The only thing that could survive from these miracles is: the Pyramid of Cheops, which is located on the Giza raft in the vicinity of the Egyptian capital Cairo and the Nile Delta.
I know some interesting facts about each of these miracles, I have always been interested in this, I think you too.

What is very interesting is the complete absence of mention of the pyramid in the Egyptian papyri. It was erected during the reign of the despot pharaoh Cheops, about 100,000 people were employed in the construction of this pyramid for 20 years.
And that the pyramid is in honor of Cheops, but not his grave.

The question of whether these gardens actually existed is still open.
These gardens were named after the mythological queen of Assyria, the wife of the legendary king Nin, who killed by cunning and seized power. The historical prototype of which is the real Assyrian queen Shammuramat.

The statue of Zeus did not appear in the temple immediately, but was built by Phidias, but unfortunately not one of his creations has survived to our time.
The statue was badly damaged by the earthquake, but then was restored.
According to one of the sources, it was transported to Constantinople and installed in the Lavsa Palace, where it burned down.
And according to another source, it burned down along with the temple.

The Temple of Artemis has gone through several life cycles. The earliest version of the temple dates back to the Bronze Age. The scientist and poet Callimachus attributed this structure to the Amazons.

The mausoleum at Halicarnassus was approximately 45 meters high and stood for more than 16 centuries. It was built by the wife of Mausolus, Artimisia II, who grieved greatly for her husband.

Giant statue of the ancient Greek sun god Helios.
It was built with the money of the citizens of Rhodes, who sold siege weapons abandoned by the enemy, in gratitude to the sun god for his intercession.

The height of the lighthouse of Alexandria was 120 - 150 meters.
It was one of the tallest structures in the world for many centuries. It was the only one of the seven wonders of the world that had a practical purpose.

And all this makes you think about what will remain after us in 1000 years, what we will be able to pass on to "us" in the future.
What history will we leave behind? What "wonders of the world" will we leave for our descendants? I would like to believe that "we are the future" will be able to live in a beautiful world without wars, without hunger and fear.
So that people can achieve the same success and that after 1000 years, someone like us can read about us and be surprised, and what happened before, admire our actions and successes.
Can we create something similar?
