Seven? There are more numbers than that for sure!

Hi mamu Yes, you have made me to think a lot. I dont think that 7 wonders are picked up from seven continents. For the first time when 7 wonders were picked up, it did not represented 7 continents as among them 2 were from Turkey, Egypt and Greece each and the last one was from Iraq and all of them were from four great civilizations as Greek, Persian, Babylon and Egyptian. It may be because 7 is a sacred number from the point of each religion like us. We have saath phere(the 7 round on marriage), Suraj ka Satwa Ghora(the 7 horses of lord Sun) and many more. Have a nice time.

Resembles 7 continents - read somewhere or learned in school? No Idea, something comes up in the mind, but not clear. You got the laptop for your wife? In fact I commented for that topic and I could not send it, just before completing the discussion, page got hung as there was some program running on the comp and I had to quit all. Then I didn't feel to write again. Is she happy? Hope you enjoyed the Sunday today and have a peaceful night. Thank-s

Don't forget, that in the Holy Bible, God presents seven as the number of completeness, and He is the creator of the universe. On a broader scale, we often see lists like 5 truths about ... or 3 ways to do .... With any such list, an author has assigned a number, but it most likely is not the only number, because seldom is such a list complete.

You didn't know why 7 become famous? -because Seven Eight(EAT) Nine

Hi thesids, May because 7 stands for "LUCKY SEVEN"... By the way, whatever the organizer or the founder of such wonders of the world for sure they have a reasons. Your questioning about such number - if you can observed also as you said the world is very large which consists of many counties - why the organizers of the pageant selecting only 1 + 4 the winners - why say 10 or 20 winners. Their reasons are very un-thinkable. there are many questions of Why happening in real world.

HI Sids, After the brainstorm session, its time for some Coffee. Personllay, if i had to choose any no. I'd go for 7. why? Simple. In my language it is pronounced as 'Eezhu' and if i actually translate, then it says - 'GET UP'/ RISE, so prosper is good to hear which has a positive stride as well. Ok, i also did some search and here is another set of explanations: Practical explanation: (Mathematical) Any number between zero and twelve has at least fifty connections that make it significant; seven is only one of a dozen that have multiple meanings. The seventh power of any number is both a square and a cube; seven metals used in alchemic "the Work"; and seven is conveniently both 3 and 4, which allows one to include those plenary meanings. Seasonal and natural reason: You asked about the number 7. I think it stems from observation of natural events and cycles in nature. There are 4 seasons, 28 days in each moon cycle, so 4 into 28 goes 7, hence 7 is a mystical and important number. It's probably as good an explanation as any as to why it's so important! You might also like to ponder on the Plough (Ursa Major) with its 7 bright stars going round the Polar Star. Spiritual significance & Numerology : 7 is the sacred spiritual number – 'the energy of the mystics'. The 7 vibration represents a special function of human life. It indicates the amount of learning one must amass, in the form of personal experiences known as 'sacrifices'. The first cycle of 7 deals with the physical process. The second cycle from ages 7 to 14 is marked by the development of feelings and emotions. The third cycle from ages 14 to 21 focuses on the spiritual energy. This is with the 'light of spirit' begins to dawn into a maturing consciousness. Time for another coffee... Take care

Perhaps the creator of the list could only count up to seven ... or got too tired trying to track down all the wonders that he or she just gave up after finding seven and figured that was a good place to stop.

Hmmm..you also made me wonder buddy,lol! Well,I think it is 7 because 7 is the luckiest number and we are lucky to have the 7 wonders of the world,hehe! Does it makes sense,ngek!

Number 7 is used in many cases so that people just choose 7 as the common number for the others thing also.

As someone mentioned, in the Bible 7 is the number of completeness. I suspect one reason for this is that in Genesis we are told that God made the heavens and the earth in six days "and on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done and he rested.... from all his work he had done in creation." So creation was complete in seven days, thus seven is a number representing completeness. It's also the number of days in a complete week. As for the rainbow, God also created it and determined its colors. Only artists can add more by making pictures from their imaginations. But when it's raining and you see the bow in the sky, it will have the seven basic colors as they blend into each other.

Hi godson, It's really difficult to shed some light on this as this seven wonders and all things related to seven are a mystery. All I know is that the number seven is considered a lucky number. I don't have an udea how it was considered the lucky one, of all the numbers that we can use. If you research more about the number seven, you will find out that this number was mentioned many times in the Bible. And that it took 7 years before the temple in Jerusalem was built. Apart from that number being mentioned in the bible, I have read that Ancient Greeks considered it a perfect number. Arabs were said to built seven holy temples, while Goths and Japanese worshipped seven Gods. Amazing yet mind-boggling!

Personally i think that there is a story behind the number of 7. I love the number too, however i also failed to find a reasonable reason for this. Sure its a better number than other, could be special.

Hello Sid, you are thinking more and more. Let me get some brain of you to think, lol. Honestly I don't know the answer. Let me guess something here. It would be some display made in the place where they worshipped as God. It would be converted to such things as seven wonder, seven world like that.

I have no idea too? Maybe because the number 7 is considered a lucky number by many since who knows what age. Maybe even the medival age. hahahahaha. Its mostly impossible to ascertain why only 7 but maybe... i have no idea. You can use your imagination and accept things as it is. Some things are just moved by trend and fashions

Sids Odd that you write this discussion. Just yesterday I had a conversation at work with one of my customers about the number 7. The weirdest thing happened. I was working the cash register as I've done for years. All of a sudden Pump # 7 lit up as if there was a gas sale on it. There was no sale on it. There could be no sale on it. Why? We only have 4 gas pumps. There has never been a pump #7. I tried everything to remove the "sale". I told this customer and she told me that it meant that Jesus was looking over me. We then got to discussing the number 7. I once read up on the numbers 3,7, and 12...They all seem to be pretty significant. 7 days in a week, 12 months in a year. 12 numbers on the clok. , 12 inches.
