I think some of these can be used as Edenian stages.

Various lists of the Wonders of the World have been compiled from antiquity to the present day, to catalogue the world's most spectacular natural wonders and manmade structures.
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World is the first known list of the most remarkable creations of classical antiquity; it was based on guidebooks popular among Hellenic sightseers and only includes works located around the Mediterranean rim. The number seven was chosen because the Greeks believed it represented perfection and plenty, and because it was the number of the five planets known anciently, plus the sun and moon. Many similar lists have been made.
The classic seven wonders were:
Great Pyramid of Giza
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Colossus of Rhodes
Lighthouse of Alexandria
The earliest lists had the Ishtar Gate as the seventh wonder of the world instead of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. The list known today was compiled in the Middle Ages—by which time many of the sites were no longer in existence. Today, the only ancient world wonder that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Ishtar Gate
Lists from other eras
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, some writers wrote their own lists with names such as Wonders of the Middle Ages, Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, Seven Wonders of the Medieval Mind, and Architectural Wonders of the Middle Ages. However it is unlikely that these lists originated in the Middle Ages because the word medieval was not invented until the Enlightenment-era, and the concept of a Middle Age did not become popular until the 16th century. Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable refers to them as "later list[s]" suggesting the lists were created after the Middle Ages.
Many of the structures on these lists were built much earlier than the Medieval Ages, but were well known.
Typically representative are:
Stonehenge
Colosseum
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Great Wall of China
Porcelain Tower of Nanjing
Hagia Sophia
(NOT INCLUDED FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES)
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Other sites sometimes included on such lists:
Taj Mahal
Cairo Citadel
(NOT INCLUDED FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES)
Ely Cathedral
(NOT INCLUDED FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES)
Cluny Abbey

Cyrax, the idea of having stuff like this in Endina isn't bad. Giant structures wouldn't hurt.
But we already HAVE the collusem, by name!
Sorry for that bad spelling.

Giant structures (sites) would look amazing with a red full moon and northern lights (sky)

Well, we had a "Pit" and a "Pit (Day)".
At the same time, Northern Lights and a Red Moon would look kinda weird, but have a "Night" Version, with the red moon, and a "day" version, with the lights, and bam!
You know what would be kinda cool, at least for a little while, Classic Stages, by this I mean, they take the sprites from an Old game, MK1-UMK3, Make the sprites look 3-D (Megaman Powered Up could do it, a PSP game!) and it would look kinda cool, just wondering if anyone thinks that way.
