Re: New Seven Wonders...
You actually had to SMS (text) to vote, IIRC.
Only the Pyramids are standing. The rest of them have been destroyed, by earthquakes (Collosos, Lighthouse of Pharos), looted or a conjecture of both.
The original list was based on Greek thought & scholarship. They were unlikely to have known of Stonehenge or the Great Wall.
Christ Redeemer, Colloseum and Taj Mahal would definitely not made it on my list.
