New 7 Wonders: What are the Seven Wonders of the World?

By tradition, you should have only 7 wonders. I am not sure that the last one is a real wonder, although I should be flattered, as the main sculptor and the engineer were French and it is the only 20th C wonder in your list. However I think that a lot of historical places would deserve better that this statue to be in the list.

I know that those are the "New 7 wonders of the world". Those monuments have been selected among 200, by the New7Wonders Foundation (Zurich - Switzerland). The monuments were selected through a voting system over the Internet.

On the lighter sides - Why doesnt your list feature me Is it because you too believe in me being anonymous and unknown to the world On the serious sides, I haven't come across the new list that you have. I know about the Egypt, India (we had rigorously voted for that, though I never believed that our voting would have any impact), China, Italy (I have seen this one on many disaster movies in the recent past, I wonder why it was so). I will have to look out for the other ones. Sad that Eiffel tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa are not on the list.

I've heard about all of them but I've only been to the Colosseum. I would like to visit Jordan next! I have a friend who went there last year and he said it was amazing!

@Marcyaz According to me World is itself a wonder .. among the 8 wonders , 7 is existing . So it has been called as seven wonders .

I've heard of all of them, but I like that old stuff... Don't think I'd hold with the last one, not because of the subject, just because it isn't so old...

I only heard of 4 of them like most people but so nice to know they named new ones

I know all of them except for the one in Mexico, since we had many projects involving those in Sociology I would love to go there someday

I saw only one in my life, viz Tajmahal

There is a new list that has been voted online before. Time changed a lot of things on Earth.

Taj Mahal was actually Tejo Mahalya, it was an ancient Temple dedicated to Hindu deity Shiva. According to Shahjahan's history Padshahnama, writer Mullah Abdul Hamid Lahori has mentioned in pages no 402 and 403 that this monument belonged to Jai Singh, and it was forcibly taken by Shahjahan. And that Mumtaz Arjumand Bano Al Jamani (Shahjahan's wife) was buried in Burhanpur Italian writer and traveler Niccolao Manucci, who visited India during the time of Shahjahan and Aurangzeb, he has also mentioned this in his work "Storia do Mogor"; he also mentioned that it was during the period of Aurangzeb when it was described as Mughal building.

I have heard about all of them except two.

I have seen 5 of them--I have never forgotten they impact of seeing the statue of Christ The Redeemer from the Copacabana Beach in Rio!

I have heard of all of them except Chichen Itza. I have only visited the Colosseum, and I would love to visit some of the other places in the future. I think that Angkor Wat should have been one of the 8 wonders.

I have heard of all of them and I have read articles and seen documentaries about them. They were voted several years ago, and I think the millions of people who votedthem to be the new wonders of the world made the right choices. All these marvels, along with many other great sites who were proposed for that list, are on my bucket list, and if I won a prize consisting of a trip to one of these fabulous sites and could choose it, I would go to Machu Picchu. I find all those places fascinating, but Machu Picchu attracts me the most because of its unique location, hidden high up in the Andes, which allowed it to escape from the destructive madness of the European invaders.

I have heard of all the ones you mentioned Marcy. I do seem to recall they were going to add another? But then that would be more than seven I dunno haha

We saw Chichen Itza in Mexico. It was in 1986 and my family and I had traveled to Cancun. We took a site seeing side trip to see that on a tour bus. It was quite amazing.

That is cool..more wonders could be in the world but i never thought that Christ the Redeemer in Brazil could be considered one.

yep ive heard of all of them before, and loved learning about them.
