Wonders of the World Trivia — Geography Trivia

This quiz travels from ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean to the Andes, Mexico, and modern Brazil. You will find questions about the classic Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the newer landmarks chosen in a 2007 global vote, and a few sites that rarely come up in pub quizzes. Expect a mix of easy warm-ups, middle-difficulty questions about builders and locations, and a handful of tougher ones about dates and historical details.

Nothing here requires special training, just a willingness to recall what you have read or seen in a documentary. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so even a wrong guess teaches you something. Take your time, trust your first instinct when you are unsure, and find out which rank of traveler you have earned by the final question.
