    New 7 Wonders of the World

    http://www.new7wonders.com/

    I voted for:

    Acropolis
    Angkor Watt
    Petra
    Taj Mahal
    Stonehenge
    Great Wall of China
    Macchu Piccu

    Can't believe the Angel of the North wasn't among the contenders

    If we are showing off I've been to 5 of the 7, I'd squeeze the Colliseum in somewhere.

      Where is the acropolis of egypt (luxor) in this vote?

      Valley of the kings, queens , nobles, artisans, temple of hetshepsut, Ramusium, Karnak temple.
      I remember the good old days of this site when people used to moan about serious contractor related issues like house prices and immigration. How times have changed!?

        How can Stonehenge and the Pyramids be new 7 wonders since they are from the ancient world?

        I would put the channel tunnel as a wonder of the modern world.

          If we are going to have 7 new wonders of the world would it not be better if they were actually new.

          No mention of the Channel Tunnel which while it may be heavily in debt is still an incredible feat of engineering.

          Hows about the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

          The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (speaking of which hows about the Tram Network in San Francisco - built buy a British man of course )


          Surely we could come up with 7 New Wonders of the World

            or this...

            I like bridges.

              Eiffel tower, FFS!

              Pyramids of Giza should be on the list because they were on the old list.

                    I think the interweb is a wonder of the modern world.


                    How many hammers does it take to build stonehenge and is it worthwhile ?
