In 2007, more than 100 million folks selected to declare the New Seven Wonders of the World. The following list of seven winners is presented without ranking, and aims to signify global heritage.
Great Wall of China (China)
Built between the 5th century B.C. and the 16th century, the Great Wall of China is a stone-and-earth fortification created to protect the borders of the Chinese Kingdom from attacking Mongols. The Great Wall is actually a chain of multiple walls covering around 4,000 miles, making it the world's lengthiest artificial structure.
Christ the Redeemer Statue (Rio de Janeiro)
The Art Deco-style Christ the Redeemer statue has been future over the Brazilians from upon Corcovado Mountain in an awe-inspiring state of timeless dedication since 1931. The 130-foot steel-clad concrete-and-soapstone statue was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and cost around $250,000 to build - much of the money was raised through aids. The statue has become an easily known icon for Rio and Brazil.
Machu Picchu (Peru)
Machu Picchu, an Incan city of shiny stonework precariously balanced between 2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of Cusco. Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this mountain citadel was later wild by the Incas. The site remained unidentified except to locals until 1911, when it was revived by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by train from nearby Cusco.
Chichen Itza (Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico)
The genius and flexibility of Mayan culture can be seen in the superb ruins of Chichen Itza. This dominant city, a trading center for cloth, slaves, honey and salt, flourished from approximately 800 to 1200, and acted as the political and economic hub of the Mayan civilization. The most familiar ruin at the site is El Caracol, a sophisticated lunar building.
The Roman Colosseum (Rome)
Rome's, if not Italy's, most enduring icon is undoubtedly its Colosseum. Built between A.D. 70 and 80 A.D., it was in use for some 500 years.
Taj Mahal (Agra, India)
A mausoleum commissioned for the wife of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the Taj Mahal was built between 1632 and 1648. Considered the most perfect specimen of Muslim art in India, the white-marble Taj Mahal actually represents a number of architectural styles, including Persian, Islamic, Turkish and Indian.
Petra (Jordan)
Declared a World Heritage Site in 1985, Petra was the capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV, and likely existed in its prime from 9 B.C. to A.D. 40. The members of this civilization proved to be early experts in manipulating water technology, constructing intricate tunnels and water chambers, which helped create an pseudo-oasis
