Make a review first for yourself about the New 7 Wonders of the World...do you have now the list? here comes the world chosen... Two thousand years on, the Seven Wonders of the World are chosen again-this time through a global poll. The original Seven Wonders were chosen by Antipater of Sidon, who drew on the authority of such learned travellers as Herodotus and Callimachus. The list included the Colossus of Rhodes and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and were found only around the Mediterrenean, the limits of the Western World. Four Wonders were destroyed in earthquakes and two in fires. Few can list them today. To find their modern successors, 21 finalists were drawn up from submissions. The winning list was revealed in Lisbon, Portugal, on Saturday July 7. The ranking of the top seven wonders is kept secret. 1. The Great Wall of China 2. Rome's Colosseum 3. India's Taj Mahal 4. Peru's Machu Picchu 5. Brazil's Statue of Christ Redeemer 6. Mexico's Chicken Itza Pyramid 7. Jordan's Petra Got them correctly?
