when I was younger I was fascinated about the ancient world wonders! yeah! so cool to read the histories about mausoleums, big statues, pyramids... all that!
Now.. some months ago an international NGO (I don't know who maybe UNESCO and some others) started a global project about choosing the new 7 wonders of the world! and is amazing all the cool places that are on the list!
The process was more and less like this... they searched for places around the world, the dismissed a lot of places (with more than 19 million of votes) and at the end they got 21 places. Now "the world citizens" must choose 7 new wonders from those 21. very cool!
I'm just Wondering... how the world can choose this? first you must pay for it, part of the money is going to the restoration of new places... I don't know the rest.. second, what about some other wonderful places that are more important than those in the 21 list... For example... Cappadocia-Turkey, Khajuraho Temples-India, Efesus- turkey, Pisa Tower-Italy, Golden-Temple-India and many others... but what the hell the Statue of Liberty, USA, Is doing there??
Well is my personal opinion of course.Any way, this is a chance for giving an opinion about all this,
As I said before you can vote or just share your opinions in the more ideas section of this post!!
By the way don't forget to tell us your new 7 wonders, and if you have another one to put n the list, do it as well!
THE NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD

The 21 finalists were selected of hundreds of nominations proposed by over 19 million votes worldwide, and they are:
- Acropolis, Athens, Greece
- Alhambra, Granada, Spain
- Angkor, Cambodia
- Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico
- Christ Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Colosseum, Rome, Italy
- Easter Island Statues, Chile
- Eiffel Tower, Paris, France
- Great Wall, China
- Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey
- Kyomizu Temple, Kyoto, Japan
