Reception and interpretation of Antiquity is an important factor in self-esteem of modern society, a continuous process, being a subject of change from one historical period to another. The list of “Seven wonders of the world”, containing the most significant monuments of the past was compiled already in the ancient Greece. Modern nomenclature of the “Seven Wonders” created by open on-line voting, differs from the ancient list and contains great variety of monuments created by distant cultures. How do we interpret our past? What is the role played by archaeology in collective remembrance of the past or its oblivion? – those are some of the points for study and discussion.
