A Swiss charity initiated a campaign in 2000 to identify the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Given that the original Seven Wonders list was prepared in the 2nd century BCE and that just one entry (the Pyramids of Giza) is still standing, it seemed time for an update.
And it appears that people all across the world agreed, as more than 100 million votes were cast via the Internet or text messaging.
The final results, published in 2007, were received with both cheers and jeers—a number of significant candidates, such as Athens' Acropolis, did not make the cut.
Are you in agreement with the updated list?
