I would love to 'do' the Victorian times World Tour of ancient and interesting places .. I think if I saw one place I would be inspired to go and see them all .. I have 'visited' them all online and marvelled at the cleverness of those ancient builders and architects .. when you look at some of the 'efforts' that are being built now it's clear we seem to have lost the 'grandness' of design that those ancient folks had ...

If I were to choose, I would choose the Great Pyramid of Giza. I bet the mere sight of it will simply be spectacular. I have also been to Rhodes.

For me the wonder of the anicent world I'd love to visit would be the Colossus of Rhodes. My mum has been there and said it was wonderful, my cousin also got married in Rhodes and one day I would like to go there too.

Actually the only one surviving from the seven wonders of the ancient world is the Great Pyramid of Giza And I have visited that one :) a magnificent building that defied the time for 4000 years! also i saw some of the remains of the Pharos of Alexandria (also in Egypt) but it's no longer existing, it collapsed long time ago..

I would definitely wanna see the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. I learnt about this place in Sunday school, in the bible. In my bible there was this artist's image of what it looks like and it was just totally beautiful in the pic.
