Step 1:
Find five architectural/monumental masterpieces which you believe are magnificent structures.
Create five passport entries describing (4–5 sentences) each of your "wonders of the ancient and modern world." Include a picture of each "wonder." Utilize the sample passport provided to help you create your own passport. Of these five wonders:
Three entries must be from "ancient" times, which is before the Fall of Rome (476 CE).
Two entries can be from any point in history.
Be sure to include the approximate date built in your research findings.
Don't forget to cite the academic sources for your images and research!
Nota Bene: You can use the three wonders from the sample passport as an example, but your submitted work must contain research on different monuments of your choosing.
