30 Greatest Man-Made Wonders of the World - Travel Video

The earliest lists of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were made more than 2,000 years ago by ancient Hellenic tourists. Except for the Great Pyramid of Giza those wonders no longer exist. They were destroyed by earthquakes, fires and in one case by an angry mob. Many other lists of amazing structures have been made since then. Here’s a look at our list of the greatest man-made wonders of the world:

29:59 For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”.

Wow, the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia are really beautiful and amazing.

[hado]

I love Angkor Wat and the philosophy behind it. The temple was originally built to honor Hindu’s Gods, but then converted to serve Buddhism. However, only new statues of Buddhas were added, almost no symbols of the other region were removed. That is harmony and sympathy.

[calmingheart]

As a Cambodian and living in Siem Reap, I've been visiting Angkor Wat countless of times, and each and every time never didn't I feel amazed by this unbelievably amazing temple built by our ancestors.

We warmly welcome everyone to visit our beautiful small country. ❤

A part of the Madurai Meenakshi Temple which is the size of Pantheon in Greece ( though shorter ) is converted into a shopping center. The whole Temple is being destroyed by authorities and hawkers. Many paintings were destroyed and white paint coated over it. The temple has more than 30000 sculptures and more than 3000 monolithic stone pillars. Neither the Central, state nor local Authorities have any sense of art and doing everything to destroy it.

Seen a few of these. For me Angkor Wat is the most spectacular. Just felt like I was transported back in time. So authentic, magical and quaint.

[jameelam]

Proud of Taj Mahal and meenakshi temple😍😍😍, both from India... Love to see all exceptional architectures of the world.. Very nice video

[euroschmau]

While the Meenakshi Temple is indeed amazing, the nearby Great Chola Temple of Thanjavur is even more architecturally sublime. That paired with the two other Great Chola temples makes for a truly amazing journey. Also, the Srirangam Temple a little north from Madurai is quite spectacular.

Love from India 🇮🇳
I have to visit there one day
I have heard that there are still the idol's of ❤️Lord Shiva ❤️ and people also worship them
Also I'm Hindu but I love all my Buddhist brothers ..
In India we also have his holiness ❤️Dalai Lama ❤️ and we are so blessed that ❤️ Buddha ❤️ was from India and Nepal (Siddharth Gautam was born in Nepal but when he got enlightenment and became Buddha he was in India)
I will surely visit Cambodia one day
🇮🇳❤️🇰🇭

[abeynayakagehemachandra]

Yes. It is good one. But some places like "Sigiriya: The Lion Rock of Sri Lanka" are excluded from this video.. King Kashyapa (477 – 495 AD) built his palace on top of this rock and decorated its sides with colourful frescoes. It is worthwhile to visit this place.

The ingenuity displayed by the individuals who created all these wonders is a wonder in and of itself.

#3 37:45 The amazing Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. Thank for your videos that showing Angkor Wat temple to the world.❤️

[harshitk]

Angkorwat 🕉❤️ will surely visit there, love from 🇮🇳

I believe some of those included in this list - like Sydney Opera House, Eiffel Tower, Christ the Redeemer, Statue of Liberty - should be in a separate category. I don't think they have anything in common with the likes of ancient man-made wonders like Borobodur, Pyramids, Machu Picchu, Petra, and the rest. It's like a car show of vintage Rolls Royce cars with a sprinkling of Prius.
