The 7 Wonders Of The World---Taj Mahal, the Incan city of Machu Picchu, and the Great Wall of China are among the 7 wonders

Selecting the 7 wonders of the world is a mammoth task and a very difficult choice indeed. For centuries, human civilizations across the world have built and created cities, buildings, monuments, tombs, temples, churches, mosques, and other structures that continue to inspire the awe of millions of modern-day men and women of the world. The challenge of selecting only 7 of the best wonders from such a massive treasury is thus indeed difficult. Thus, various organizations have made an attempt to record a list of the 7 wonders of the world since antiquity. Here we present the list produced by the Swiss corporation, the New7Wonders Foundation.
In 2001, the Swiss corporation took an initiative to select the New7Wonders of the World from a list of 200 existing monuments in countries across the globe. 21 finalists were selected following the first round and the names were announced on January 1, 2006. The final 7 wonders of the world were selected by popular vote, and the results were announced on July 7, 2007. The Egyptians were not happy with the poll as they felt it was a disgrace for the age-old Great Pyramid of Giza to compete with recently built structures like the Sydney Opera House or the Statue of Liberty. Thus, the Great Pyramid Of Giza was assigned an honorary status in the list of the New7Wonders of the World. Here, we present the wonders of the world:

Taj Mahal - Completed c. AD 1648

Colosseum - Completed AD 80

Chichen Itza - c. AD 600

Machu Picchu - c. AD 1450

Christ the Redeemer - Opened October 12, 1931

Petra - c. 100 BC

Great Wall of China - Since 7th century BC

Great Pyramid of Giza (Honorary Candidate) - Completed c. 2560 BC
