Activities for the Seven Natural Wonders of the World

The Cable News Network, also known as CNN, compiled in 1997 a list of what they believed to be the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The list included the Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, Harbor at Rio de Janeiro, Mount Everest, Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), Paricutin Volcano and Victoria Falls. There is debate related to whether there should be more wonders included on the list.

How to Save the Natural & Animal Environment

Saving the environment, which includes the natural and animal worlds that fascinate and sustain the human family, isn't as hard as you might think. In theory, at least. Scientist Barry Commoner, when speaking about the damaging effect of pollution on the natural world, said, "The difficulty lay not in scientific ignorance, but in willful greed." In other words, we know what needs to be done to save the environment. But inspiring others to action is another matter.

What Are the Seven Natural Wonders of the World?

In ancient times, the seven wonders of the world were man-made and included the hanging gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the lighthouse of Alexandria and the great pyramid of Giza which is the only ancient wonder still standing. New lists have been created for wonders of the world that are natural, and seven wonders consistently make the cut.

The Pyramids ( Historical place of Egypt )

The Pyramids are situated at Giza just outside Cairo and is one of the engineering marvels of all time and the only remaining wonder of the ancient world. Situated on the west bank of the Nile, which is associated with death, the pyramids are generally believed to be tombs for the Pharaohs or a resurrection machine for his rebirth. The first large Egyptian pyramid was the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, built during the third dynasty of the Old Kingdom to protect the body of the king Djoser who died around 2650 BC.

Kathmondu ( Natural view of Nepal )

The history of the city of Kathmandu dates back to ancient times and is inseparable from that of the Kathmandu valley whose architectural and cultural heritage consists of seven groups of monuments and buildings. These illustrate the historic and artistic achievements for which Kathmandu is renowned and contain a variety of beautiful and unique architecture. Kathmandu is a mixture of both Buddhist and Hindu temples with stone and wood carvings providing excellent examples of intricate workmanship that can be seen throughout the city. The finest example is in the Durbar Square; this is located in the old city and developed over many centuries.
