The New Seven Wonders of the Modern World
In 2007, More Than 100 Million People Voted to Declare the New Seven Wonders of the World. The Following List of Seven Winners is Presented Without Ranking, and Aims to Represent Global Heritage.

The New Seven Wonders of the Modern World:
Great Wall of China
Built Between the 5th Century B.c. And the 16th Century, the Great Wall of China is a Stone-and-earth Fortification Created to Protect the Borders of the Chinese Empire From Invading Mongols. The Great Wall is Actually a Succession of Multiple Walls Spanning Approximately 4,000 Miles, Making It the World's Longest Manmade Structure.

The Roman Colosseum (Rome)
Built Between 70 a.d. And 80 a.d., It Was in Use for Some 500 Years. The Elliptical Structure Sat Nearly 50,000 Spectators, Who Gathered to Watch the Gladiatorial Events as Well as Other Public Spectacles, Including Battle Reenactments, Animal Hunts and Executions. Earthquakes and Stone-robbers Have Left the Colosseum in a State of Ruin, but Portions of the Structure Remain Open to Tourists, and Its Design Still Influences the Construction of Modern-day Amphitheaters, Some 2,000 Years Later.

Christ the Redeemer Statue (Rio De Janeiro)
Christ the Redeemer Statue Has Been Looming Over the Brazilians From Upon Corcovado Mountain in an Awe-inspiring State of Eternal Blessing Since 1931. The 130-foot Reinforced Concrete-and-soapstone Statue Was Designed by Heitor Da Silva Costa and Cost Approximately $250,000 to Build, the Statue Has Become an Easily Recognized Icon for Rio and Brazil.

Machu Picchu (Peru)
Machu Picchu, an Incan City of Sparkling Granite Precariously Perched Between 2 Towering Andean Peaks, is Thought by Scholars to Have Been a Sacred Archaeological Center for the Nearby Incan Capital of Cusco. Built at the Peak of the Incan Empire in the Mid-1400s, This Mountain Citadel Was Later Abandoned by the Incas. The Site Remained Unknown Except to Locals Until 1911, When It Was Rediscovered by Archaeologist Hiram Bingham.

Taj Mahal (Agra, India)
A Mausoleum Commissioned for the Wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the Taj Mahal Was Built Between 1632 and 1648, the White Marble Structure Represents a Number of Architectural Styles, Including Persian, Islamic, Turkish and Indian. The Taj Mahal Also Encompasses Formal Gardens of Raised Pathways, Sunken Flower Beds and a Linear Reflecting Pool.

Chichen Itza (Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico)
The Genius and Adaptability of Mayan Culture Can Be Seen in the Splendid Ruins of Chichen Itza. This Powerful City, a Trading Center for Cloth, Slaves, Honey and Salt, Flourished From Approximately 800 to 1200, and Acted as the Political and Economic Hub of the Mayan Civilization. The Most Familiar Ruin at the Site is El Caracol, a Sophisticated Astronomical Observatory.

Petra (Jordan)
Declared a World Heritage Site in 1985, Petra Was the Capital of the Nabataean Empire of King Aretas the Fourth, the Members of This Civilization Proved to Be Early Experts in Manipulating Water Technology, Constructing Intricate Tunnels and Water Chambers, Which Helped Create an Pseudo-oasis. A Number of Incredible Structures Carved Into Stone, a 4,000-seat Amphitheater and the El-deir Monastery Have Also Helped the Site Earn Its Fame.

Is anyone else here because they're genuinely interested in the source material and aren't doing it for a college or high school class. I'm about to be 26 so I'm too old for school in a way. I'm doing it because I like geography and history and s***

[luisroig]

As you get older stuff like this gets way more interesting.

I've been able to visit all 7 over a period of 40 years, and the Colosseum a second time 40 years after my first visit. Yarmouk University in Jordan took the students of a Summer Arabic Program, of which I was a part, to Petra before it became a big tourist attraction. I spent my 21st birthday at the Taj Mahal. I dreamed of seeing it since I was in kindergarden. At that age my whole vision of India was based on the old black and white movie of The Jungle Book and pictures that I saw of the Taj Mahal in books. Christ Redemptor was my 7th at the age of 60. There are far more wonders of the world, and I've been blessed to have seen 104 of the ones that were under consideration. I don't know how many more I'll see before I die, but I'm still kicking.

It very well could be that in 5-10k years, some archeologists will be explaining Mt. Rushmore to someone like, 'These were the gods they worshiped. And this monument was, of course, a tomb for the ruler at that time. We know this because we found nothing inside of it...."

Brazil is certainly the most beautiful, and one of the most beautiful parents in the world.

Perú is so beautiful, I love this country!

[checkmate]

This is so amazing! Thank you! The Cambodian Angkorian civilization was quite advanced too. Aside from being the largest city in the world at one point, they built the Angkorwat monument, once covered in gold, it is still taller than the current average skyscraper and was larger than most ancient cities. The native Khmers built it in about 30 years. They had a complex irrigation system with a wide array of infrastructures from hospitals to palaces. There’s also a hole from the middle stupa that goes down about 90 ft deep to a chest underground. They were that remarkable. But ongoing war from the expanding Thailand in the west and Vietnam in the East stunted the Khmer empire. Some Khmer royals and elites were imprisoned and taken to Ayuthaya, the Thai kingdoms grew and the Khmer kingdom unfortunately collapsed. Ongoing wars, extractions and genocide left Cambodia in its present state.
