Why are the Pyramids called Wonders of the World?
Mankind is a born traveler and the human family loves to take vacation trips to other places on our planet.

We tend to think that this kind of touring was invented along with trains and buses, planes and automobiles. Not at all. Our ancestors who lived in the earliest settled communities also liked to take trips once in a while. They traveled on horses and camels, donkeys and often on foot to visit neighboring cities.
