|Seven Ancient Wonders of the World | |
|The Seven Wonders of the World were first designated by Antipater of Sidon in the second | |
|century AD. Not all classical writers list the same items as the Seven Wonders but most of | |
|them agree on the following: | |
|1. The Pyramids of Egypt are a group of three pyramids, Khufu, Khafra and Menkaura at Giza | |
|(near Cairo) to a southern limit 96 km distant are often called the first wonder of the | |
|world. The oldest is that of Zoser, at Saggara, built about 2,700 BC. The Great Pyramid of | |
|Cheops covers more than 12 acres and was originally 146.61 metres (481 ft) in height and | |
|230.43 x 230.43 metres (756 x 756 ft) at the base. Of all the Seven Wonders, the Pyramids | |
|alone survive. | |
|2. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon: Adjoining Nebuchadnezzar's palace, 96 km south of | |
|Baghdad,'the Gardens were built in the 6th century B.C. Terraced gardens, ranging from 23 to | |
|91 metres (75 to 300 ft) above ground level, watered from storage tank on the highest | |
|terrace. | |
|3. The Tomb of Mausolus: At Halicarnassus in Asia Minor. Built by the widowed Queen Artemisia| |
|about 350 BC. The memorial originated the term 'mausoleum'. | |
|4. The Temple of Diana at Ephesus: Ionic temple erected about 350 BC in honour of a | |
|non-Helleonic goddess who later became identified with the Greek goddess of the same name. | |
|The temple, with Ionic columns 18 metres high, was destroyed by invading Goth in 262 AD. | |
|5. The Colossus of Rhodes: A bronze statue of Apollo, set up about 280 BC. According to | |
|legend it stood at the harbour entrance of sea-port of Rhodes. It was destroyed during an | |
|earthquake in 224 BC. | |
|6. The Statue of Jupiter Olympus: At Olympia in the plain of Ellis was constructed of marble | |
|inlaid with ivory and gold by the sculptor Phidias, about 430 BC. All trace of it is lost, | |
|except for reproduction of coins. | |
|7. The Pharos of Alexandria: A marble watch tower and lighthouse on the island of Pharos in | |
|the harbour of Alexandria, built by Sostratus of Cnidus during the 3rd century BC It was | |
|destroyed by an earthquake in the 13th century. | |
|Worldwide Weather Extremes, Temperature Extremes | |
|Temperature extremes for any place on Earth are determined by a number of factors, including | |
|altitude, latitude and physical characteristics. For an extreme to be recorded, an | |
|observation must be made at the precise time and place of occurrence; consequently, more | |
|extreme temperatures undoubtedly have occurred. | |

|Rainfall Extremes | |
|The total annual precipitation recorded at a place may vary from year to year. The rainiest | |
|places show the greatest variations from year to year in actual amounts. The drier places | |
|show the greatest variations taken as a percentage of the mean value. At Cherrapunji (India),| |
|for example, the great amount of precipitation in a calendar year was 2,298.9;) cm. The least| |
|was 717.80 cm, a difference of 1,581.15 cm. At Arica (Chile), half of the total rainfall | |
|recorded from 1931 through 1960 fell in the single year 1949. No rain at all fell in 19 years| |
|out of the 30 years. Because of such fluctuations, the average ram precipitation may be | |
|greatly influenced by the available years of record; the longer the record, the more reliable| |
|is the average. | |
