This one I'm very interested in, especially as I've visited the sites of 4 of the 7 Wonders.

Not that I haven't got enough Entries on my hands at the moment, but I like the sound of this, too - not much needs doing to tidy up the overview Entry and the Temple of Artemis Entry is very interesting to me

Been there!

Thanks for sharing your photos

Made me realise I know less about the Seven Wonders than I thought I did (the Artemis of Temple fame isn't the Artemis I know from Greek Mythology) so if you complete the project, I'll certainly be the sub-editor

It'll be on my list. Ephesian Artemis is a bit different from the classical Greek version - the Greeks and Romans went for the old 'turn the local gods and goddesses into versions of our ones' approach. Historians love arguing over what she has lots of on her chest - breasts, eggs or even testicles.
