Some were razed by shaking earth, others felled from fire.

What yet remains some eyes have seen, and others still desire.

From salted rim drink your fill; remember when you're dry

Repositories of such mighty tales stand silently and nigh.

Got sucked into playing "6 degrees of Wikipedia" (instead of work) and this popped in. Probably quite easy, hopefully I didn't end up too vague. Hope you enjoy!

Ruins or the 7 Wonders

Close enough that Gubdude gets it!

7 Wonders of the Ancient World

Some were razed by shaking earth, others felled from fire.

The 6 that are gone were destroyed by earthquake or fires.

What yet remains some eyes have seen, and others still desire.

The Pyramid of Giza is still there - I haven't seen it yet in person, but I want to!

6 are around/near the Mediterranean Sea, Babylon was a little further away.

Repositories of their mighty tales stand silently and nigh.

Lots of information/speculation in books, many artifacts in museums.
