In this task you are to type a text, set its format, create a table, and insert images

1. Type the following text:

Seven Wonders of The World
The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World can be traced back to the fifth century B.C. when Greek historian Herodotus marvelled about some of the Wonders. These creations rivaled many created by nature in their size, majesty, and beauty. Six of the seven wonders no longer stand, having been destroyed by natural disaster or by humans. The only Wonder still standing and the oldest one is the The Great Pyramid of Giza also known as the Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops) in Egypt.
Although it has been argued that other ancient wonders of comparable regard such as the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Aztec Temple in Tenochtitlan in Mexico should have been mentioned, these may not have been known about by the Greeks who first proposed Wonders for the list.
