WOW - Seven New Wonders Of The World!!! (WTH?)

...
The New 7 Wonders of the World
were finally announced during
the Official Declaration ceremony
in Lisbon, Portugal
on Saturday, July 7, 2007
- 07.07.07.

Verily, for the announcement and unveiling,
they couldn't have picked a better
place than A Vila Branca...! ;)
Not in a million years -
nope!



The following sites always will remain
Official New7Wonders Finalists,
- a batch which was nominated
from hundreds of sites
around the world:


The Acropolis, Greece

Alhambra, Spain

Angkor, Cambodia

Statues of Easter Island, Chile

Eiffel Tower, France

Hagia Sophia, Turkey

Kiyomizu Temple, Japan

Kremlin/St. Basil, Russia

Neuschwanstein Castle, Germany

Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

Statue of Liberty, USA

Stonehenge, United Kingdom

Sydney Opera House, Australia

Timbuktu, Mali

HOWEVER...


The New7Wonders organization
was happy to announce
the following 7 candidates
are the ones to have been OFFICIALLY
elected to represent global heritage
throughout history:


Chichén Itzá, Mexico

Christ Redeemer, Brazil

The Great Wall, China

Machu Picchu, Peru

Petra, Jordan

The Roman Colloseum, Italy

The Taj Mahal, India



Hmm...
Seems to me that
those are
pretty ancient in their own right...!

Not as ancient as the Colossus of Rhodes,
but still...!!!

(And speaking of which -
the Colossus having been in the 7,
I am sure that sparked the fire
for Americana to dream of
seeing their Lady Liberty
in there as well...!
Be content to make the finals,
and keep carrying that torch, eh?)

Maybe the good ol'USofA
will score some big points there
come the next ballot
scheduled to deliver
the Seven Wonders
of the World of Nature -
on o8.o8.o8.

Then again -
maybe not!
