## Seven Wonders

The first use of the term "Seven Wonders of the World" occurred in 93 C.E. by the ancient Reman philosopher Aelius Cassianus, who identified seven great architectural items from around the Reman empire. Cassianus's list of wonders served as the basis for a new list, composed in 1836 by Liotainian traveler and writer Eimantas Adomaitis, who attempted to visit all seven of the seven wonders identified. In the intervening centuries, several of the wonders first listed by Cassianus were destroyed, sometimes without any trace of ever existing, and Adomaitis found several other structures he felt were more worthy of consideration. Adomaitis eventually wrote the book *To the Seven Wonders of the World* about his experience, and popularized the topic for the public.

Over time, several other lists of World Wonders were added to the originals.
