Which currently non-existant Wonder would you like rebuilt?

[Illusion13]

Personally, I really want to see Hanging Gardens...

Does the Mausolleum still exist? I dont see whats so great about that thing >.>

The Colossus of Rhodes, it must have looked awesome!

Hanging Gardens. They're supposed to have been amazing.

The great lighthouse.... should had been cool

IIRC the only one of the original seven wonders still around is the great pyramid.

That is correct!

The Great Library! How can this even be a question? Howcome I'm the first to say this? What kind of people are you?
The destruction of the Great Library is one of the greatest tragedies in human history. How can any mere building compare to the countless volumes and scrolls containing information from all of the then known world?
Every time I think of the Library, I am saddened by the loss of so much knowledge, gone forever, never to be recovered.

Edit: REreading this, I realize it comes off as unpleasantly preachy. It's just a touchy subject for me. Sorry.

I felt the same way when I heard that Summer wound up marrying Seth in The O.C.

The lighthouse was destroyed in the 14th century by earthquake, i wished it lasted longer...

Hanging gardens, colossus, or lighthouse are ones I really want to see.

Erm the Statue of Zeus was located in Olympia, not the Parthenon ^^ ==> the Parthenon held a statue of Athena, much like this reconstruction in Nashville http://www.nashville.gov/parthenon/Athena.htm.

I believe the Mausoleum was still relatively extant in the Middle Ages, but was brought down by earthquakes and finished as a stone quarry for a nearby Knight Hospitalier castle.

My vote goes to the Temple of Artemis.
