Bummed stonehenge didnt make it, I think its mystery makes it attractive, I voted that rather than the Petra, the pyramids rather than the Machu picchu and the easter island statues rather than christ the redeemer. other than that I agree with the votes

Out of those, I only agree with the Colosseum and The Great Wall. This is what should be the seven wonders:


-Great Pyramid of Giza. Come on, you can't exclude that.

-Great Wall. Fair enough.

-Temple of Tikal [url:26ea3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikal[/url:26ea3]

-Colosseum. Definitely.

-Terracotta Army. [url:26ea3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Qin_Shi_Huang[/url:26ea3]

-St, Basil's Cathedral [url:26ea3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Basil%27s_Cathedral[/url:26ea3]

-Angkor Wat [url:26ea3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat[/url:26ea3]


An extra eighth wonder would be Versailles. [url:26ea3]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Versailles[/url:26ea3]

Machu Picchu and Petra are pretty sweet ones.

I think we're forgetting about the most important one.

meh, if it's something that can warrant more than 1-2 comments, it probably deserves its own thread.

pyramids are already an ancient wonder, so thats probably why it's not a new wonder.

what about the great city of persepolis as a wonder?

i just read a few days ago (probably in that wiki article, too lazy to look) that they have officially confirmed a huge chamber underneath it with a lake of mercury. china wont let anyone dig it though

Hanging Gardens of Babylon > all

guess i voted for accropolis

i dont care what anyone says, i dont consider most of these wonders, so who do they think they are to say that they are or not. this publicity stunt is gay.

There's really only been three real Wonders ever IMO:

Pyramids

Colosseum

Colossus of Rhodes


Those are really the only three structures ever built that, considering the resources available to human technology at the time, make me go, "WTF??!?"

jeez, u must be gutted to now realise that it was in fact so thread-worthy that not one but TWO
entire threads have been made about it...fucking hell, talk about missing a golden opportunity... cry:

if this experience has taught me anything, its to value my posts and make more threads rather than replies
