You have been admitted as members of the Seven Wonders Archaeological Gentlemen Society. We are the oldest and most prestigious group devoted to studying and preserving the Seven Wonders. Our members are gentlemen of the highest personal qualities from all over the world. We have been impressed by your résumés and we are hopeful that your expertise will help us shed light on the recent disturbing rumors. They claim that there is a secret eighth wonder, one that outshines them all.

The number seven was chosen because it represents perfection and plenty, it was the number of the five planets known when the Society was established in the 2nd century BC, plus the sun and moon. Is it possible that we have not noticed the evidence of an eight wonder for more than two millennia? Our scientific prestige is in danger and we desperately need your help.

It is of utmost importance to unravel this mystery before anyone else does. Our funds and artifacts in our collections are fully at your disposal. Remember to proceed in secrecy and keep me up to date about your progress. Good luck!

Stevie Wonder
President of the Seven Wonders Archaeological Gentlemen Society
