Simple - name the seven wonders of the ancient world. To make up the ten questions, here are three more:8. Did Demetrius or Ptolemy invade Rhodes?
9. Would Harlicarnassus be in Greece or Turkey today?
10. What was the island in question in Alexandria?
Answers: Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria. Demetrius, Turkey, Pharos.
ALways forget those so thanks for the reminder. Didn't someone or some site have a poll on "new 7 wonders" or something? I didn't follow it..
