 * SEVEN WONDERS of the WORLD **

TASK: A wealthy investor has commissioned you to search the records of ancient times and report back to him with all the knowledge you found about the 7 ancient wonders, including a map to these miraculous places. If you succeed, you will be handsomely rewarded with riches from the investor’s treasures of antiquity.

1. Create a ** Google Slide ** and work with your assigned partner to complete a PRESENTATION. List the wonder, where it is located (a map would be nice) and answer the following questions about the specific wonder: Who were the kings, queens, or governing body that ruled the land when each ancient wonder was constructed? If it took so long to build that there were a few chiefs, just tell the one in charge at the start or finish.
 * 2. Create at LEAST one slide with each of the seven wonders. **


 * 3. ALSO Include the answers to at ** LEAST FIVE ** of these questions: **
