Introduction
The New Seven Wonders Of the World was a project that attempted to update the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World concept with modern lists of wonders.
The Seven Wonders of the World are impressive monuments regarded with awe and
wonder. In the past, there were the seven wonders of the ancient world that amazed people who had the fortune to see them.
Today, there are some spectacular monuments that are just as impressive as the ancient ones.
The New Seven Wonders Foundation in Switzerland received around two hundred
entries from across the world, and it finally short-listed twenty one finalists. In 2007, the final list of the seven modern wonders were
announced in Lisbon, Portugal.
The new seven modern wonders of the world are comprised of: the Taj Mahal of
India, The Great Wall of China, Christ the Redeemer statue of Brazil, Machu Picchu of
Peru, Petra of Jordan, Colosseum of Italy, and Chichen Itza of Mexico.
