Part of my choices isnt due to the largest or the oldest but by our monuments that have such an impact and become such apart of the countries they are within making them a wonder in there own right.
- Hagia Sophia (Full credit of it to Byzantium, not Turkey)
- The Acropolis
- Paris Opera House
- Windsor Castle (It just has that special something)
- Neuschwanstein Castle
- Big Ben
- Eifel Tower
Niagara Falls sucks.
Angkor
Chichen Itza
Great Wall
Taj Mahal
Stonehenge
Colloseum
Eastern Island Statues

Having looked through a bunch of lists of different 'wonders of the world', here's what I'd have...
1. Channel Tunnel
2. Panama Canal
3. The Internet
4. Petra
5. Great Wall of China
After this, it got a bit more difficult to figure out the final two.
6. Sistine Chapel
7. The Terracotta Army
I don't believe natural wonders should be included. That's a whole different ball game.
To me, a wonder of the world can't simply be something that fills you with fantasy - it has to be a unique achievement. Castles and palaces are all over the world, yet there is only one Great Wall of China. The internet? Obvious enough. Petra - a city carved from stone. The channel tunnel - a feat of modern engineering if ever there was one. The Panama Canal, connecting the mights of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, something which required moving more ground than would be moved to dig a tunnel to the center of the Earth 16m wide! Incredible. The Sistine Chapel - you think of it's ceiling alone and you are in awe, and that's just the tip of the iceberg in this building. And for anyone who hasn't heard of the Terracotta Army, you look it up and then tell me if you can think of something equaling that.
So yeah, those are my seven. Some of them aren't on the list, but oh well.
:( what happened to the grand canyon
i think its cool.....*goes off to sit by oneself in a corner*
I don't want to post my whole list, but i voted Kiyomizu Temple. Go Kyoto!
Hmm, some of them are hard to choose but my main quarrel with those wonders is that the Sagrada Familia doesn't appear on that list. I know it isn't finished yet but if that isn't a wonder of the world I don't know what is.
What no Chan Chan on the list?
Fail.
Easter Island Statues
Great Wall of China
The Kremlin / St. Basil
Neuschwanstein Castle
Stonehenge
What a :skull::skull::skull::skull:ty list. Most of this are just buildings. Here would be mine...off the top of my head at least.
Pyramids of Giza(How old are these and still standing? It deserves to be listed again)
Great Wall of China
Hoover Dam
Channel Tunnel
Panama Canal
Tikal Temples
The Colosseum
