It is often a surprise to people to learn that not all the Seven Wonders existed at the same time. Even if you lived in ancient times you would have still needed a time machine to see all seven. While the Great Pyramid of Giza was built centuries before the rest and is still around today (it is the only "wonder" still intact) most of the others only survived a few hundred years or less.
