Dịch bài đọc:

Bảy kỳ quan thế giới là một danh sách được biết đến rộng rãi gồm bảy địa điểm nổi tiếng của thời cổ đại.

Phiên bản sớm nhất được biết đến của danh sách được biên soạn vào thế kỷ thứ 2 trước Công nguyên bởi Antipater of Sidon. Nó chỉ bao gồm các công trình nằm xung quanh vành đai Địa Trung Hải nơi những người tham quan thường có thể đi lại an toàn.

Trong số những kỳ quan này, kỳ quan duy nhất còn tồn tại cho đến ngày nay là Đại kim tự tháp Giza. Sự tồn tại của Vườn treo chưa được chứng minh chắc chắn. Hồ sơ cho thấy năm kỳ quan kia đã bị phá hủy bởi thiên tai.
