New 7 Wonders of the World

[boybi]

Vote for the New 7 Wonders of the World.

The multimedia campaign to choose the New 7 Wonders of the World is in its final stage.

This is the biggest global vote ever to have taken place. Millions of people have already voted for their favorite "wonder." Numerous milestones have already been reached on a journey across the Internet, television and the world's media. This journey will reach its pinnacle on July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07, when the world will discover which monuments have been named as the New 7 Wonders of the World.

On January 1, 2006, the New7Wonder Panel of Experts, chaired by the former head of UNESCO, Prof. Dr. Federico Mayor, short-listed those nominations with the most votes received by the end of 2005. The top 77 choices have been narrowed down to just 21 finalists, which are the focus for the final year of voting.

On 07.07.07, the world will learn which of the Earth's treasures will stand in history alongside the Ancient 7 Wonders of the World.

The Bamiyan Buddhas, the tallest buddha statues, could have been a very good candidate if they were not detonated by the taliban

Petra, Jordan.

I've been in this place last year. It's really amazing. Part of the Indiana Jones film was shot here.

banawe rice terraces are not properly maintained, there are govt support in papers however in reality malaki na siguro yung 1% of the said budget ang napupunta sa preservation...

there are many good ancient house, great structures, artifact, here in the philippines, thing is, rich mogols buy them and sold them abroad to foreigner collectors for a big sum=)

Arghh... sorry bud, but that's another one of "local false proclamation" claims that they teach in school... The Banawe Rice terraces isn't unique, it isn't even the oldest or largest in SOUTH EAST ASIA, let alone other parts of Asia.

Parang florescent lamp claim din to eh, nagimbento ng "8th wonder" ang unreliable source na walang official say sa subject matter. Heck, WWE's Chyna is the "9th wonder" diba hehe.

Funny why they included the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty, they are landmarks, but hardly considered as "wonders"...

Mamichula: Building a wall that long with such significant historical records is over-rated? Maybe as a tourist site, but not its significance, which is what they're basing these votings on...

Oh I see.. I just din't find anything extra ordinary about its history because there are other fortifications that have been built to keep enemies at bay just not this big ... hmm except that its also a mass grave well that one's kinda interesting...

Oh isn't this based on popularity? Because votes were made through sms, email , phone calls etc. Can we really be sure that all of those who voted are well aware of the historical significance of the wonders? Hmmm just a thought.. BUt I agree that it should be based on historical significance..
then again its just my opinion and I respect yours unanimity of opinion belongs to the graveyard, differences in opinion is a sign of a good discussion
