That is definantly uber, but unless I was back in the days, I wouldn't really care much for it. But a huge f*****g bronze statue of a warrior, a huge golden statue of Zues, or an egyptian burial tomb, then I am interested, heh.

I chose the gardens of Babylon for the simple fact that I bet they were beautiful and some plants there may not exist anymore.

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. But then I realized it was in Iraq. Yet again, Iraq then wasn't a scum hole.

I was thinking this too. Given the choices though, I think the Temple would have to come first.

Actually, I'd like to see for certain when the Sphinx was built since there seems to be some confusion as to when it was actually started.

I love traveling. The best part is seeing "anchient wonders" and shit like that.
I got to see these 3 years ago. It was awesome to jog all the way up these pyramids and then just gaze across my ancestor's homeland. It started to pour rain when i got to the Pyramid of the sun but that didn't stop me. Felt great..
