    Temple at Ephesos: Just a big temple,
    Statue of Zeus: Just a big golden seated statue
    Colossus of Rhodos: An awesome big standing statue in a harbor
    Pyramid of Giza: The biggest pyramid ever, much older than the other wonders, and not greek!
    Hanging gardens of Babylon: Babylon was Las Vegas of the Antiquity, and not greek!
    Lighthouse of Alexandria: The most useful of the wonders
    Mausoleum of Halicarnassus: Just a big tomb

    I ll go with Colossus for the very concept that inspired the statue of liberty.
    Simply epic.
    My second in the list are the Pyramids- nough said.
    Quem faz injúria vil e sem razão,Com forças e poder em que está posto,Não vence; que a vitória verdadeira É saber ter justiça nua e inteira-He who, solely to oppress,Employs or martial force, or power, achieves No victory; but a true victory Is gained,when justice triumphs and prevails.

    As an Egyptian myself I have to say the Pyramids of Giza.. but I still really like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon

    No it's just a world heritage site that's older than the pyramids and been confirmed as being in game and granting buffs.

    Oh wait that's why they aren't classified in the 7 ancient wonders group.

    I voted for zeus statue but actually I love all of them. It's a mystery how they could build those stunning structures.

    I know that... but Do you know how the hell egiptians made those super straight squared stones to rise up the pyramids ? You can't put a paper between 2 of them. That's what I mean. Just feel curious because these kind of things haven't been discovered yet.

    DON'T be so troll

    Im not trolling, Im just telling you the truth.

    yeah yeah, they say the same thing about the walls that the incas built, or the mayan pyramids amazing star positioning, or the roman aqueducts with their very controlled angle of descent, or the tunnels that they made, or the channel in corinth, or the atacama drawings...
