You Choose the New Seven Wonders of the World

You have probably heard of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Well in July, a Swiss organization will announce the results of the election to determine the New 7 Wonders of the world.

I found out about this on ETurbo News, which reported on the Egyption government’s refusal to allow the pyramids of Giza into the voting. They are incensed that a Swiss group dare even discuss seven new wonders for the 2200 years since the ancient ones were designated.

On the New7wonders.com site, it said there are about 63 days left to cast your vote. Among the contenders are Russia’s Kremlin, the Statue of Liberty, The Roman Coliseum, the statues at Easter Island, the Sydney Opera House. Others are the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Petra, Jordan, Timbuktu, Mali, the Great Wall of China and Alhambra, in Granada Spain.

It’s funny that the aformentioned pyramids are listed as being ‘honorary New7Wonders candidates…this must be a nod to the angry Egyptions–and the rules state that ‘you cannot vote for the Pyramids of Giza as part of the New7Wonders campaign.’

Vote here, and remember you only get to choose seven.
