The new seven wonders of the world
heard this.
That there having the new 7 Wonders of the world. Here are the 21 finalists. Acropolis, Greece Alhambra, Spain Angkor Wat, Cambodia Chichen Itza, Mexico Christ The redeemer, Rio de Janeiro Colosseum, Rome Easter Island Eifell Tower, Paris Great wall of china Hagia Sophia, Istanbul Kiyomizu, Japan Red Square, Moscow Machu Picchu, Peru Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany Pettra, Lebanon Pyramid of giza Statue Of liberty Stonehedge Sydney Opera House Taj Mahal Timbuktu, libya Which 7 would you pick? |
Why isn't Fr- never mind. Of the choices listed, not all of which I was familiar with, unfortunately, I'd select these:
Acropolis, Greece Angkor Wat, Cambodia Colosseum, Rome Easter Island Great wall of china Stonehedge Taj Mahal I think the Giza pyramid is already considered a world wonder. I would have also included the Aztec pyramids as a finalist. |
I Heard that that they want to again.
Who else votes. |
I liked the old seven... plus, I don't want to have to memorize another seven!!! Wahh!
Though, I'd not pick the Statue of Liberty, not because of what it stands for, but structurally it's not that fantastic. I mean, think of the Colossus of Rhodes - that's considered a "wonder", but they also built it (if I'm not mistaken) hundreds of years before the Statue of Liberty, using entirely different building methods. Anymore, even such a large structure is quite commonplace, especially whenever it wasn't built using dirt mounds and an entire lack of semi-modern machinery. I dunno... it seems to me like a "wonder" should be something that seems to defy the laws of physics or human capacity during its creation/existence. Thus, I'd vote for Stonehenge, because that was built using (if historians are correct) nothing but man power and simple machines. |
Well, Who else is voting?

They don't ruin the fun these 7 wonders lasted for a long time for now.

Um... I was talking about them ruining the fun by not believing in aliens.
