for a person who is not so knowledgeable and suck at world history, my kind of 7 wonders of the world (the ones that i thought in the list) are:-
- Taj Mahal
- The Great Wall of China
- The Great Pyramid of Giza
- Grand Caynon
- The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
- The Roman Colosseum
- The Stoneage
but after doing some googling, i found out the real list and the new updated list of the 7 wonders of the world. it so happen that voting online can help to re-listing the list every year and online users have the right to vote the monuments/places to be included as the new and updated 7 wonders of the world.
history is now in the hand of the online users. what the?!!!!!!
but anywho, here are the lists of the old-original list and the new updated ones taken from here.
The Original Seven Wonders of the World:-
- The Colossus of Rhodes
- The Great Pyramid of Giza
- The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
- The Lighthouse of Alexandria
- The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
- The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
- The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
The New Seven Wonders of the World:-
- Chichen Itza
- Christ Redeemer
- The Great Wall of China
- Machu Picchu
- Petra, Jordan
- The Roman Colosseum
- The Taj Mahal
The Seven Natural Wonders of the World (listed by CNN in 1997):-
- Grand Canyon
- The Great Barrier Reef
- The Harbor at Rio de Janeiro
- Mt. Everest
- Northern Lights
- Paricutin Volcano
- Victoria Falls
and the latest list of The Seven Wonders of the Modern World which i think is irrelevent. i don't think they are regonized by the world organization to be listed as the "Modern World".
i guess, i am going to stick with my not-so-knowledgeable-list. i think they (my list) are generally known as the wonders of the world.
so, Ajlaa Azam, starts saving now!
