        abstract = {This paper provides a comparative analysis of the Ancient and Modern Seven Wonders of the World. It examines the origins, purposes, selection processes, and geographical scope of both lists. The analysis shows a major shift: the idea of a "world wonder" has changed from a Greek-centered list of grand monuments to a global celebration of human cultures. The paper also discusses criticisms of both lists. It concludes that these lists reflect a broader shift in how human society defines its own greatest achievements, moving from a regional and elite-focused perspective to a global and democratic one.},
