The 'Wonders of the World' Votes are in!
Following up on an earlier post, the voting is now complete, and the winner has been announced. And here are the "New Seven Wonders of the World": Mexico's Chichen Itza, Brazil's statue of Christ Redeemer, The Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Jordan's Petra, the Colosseum in Rome, and India's Taj Mahal.
The organizers say that they got about 100 million votes in what they're calling the world's first global vote.
The Egyptian pyramids at Giza retain their place in the "original" list of the Seven Wonders of the World, and that site is the only site which still exists from the original Seven.
The organizers are now busying themselves with the next world-vote: the New Seven Wonders of Nature. Vote online at www.natural7wonders.com

Achei muito legal o Cristo redentor ter sido eleito uma das 7 novas maravilhas do mundo. Ele é um dos principais cartões postais do Brasil.
Abraços à todos que ententem português.
