In the second century BC, the Greek historian Antipater wrote a list of the seven greatest wonders of the ancient world; of these, only the Great Pyramid has survived. Sometimes however, civilizations can be rediscovered - and this is what happened when Borobudur, often called the eighth wonder of the world, was found again in the jungles of Java, south - east Asia.
It was in 1814 that Thomas Raffles became Governor of the island of Java. Unlike many other Europeans, he was interested in the history of the country and spent his time collecting as much information as he could.
In 1815, Thomas Raffles set off with a small party to see what he could find. They traveled for many weeks, and finally arrived at the site of Borobudur. Raffles was astonished by what he found. In front of him, almost covered by the plants and tall trees of the jungle, was one of the most magnificent buildings he had ever seen.

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.

Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some training as a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies. In another of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In 1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies. Through this experience he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions, especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the American states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United States.
