1/ Multiplea)choice
The only surviving wonder on

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 seven included the
Hanging Garden of Babylon in present-day
Iraq, the Statue of Zeus in Greece, and the
Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. The pyramid
is only wonder you can still see today.
Many people claim that there were other
wonders, which the ancient Greeks knew
nothing about. These include the Great
Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India and
Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
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.

In the early 15th century, The Khmer rulers
moved to Phnom Penh and Angkor was
quiet. It now is a famous tourist attraction.
