Hàng thế kỉ trước ở đất nước Hi Lạp cổ, một người đàn ông với cái tên Antipater ở thành Sidon đã biên soạn một danh sách mà ông nghĩ là bảy kì quan thế giới. Chúng bao gồm Vườn treo Babylon nay ở Iraq, Tượng thần Zues ở Hi Lạp, và Kim tự tháp Cheops ở Ai Cập. Kim tự tháp là kì quan duy nhất ta có thể thấy ngày nay. Nhiều người cho rằng có nhiều kì quan khác mà những người Hi Lạp cổ không hề hay biết. Chúng gồm có Vạn lí trường thành của Trung Quốc, đền Taj Mahal ở Ấn Độ và đền Angkor Watt ở Campuchia.
Angkor Watt đáng lẽ nên được biết đến như một kì quan vì nó là ngôi đền lớn nhất thế giới. Ngôi đền được xây quanh những năm 1100 để tôn vinh Thiên Chúa giáo, nhưng sau đó ba thế kỉ nó đã trở thành khu trung tâm Phật giáo. Khu vực xung quanh ngôi đền, Angkor Thom, từng là thủ đô hoàng gia.
