REVIEW

It was so fascinating to read about the 7 wonders of the world and the context that they were built in.

I liked seeing which ones we know more about and which ones are more whispers on the wind and theories from sources that can’t agree.

What was interesting to read was how they all seem to be tied to Alexander the Great and the Greek world, displaying the might of the Greek kingdom and their pantheon around the western world and beyond.

Brilliantly researched and beautifully written, it has definitely made me more curious.

My only downside is that I wish each section shared length meaning some Wonders got more pages than others but this is what happens when some were documented better than others. Overall a great text about curious wonders.
