Wonders of the World

Since the ancient Greeks first established the Seven Wonders of World more than 2,000 years ago, people across the globe have enjoyed debating which are the most remarkable of Earth's many spectacular sites. In this spirit, Swiss adventurer Bernard Weber set out to name the "New 7 Wonders of the World" in 1999. Almost 200 sites around the world were nominated, and the list was then narrowed to 21. One of these, the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the sole original Wonder of the Ancient World to survive, was named an honorary wonder. Seven more of the remaining 20 were chosen by worldwide vote, via internet and phone polling, and announced on July 7, 2007. Click here to see the winners! >>
