The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (from left to right, top to bottom): Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum of Maussollos, Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

What marks off the medieval period, especially, is the prevailing disorder and instability as compared to the "peace and tranquillity" with which the earlier Heian Period had been identified, and the stable rule of the Tokugawa, who brought unity and lasting peace to Japan at the end of the sixteenth century.
