N7W

The New Seven Wonders of the World vote was just closed on July 7th, 2007. The selection was made by free and paid votes, through telephone or online. It is an alternative to the Seven Wonders of the World. According to the international official authority, the winners are (alphabetical order):

Chichén Itzá, Mexico
Christ Redeemer, Brazil
The Great Wall, China
Machu Picchu, Peru
Petra, Jordan
The Roman Colloseum, Italy
The Taj Mahal, India

I didn't vote for this but am very delighted to find out that the Great Wall has been selected. And it's kind of surprising to know that it was not considered a wonder in the 'old' version of the Seven Wonders of the World.
