7 Wonders of the Ancient (Greek) World

Can we have a more universal list of the '7 Wonders of the Ancient World'?

Anything from the beggining of time until 1500 A.D. is permitted.

It must be a significant and magnificat place for the people of the time as well.

A "wonder" of the ancient world. Top kek

Anyways yes. 7 wonder of the ancient world was about the immidiate Greek world. There were far greater wonders in Asia unknown to the Greeks.

>Giant Brasilian Jesus statue built in 1931
it was between that and Mount Rushmore i think. Brazil won because the voting was via internet kek

so when you swim between his legs you can look up for a panty shot?

that's lewd, onii-chan

The only American temple worthy of the list in Templo Mayor, but it doesn't even fucking exist anymore...

Kailash Temple: Monolith Rockcut temple at Ellora Caves (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellora_Caves)

I don't know man, teotihuacan is pretty based.

i'd trade it for Chichen Itzá to be honest
but Machu Picchu has its own marvel
i get your point though: buddhist temples are underrepresented

But if I had to pick something from the Americas

this is fucking surreal.

looks like something from the lord of the rings movie

imagine when it actually had roofs and running drinkable water

Brihadeeswarar Temple (lit. the Big Temple): Completed in 1010 CE and is 198 ft (60 m) high and is one of the tallest in the world.

Stone House on a mountain.

What's so impressive? I make this on Minecraft when I was 16

Those Peruvians have some pretty neat places desu

Do they have some CGI reconstruction or something like that?

I guess, it's about the place, not the thing they built.

yeh
but no big image

Do you guys still use it as a temple or it is just a touristic attraction nowadays?

That temple or Konark, which is more important?

Also why does north India have no epic temples?

Did they all get Mugal'd?

Rani Ki Vav: A temple turned upside down to worship water, an ancient step-well. An exquisite example of subterranean architecture, Rani ki Vav is 64 meters long, 20 meters wide and 27 meters deep and runs downwards upto a length of seven storeys.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_ki_vav

the one you quoted is active worship even now. Not all ancient temples are worshipped BTW.

>Also why does north India have no epic temples?
kebabs were iconoclasts as they detested idol worshipers. Hindu kings in north India literally has a phase where they would build temple literally to BTFO muslim invaders.

>Did they all get Mugal'd?
there were other muslim kings other than mughals.. infact, mughals were much nicer than most of them.
