Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (thing)

If you wish to remember the identies of the Seven Wonders, you may find this mnemonic helpful.

Like this:

• C = Colossus of Rhodes


• A = Temple of Artemis at Ephesus


• Z = Statue of Zeus at Olympia


• M = Mausoleum at Halicarnassus


• G = Hanging Gardens of Babylon


• A = Lighthouse of Alexandria


• P = Great Pyramid of Giza

If you picture the first six of this list tumbling into a great (and strangely spelled) chasm, leaving only the Pyramid, you can further associate that this great Egyptian monument is the only of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World which is left to us.
