My favourite sequence of wonders is–
I cottage up the capital and only build wonders by using the GEs that will keep popping, setting up different cities for different GP types. The capital gets Great Library through an engineer, and slowly goes from popping GEs to GSs; with it cottaged and Beauracracied, it's a research powerhouse, while the rest of my economy goes SE style. If I have access to stone I may put Stonehenge in the religious city but it isn't a high priority–chopping to Oracle is the most important thing. Once you have the Oracle done and the Forge online, you don't have to put hammers into Pyramids, so you can just spend on expansion or an axemen horde instead–meaning that you aren't SOL if someone else builds Pyramids and you have to go capture them.
Oracle in my second (hopefully Holy City) city->pick up Metal Casting;
Forge in my capital->farm a Great Engineer for free Pyramids, in my capital
Meanwhile tech through Alphabet to CoL and then Civil Service, to go Representation-Beauracracy-Caste System.
