Seven Wonder Of The Ancient Times
The task of compiling the seven wonders of the world for people would have been really a tough one
. The work of compilation of the list of seven wonders was formerly started by around 5th century BC. This task by the great people has been the source of knowledge for the future generation.During the olden days people faced lots of difficulties in travelling from one place to another in search of data. Today there is drastic change in the situation and there are large number of hotels and lodges for the travelers. People can now travel by air, by railways, by cars, by bikes, by buses etc. to different places without any inconvenience.
Despite so many hindrances in traveling people like Herodotus, Callimachus and others went for extensive exploration and documentation. They moved for long distances collected numerous facts and proofs for future references. The compilation of final list took place in the Medieval ages. Now there are only certain maps/atlas and other essential documents.
