I voted. I chose Angkor, Christ Redeemer, Easter Island, Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Petra and Stonehenge. I must admit I thought there were some weird ones on the list. I mean the Taj Mahal, Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower and Sydney Opera House are all very impressive but are they wonders? Are they really on the same scale as the Pyramids and Stonehenge? I can't really think of any others to add to the list. In fact I think the inclusion of some of the ones I mentioned shows that whoever compiled the list was struggling a bit as well!
