The New 7Wonders

Not sure if anyone has heard of the site which has voted over several years for the New 7 Wonders.

It started because there was always controversy over what the Seven Wonders of the World actually were.

Some talked of Ancient wonders, natural wonders and so on.

Some talked of Ancient wonders, natural wonders and so on.

This site allowed people to nominate their 'Wonder. These were collated and voted on.

They then reduced the list to the top 21 and once again anyone was invited to vote.

You could have a vote for every email address. We visited the Alhambra at the time of the voting and they had banks of computers where you could make your vote there and then.

The final New7Wonders were announced on 07. 07 2007


The final twenty one on the list were:
