubtedly the most spectacular sight in Russia, this twisted Cathedral with colorful onion houses is housed in the famous Red Square of Moscow. St Basil's Cathedral was built by Ivan.
The Terrible in 1555. This building is a crazily shining lollypop of weird styles that look like a funfair and look unlike anything else in Russia.
Because of its unique architecture and its historic links leading to the victorious war in Tatarstan, the cathedral is a symbol of Russia.
Built-in the ruins of a Roman fortress in 889, the Alhambra is a combination of royalty and fortress found in Granada, Spain.
For nearly 1,000 years, much of the Iberian peninsula was ruled by Muslim Moors, with Andalusia being the world's longest-running homeland.
Today, you can explore its castle, the old part of the castle, and climb its watchtower, explore the amazing Moor gardens and courtyards, and marvel at the soft geometric patterns throughout the complex.
The setting behind the Sierra Nevada makes the Alhambra even more mysterious.
With the tallest and weighing more than 80 tons, the Moai Statues on Easter Island in Polynesia are iconic.
You will probably see them in the picture even if you have never heard of them. These 800-plus statues, many of which point to the sea, were engraved on the volcanic ash of the Rapa Nui people somewhere between 400 and 1500 AD.
Possibly created using ordinary basalt rocks, each of these large monolithic statues would take about a year to complete.
There are many theories as to why they were created, including as a way of honoring important ancestors and because of their belief, it could improve the soil. Eiffel Tower.
Named after the Gustave Eiffel, the undeniable emblem of Paris is a must-see for any visit to the French capital. Built between 1887 and 1889, the tower was originally built as an entrance to the World's Fair.
The tower is 324 meters high and was the tallest man-made building in the world until the Empire State Building took over the title in 1930.
Take the elevator to the view of the tower and marvel at the view of the Parisian boulevard and the pattern of the parks below.
Counted among the most beautiful monuments in Egypt, Abu Simbel has two large stone temples on the west shore of Lake Nasser. The twin temples were originally carved outside.
The mountain during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses. The Great in the 13th century BC, as a permanent memorial to him and his queen Nephilim.
The building was completed in the 1960s to avoid drowning during the construction of Lake Nasser, an artificial water reservoir built after the construction of the Aswan Dam on the Nile River.
Photographers will want to have more memory cards when visiting the fascinating Ifugao Rice Terraces on the island of Luzon.
For 2,000 years people have been cultivating rice in the fields along the Cordilleras mountains. The most famous can be found near the city of Banaue.
They were created by the Ifugao people without modern tools and are still in use today.
One of the architectural designs of King "Mad" is Ludwig II of Bavaria, Neuschwanstein Castle is a quintessential mythological monument.
It was the rising splendor of the palace and the romanesque revival style that inspired Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Construction of the castle began in 1869, but sadly, Ludwig did not find a place to live; died in 1886, the same year that the fort was completed.
Located in South Bavaria between forested mountains and crystal-clear lakes, the scenic landscape is as impressive as the building itself.
