7 Wonders of the World

Question: How many of you know what the 7 Wonders of the World are?

Okay, some of you may have gotten correct and some of you may not have.

Here’s my next question: How many of you know what the 7 Wonders of the world will be as of 07/07/07?

If you tried to guess, chances are you’re incorrect. Technically, no one knows, but maybe a few committee members. On July 7^th, 2007, the 7 Wonders of the World will be announced in Lisbon, Portugal.

This n7w website will give you the opportunity to vote for what you believe should be the new 7 Wonders of the World.

Whether you care about which 7 spectacles make it in the final selection or not, it still would be cool to do a little background study on each of these places and come to understand the rich history within and what drove each civilization to build these structures.

Here are two must visit websites for information on these wonders:

• 7 Wonders of the World
• All World Wonders

Of the 68 wonders listed on the second site, I’ve visited 7.

• Empire State Building
• Statue of Liberty
• Sydney Opera House
• Taj Mahal
• Red Fort
• Panama Canal
• The Petronas Towers

Considering, it’s a very unimpressive list, I know. But I am interested in visiting as many as possible; some don’t exist anymore so would be impossible to see. I’ve got a lot of work to do!!
