Philo of Byzantium's _On the Seven Wonders_ (225 BCE) is the first known list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (though it may have been based on earlier works now lost). Philo's list differs from the standard Seven Wonders in replacing the Lighthouse at Alexandria with the Walls of Babylon. * * * _This is a companion discussion topic for the original article at [https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2257/philo-of-byzantiums-on-the-seven-wonders/](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2257/philo-of-byzantiums-on-the-seven-wonders/)._ * * * **Join the Conversation** - What surprised you most in this article? - Have you come across a different take on this topic? - What would you like to know more about?
