The Story

Here's the website http://www.new7wonders.com/

I don't like some of these selections but meh.

especially seeing how the great pyramids of Egypt were once a wonder and now not...

[Shan]

I'd want to go see some of those places, boo! =(

[Mantra-Slider]

the pyramids will always be one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.

[Superted]

There are many lists of 7 wonders out there including modern & natural ones, but as Mantra said the pyramids will always be on the 7 ancient wonders list.

A couple of the new ones don't exactly fill me with 'wonder'

Actually, the Pyramids were on the list, but Egypte objected and the organisation decided to already declare them a world wonder and have you vote for 7 others. So the Pyramids are still a world wonder.

Besides, the unfairness is that some of the stuff on the list lies in countries were like 1% has internet, so they hardly stand a chance opposed to China or Italy etc.

I must be out of touch because I haven't even heard of 3 of those choices (although the Petra looks very similar to the ruins in the 3rd Indiana Jones movie). And is it me or does "Christ Redeemer" sounds like some kind of lame sword in a Christian RPG?

[Nickname]

i prefer the 7 'natural' wonders of the world.

OR

the 7 wonders of the world (that still exsist, no babylon gardens pls)

[kthx]

That temple in Petra looks like where Indiana Jones found the Holy Grain. Whomever put that on the top 7 chose "wisely"

[Epinephrine]

That IS where they filmed Indy 3.

That probably was the prevailing theory on their construction when you went to school Eph. Today it's widely believed that slave labour was not used.

[Cops]

I totally called Machu Picchu before I clicked on the link, it's kind of sad that it's getting ruined.

Hot weather, big rocks, and you have a crap load of slaves who you decide aren't fit to push big rocks in the hot sun all day? <_<

[Mantra-Slider]

I voted for Chichén Itzá, The Great Wall, Machu Picchu (def. going there, so fucking awesome!), Petra (wanna go here too, old gf has been there, really nice and cool place) and The Taj Mahal myself.

Kolar, find me a theory who says that there was no slave labour involved with the construction of the great wall.

If I were a slave and put my entire life into building something, I'd like to see it added as a wonder of the world.
