Centuries ago in Ancient Greece, a man by the name of Antipater of Sidon compiled a list of what he thought
were the seven wonders of the world. The Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt is the only wonder you can still see today.
Angkor Wat should really be known as a wonder because it is the largest temple in the world. The temple was
built around the year 1100 to honor a Hindu God, but over the next three centuries it became a Buddhist religious
center. The area surrounding the temple, Angkor Thom, used to be the royal capital city.

tourist attraction.
