We are all curious when it comes to the Wonders of the World
except my friend, Roger Fundab, who isn’t fascinated in anything but hunting and fishing.
I’ve tried to get Roger fascinated by sending him to: [http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/other.html] where all of the wonders are listed as I’ve shown below.
At: [http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/other.html] you may click on any of these wonders and learn what there is to know regarding them. I’ll leave that procedure up to you.
Roger said he had no interest in Wonders, yet I learned that he
actually has his own list tacked to the wall above his bunk at the Drake Lake Advanced Hunters Club. I’ve added it to the end of the Official Wonder Lists.

Good price, excellent quality By James Diamond Awesome map, HUGE and fancy looking. And my goodness can you find this thing for cheap! Highly satisfied with this map. Nail it in with some small gold colored nails and it looks absolutely stunning up on the wall.

Beautiful Wall Map! By anobscurelife I was so pleased with this product! It came in a nice tube and packaged very beautifully. I had no problem getting the map out of the tube and once it was on my wall, it layed flat and was breath taking! I got this as a birthday present for my husband and I was worried about how it would make our bedroom look but I am so glad I bought it because it truly is beautiful! I really suggest if you are going to buy a wall map that you pick this one! It was all in one piece so there wasn’t any kind of positioning it together. We took some thumbtacks and just placed it on the wall! Great product!
