7 Wonders of the World Revealed

7 Wonders Revealed

http://www.new7wonders.com/


Well the vote is in and the "new" 7 Wonders have been revealed. The voting just recently ended..although the top picks were announced in June. The new list being:


• The Great Wall of China

• Petra in Jordan

• Brazil's statue of Christ the Redeemer

• Peru's Machu Picchu

• Mexico's Chichen Itza pyramid

• The Colosseum in Rome

• India's Taj Mahal


Most of the list seems fair enough, however, (just a personal opinion here), Christ the Redeemer seems a bit out of place. It is a compelling site for sure but to rank it in the class of other architectural marvels of the ancient world seems a little misguided. Stonehenge or the Acropolis may have been a bit more fitting. What do you think? How many of these have YOU been to?
