The New Seven Wonders?

The New Seven Wonders Project is a group who aim to bring attention to the destruction of man-made heritage, and to this end established a large scale web poll in 2000 with the intent of formulating an updated list of seven existing man made wonders, to be announced on New Years Day next year. Revenue from the project is ear-marked, apparently, for various global restoration works, such as the Bamiyan Buddhas destroyed by the Taliban.

Recently they revealed the short list based upon 5 years of votes, which follows in no particular order:

1. Great Wall, China
2. Taj Mahal, India
3. Colosseum, Italy
4. Statues of Easter Island, Chile
5. Eiffel Tower, France
6. Machu Picchu, Peru
7. Kremlin, Russia
8. Alhambra, Spain
9. Angkor Wat, Cambodia
10. Statue of Liberty, USA
11. Hagia Sophia, Turkey
12. Sydney Opera House, Australia
13. Petra, Jordan
14. Timbuktu, Mali
15. Acropolis, Athens, Greece
16. Stonehenge, United Kingdom
17. Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany
18. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
19. Kiyomizu Temple, Japan
20. Christ the Redeemer, Brazil
21. Pyramids of Chichen Itza, Mexico.

These marvals beat out other notable landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Panama Canal and Big Ben in terms of votes.

So, what do you think should have made the list? And which Seven should take it out (from the list or elsewhere)?

The oldest pile of rocks in the world - The Hagar Qim Temples.

I don't know, that's a pretty good list! How about area 51?

I vote for Michigan Stadium. That's huge!

Well, we have two now...One has a ferriswheel and other amusment rides.pizza

Uhh never been to the new one though.....

I meant this one, the largest collegiate stadium in the US:

Oh...that one...I was talking about the one in Detoit, not the college one...and ummmmm haven't been to that one either. 😮

I think that in order to qualify for a wonder of the world, it needs to be an amazing feat constructed by man. Something that not only attracts as an eye candy, but has to be singular in its originality.

Never saw any of those, not even Christ the Redeemer.

How about the Grand Canyon made by god.........It is a pretty cool thing. Not anything else like it in the world....And we have it right here in the US.

as an old wonder i would've said the giant buddha statues in afghanistan but seeing as the taliban blew them up before we blew the taliban up...

as for a modern wonder...i would say the Millau bridge in France

that bridge is beautiful... But I would have to say big ben... Sorry but my pride in my country says I have to vote for anything over france...😛
