The D-Day has arrived!
Final list of new seven wonders of the world has been announced in the ceremony held in Lisbon.
I have been consistently writing about the way this voting process is a big money making scam and the Swiss based for-profit organization has made millions of dollars in this process.
Here are the official new 7 wonders result for you:
The Wonder |
Country |
Statue of Christ Redeemer |
Brazil |
Machu Picchu |
Peru |
Chichen Itza pyramid |
Mexico |
Great Wall of China |
China |
Petra |
Jordan |
The Colosseum |
Rome |
The Taj Mahal |
India |
These 7 wonders came from the 10 finalists out of originally 200 nominated for the coveted list. The 10 finalists out of which these 7 wonders chosen are:
The Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, Greece’s Acropolis, Peru’s Machu Picchu, Colosseum in Rome, Mexico’s Chichen Itza pyramid, the Eiffel Tower, Easter Island, Brazil’s Statue of Christ Redeemer and Jordan’s Petra.
The Taj Mahal was not in the top 7 list, however, it made a comeback in last couple of months on back of huge surge of voting’s from Asian region, specifically South East Asia.
