Which would you choose as the New Seven Wonders of the World? post #1  quote:



At the end of 2005, the New 7 Wonders Foundation panel chose 21 candidates from the top 77 nominees that had earned the most votes, and these 21 are now in the final stage of the competition to become the New Seven Wonders of the World. The official N7W 21 finalist candidates were announced by the panel's President, Prof. Federico Mayor, on January 1, 2006 in Zurich.

The final round of voting for the New 7 Wonders will continue throughout 2006 and half of 2007. Then, on July 7, 2007 -07.07.07, the dream of the N7W initiators will become a reality as the globe joins together to celebrate the New 7 Wonders of the World, as chosen by the world's population using modern communications technology.

Which ones would you vote for as the New Seven Wonders of the World? If you wish to vote for the seven you want, go to New 7 Wonders to pick your favorite monuments.

Be part of the making of history!

I voted for Machu Picchu. It is amazing that they could build such a city so high up in the mountains.

What decision are you talking about? I don't think you should be online while you're thinking about which pole to pick.
