The Colossus stood for only 54 years before felled by an earthquake and eventually all the bronze and iron melted down in the true spirit of recycling.

The mausoleum stood near modern day Bodrun, Turkey sometime in the 13th century until it became the victim of an earthquake.

Damaged by a series of quakes (starting to see a theme here?), the lighthouse survived until the 1300s when it was finally totally toppled.

Built with gold, silver, ivory, and precious stones, the statue, and indeed the temple that housed it are long gone at the site of the original Olympics at Olympia.

Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, this is the only one which not a single scrap of it has been discovered. In fact, it is questioned whether it ever truly existed.

All that remains today at its former site near Selçuk, Turkey, is a single column of its original 127.

The only surviving (and oldest) Wonder, the Great Pyramid was the tallest manmade structure until 1311 when it was outdone by the spire of Lincoln Cathedral.
