New Seven Wonders of the World?
There has been a lenghty campaign to choose seven new wonders of the world. The old wonders being mainly European, slightly outdated and some slightly no longer existant. I have to say I kind of like the idea of choosing new ones.
You can see the competition and 'finalists' at this website: new 7 wonders People can even vote on line for the monument of their choice. So which would be your personal choice of World Wonders? Feel free to discuss choices or give your reasons for picking a specific monument. These would be mine: 1. Machu Picchu, Peru 2. Piramids of Gizeh, Egypt 3. Aragghiu, Corsica (Pretty much no one knows this site, or finds any importance in it. It's a late bronze-age settlement, or what's left of it. But I have never seen a site that managed to impress me so.) 4. Petra, Jordan 5. Angkor, Cambodia 6. Great Wall, China 7. Atomium, Belgium (heck, if the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty can get nominated, why not this? )
