Seven Wonders of the Modern World
A selection of seven modern wonders that could be said to be the wonders of the modern world.
In the ancient world there were seven great man-made structures that were considered to be the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The wonders of the modern world lie not so much in architecture and sculpture as they do in technology.
A list of seven modern wonders compiled after World War I included:
1. The radio.
2. The telephone. 3. The airplane. 4. Radium. 5. Anesthetics and antitoxins. 6. Spectrum analysis. 7. X rays.
The list seems deficient. It fails to include the automobile, which revolutionized ways of living in the United States, and the techniques of mass production, which made modern industry possible. A list today would undoubtedly include television, atomic energy, and artificial satellites as modern wonders.
Other lists of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World also catalog man-made structures, like the ancient wonders list — such as the Panama Canal, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Channel Tunnel between England and France, the Itaipu Dam in Brazil, and the North Sea Protection Works in the Netherlands — and some natural wonders as well, such as the Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls and the Great Barrier Reef.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate
programs, and the little revenue I get from these is to pay for hosting,
bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
