The Great Pyramid (at Giza) provides the ideal finale for the Seven Wonders suite.

It is the first and only survivor of the historical Seven Wonders (now thought to have been built around 20,000 years ago and within its structure it contains all of the mathematical, astronomical and architectural knowledge of the earliest civilisation. To this day, the knowledge inherent in this great and mysterious work of art, is still fundamental to our present civilisation and to all of the other great civilisations that preceded it and gave rise to the Wonders of the Ancient World. It stands as a an eternal monument to Man's spiritual aspirations from the earliest of times. One of the later discoveries, from an aerial photograph of the Great Pyramid, shows that the south face has a mysterious hollowing effect which was planned by the original builders. This effect would have given an 'equinox flash' at sunrise on the winter solstice, the 21st of December. When the Pyramid was still covered with white reflecting limestone, this flash would have pinpointed the solstice accurately as the Sun turned around to begin its new ascension of the skies.

It is a coincidence that the composer, Stuart Mitchell has his birthday on the day of the solstice, the 21st of December. As the ‘finale' closes the suite, it also closes the circle and the Seven Wonders returns to its roots in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Perhaps this coincidence indicates a new beginning and heralds a new age of Man's spiritual aspirations for the 21st century.
