Seven Wonders of Yekaterinburg
Description:
The concept of “wonders of the world” was introduced in ancient times by a learned husband – Philo of Alexandria. It is not known for certain why he selected these seven objects, which roamed through encyclopedias until the 19th century.
Was the number seven chosen by chance?
Since ancient times, the number “seven” has had a variety of symbolic uses across cultures.
The number “seven” is magical, this meaning was attributed to the ancient Egyptians.
The ancient Greeks selected the seven best tragic and comic actors each year.
