Who chose the seven wonders of the world?
Originally Answered: Who decided which were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

Antipater of Sidon and Philo of Byzantium, writing in the 2nd century BC, are among the first to compile lists of seven such places. Seven appears to have been a convenient number for other authors, so many repeated their pattern.
