Of these, [[MonumentalDamage only The Great Pyramid still stands today]]. The Ishtar Gate was excavated in 1902 and has been partially rebuilt at the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.

It's not rare in fiction (or RealLife) for something to be declared great by being given the title of "Eight Wonder of the World", though if one were to get technical, with the Ishtar Gate, the Eight spot is already taken by the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Also note that the lists did not give an order to each wonder, there is no first or second place.

There are many other examples. In fact, making up Lists of Seven Wonders of (whatever) with real or fictional items, is popular in itself. Many groups and organizations have formed lists of Seven Wonders of the Medieval/Modern/Natural world, though none of them are held as "official" the way the list of Wonders of the Ancient World is. TheOtherWiki has a compilation of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Wonders_of_the_Modern_World various famous lists of wonders]].
