Seven Wonders of the World: Ancient and New

Since the ancient Greeks named the Seven Wonders of World more than 2 millennia ago, with the exception of the Pyramids, they are all gone. People across the globe have enjoyed debating which are currently the most remarkable of Earth's many spectacular sites. Bernard Weber set out to name the "New 7 Wonders of the World" in 1999. Almost 200 sites around the world were selected, 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 These images, presented in high resolution, represent those choices and some additional views of other spectacular sites.
