The city of Petra is such a masterpiece of architecture... Most of the people still believes that the locations of the last sequences of Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade were created on matte or on a stage... bless my bark!!! It's a real city!!!



I love most of the new wonders of the world that you posted but I keep my vote for Petra and very close Angkor Wat...

Park Güell is fantastic indeed! It surely deserves to be recognized as a modern wonder!

never seen any of those listed in person. From what I've seen, I'd say the Golden Gate Bridge

well, it seems there was some kind of a process of elimination, but i can't say more because i didn't read more, i went straight to the voting area .all i know is from a newspaper article where i found the site address; it also said that jury members were not happy with all of the 21 finalists. myself i do think that La Sagrada Familia is a wonder.

The list should include mp3 format, Fellini films, pancakes, blue cheese and Morgan Freeman (the video store had a whole section with Morgan Freeman based movies).

I wish I could say Macchu Picchu in Peru, once I will visit it, it's my #1 'ancient culture wish' Thumbs Up
 
My #1 is the Alhambra in Granada (Spain), it's one of the most beautiful sites I have visited and I am glad that I have taken so many pictures Approve
 
The pyramids in Gizeh (Egypt) were also very impressive, when I stood in front of it, I realised what an incredible piece of work it must have been to build this, all those gigantic rocks Wacko
 
And I would like to mention the Niagara Falls near Toronto, Canada, also very impressive and I was delighted about the eternal double rainbow above the falls Approve

Mine is the Collossus of Rhodes. I wish it were still there. The Pyramids of Egypt would be next. Just think, the Egyptians did that thousands of years ago. A lot of the other stuff is really great.
