I wanted to do that for a long time. All 29 wonders sorted by what civilisation built them, when (approximately) and in what era are they in game. If I was unsure who the wonder "belongs to", I have marked it this way.

Great Pyramids - Egypt - 2580 BC
Hanging Gardens - Babylon - probably 7th century BC
Oracle - Greece - 6th century BC

Colossus of Rhodes - Greece - 3rd century BC
Terracotta Army - China - 3rd century BC
Colosseum - Rome - 80 AD

MEDIEVAL ERA
Haghia Sophia - Byzantium - 537 AD
Mont St. Michael - France - 8th century AD
Chichen Itza - Maya - 9th century AD?

Notes to particular wonders and their potential controversies
Spoiler :

Hanging Gardens - not sure if they even existed :p
Oracle - either I don't understand something or it wasn't architectural thing???
Petra - I marked it as "Arabian" wonder because Nabateans were pre-Islamic Arab people
Great Lighthouse and Library are marked as Hellenist wonders as I decided they aren't pure creation of either Greece or Egypt, not sure though
Alhambra - I marked it as "Arabian" wonder because Moorish civilisation in al-Andalus was, if not "Arab", then enough heavily based on Arabian civilisation, language, culture and early Islamic empire to justify that classification
Hermitage - was seen and confirmed on 22th September gameplay


Observations:
I have no idea why Oxford, Zimbabwe and Arsenal are in so inappropriate eras.

Civilisations by number of wonders
4 - Greece (with two Hellenist)
3 - Egypt (with two Hellenist)
2 - China, Brazil, England, France, Arabia (Moors+Nabateans)
1 - Rome, Germany, Russia, India, Aztec, Babylon, Tibet, Zimbabwe, Venice, Australia, Maya, Byzantium

Playable civs without wonders: Kongo, Scythia, Sumer, Poland, Norway, Spain, Japan
Notable wonders missing: Machu Picchu, Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat :(
 
Are you sure it isn't Russian "national wonder" like Great Wall and Sphinx?

Kongo can build it and it is listed under Wonders (so is not an improvement like those two):
