Read the passage and answer the question.

Centuries ago in Ancient Greech, a man by the name of Antipater of Sidon compilied a list of what he thought were the seven wonders of the world. The seven included the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in present-day Iraq, The Statue of Zeus in Greece, and the Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. The pyramid is the only wonder you can still see today. Many people claim that there were other wonders, which the ancient Greeks knew nothing about. These include the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal in India and Angkor Watt in Cambodia.

Angkor Watt should really be known as a wonder because it is the largest temple in the world. The temple was built around the year 1100 to honor a Hindu God, but over the next three centuries it became a Buddhist religiour center. The area surrounding the temple, Angkor Thom, used to be the royal capital city.

1. Who compiled a list of seven wonders of the world?

2. Why should Angkor Watt really be known as a wonder?

3. Did Angkor Thom use to be the royal capital city?

4. When was Angkor Watt built?

5. Where is the Gardens of Babylon now?
