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.

ANCIENT ERA
Stonehenge - prehistoric peoples - 3100 BC
Great Pyramids - Egypt - 2580 BC
Hanging Gardens - Babylon - probably 7th century BC
Oracle - Greece - 6th century BC

CLASSICAL ERA
Petra - Arabia(Nabateans) - ???
Mahabodhi Temple - India - 5th century BC???
Great Lighthouse - Hellenist (Greece/Egypt) - 3rd century BC
Great Library - Hellenist (Greece/Egypt) - 3rd 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?
Alhambra - Arabia (Moors) - 13th century AD
Huey Teocalli - Aztec - 14th century AD

RENAISSANCE ERA
Great Zimbabwe - Zimbabwe - 11th century AD (wtf)
Venetian Arsenal - Venice (Italy) - 1320 AD
Forbidden City - China - 1420 AD
Potala Palace - Tibet - 1645 AD

ATOMIC ERA
Maracanã Stadium - Brazil - 1950 AD
Sydney Opera House - Australia - 1973 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 :(
