    Did you participate in the vote, sister?

    I quite like all the choices made - they certainly represent many different cultures, ages and continents.

    I agree that there are many amazing and fantastic places in this world, but only 7 could be chosen ...

    I wonder (pun not intended ) why the 7 Wonders of the World have to be man-made? What about natural wonders?

    Re: New 7 Wonders of the world

    Lol yes....the giza is the only one left that still exist today.

    The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
    The Great Pyramid of Giza
    The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
    The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
    The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
    The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
    The Colossus of Rhodes
    The Pharos of Alexandria

    Reason why egypt pulled out
    Some in Egypt see it as competition to the status of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only surviving monument of the original Ancient Wonders. "This is probably a conspiracy against Egypt, its civilization and monuments," wrote editorialist Al-Sayed al-Naggar in a leading state-owned daily.[8] Egyptian Culture Minister Farouq Hosni said the project was "absurd" and described its creator, Weber, as a man "concerned primarily with self-promotion".[8] Nagib Amin, an Egyptian expert on World Heritage Sites, has pointed out that "in addition to the commercial aspect, the vote has no scientific basis."[8]

    After the complaints from Egypt, the pyramid was given special status and removed from the voting list. From the Web site: "The New7Wonders Foundation designates the Pyramids of Giza — the only remaining of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World — as an Honorary New7Wonders Candidate, and removed it from the voting."[9]

    In Brazil there was a campaign Vote no Cristo (Vote for the Christ) which had the support of private companies, namely telecommunications operators, that stopped charging voters.

    JazakAllah for the info

    Re: New 7 Wonders of the ancient world

    These are the seven wonders of the ancient world:

    SevenWondersOfTheWorld - New 7 Wonders of the world

    • The Great Pyramid of Giza
    • The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
    • The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
    • The Temple of Artemis at Epheus
    • The Mausoleum at Hallicarnassus
    • The Colossus of Rhodes
    • The Lighthouse of Alexandria

    See http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/list.html

    The historian Herodotus (484 BC–ca. 425 BC), and the scholar Callimachus of Cyrene (ca 305–240 BC) at the Museum of Alexandria, made early lists of "seven wonders" but their writings have not survived, except as references. The earliest extant version of a list of seven wonders was compiled by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures in a poem around 140 BC:

    I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the Colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, 'Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand.'

    – Antipater, Greek Anthology IX.58

    Re: New 7 Wonders of the world

    Well the best and greatest wonder of the world that should be at the top of the list is none other than the holy Ka'bah in makkatul mukaramh don't u think so.I mean it is ancient after Ibrahim(as) built more 1000 years ago.

    Re: New 7 Wonders of the world

    ^ that totaly makes sense sis. Maybe they haven't added it there because it is a place of worshipp and is sacred and so should not be presented in this way. But i would love to know the real reason why it isn't there?

    Re: New 7 Wonders of the world

    Assalamoalaikum Bro,

    Wouldn't it be nice if u added some history on the old and new wonders of the world? I mean if u have time.

    BTW, why do we need to reselect the wonders of the world, why can't we have just the same 7 all along.

    I tend to like the wonders presented, though they would be infinitely improved were they to include:
