Were they talking about the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World(the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Tomb of Mausolus, the Temple of Artemis, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon), the New Seven Wonders of the World that came out in 07 (Great Wall of China, Chichen Itza, Petra, Machu Picchu, Christ the Redeemer, The Colosseum, Taj Mahal) or the Seven Natural Wonders of the World (Mount Everest, Paricutin Volcano, The Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, The Harbor of Rio de Janeiro, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Northern Lights)? For the seven natural wonders, I would have put the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland or the White Cliffs of Dover in over Paricutin but that's just me. Heck, if they wanted a volcano, how about Kilauea.
Yesterday, while watching a streamer, I learned something cool about the Eiffel Tower. The 72 names engraved on the Eiffel Tower belong to French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who supported the building process. These golden letters are located on the first level (the lowest platform) of the tower, just beneath the balcony that runs around the structure.
Other things I learned about it: The stairs only go up to the 2nd floor. After that you have to take an elevator. The original spiral staircase was sold for scrap.
