Remind me, how old is it?

That is funny, although reading the article it looks like they mean wonders still existing in the modern world in a good state of preservation (whereas many of those in Philon of Byzantium’s list of wonders no longer exist).
Tim adds: Yes, I know, had to only use the first line in order to be able to make the joke. -
They may mean those hippy fests that used to go on there. Those certainly were a wonder to behold.

Nice joke but a pedant interested in geology might opine that Stonehenge is almost unbelievably modern. Even the wonderful Malvern Hills are only about 600 million years old…..
