none of the 7 should have been made within the last 100 years. the christ the redeemer statue must be a joke right? I mean it big and grandeur and all, but a friggin wonder? Was its construction really that important to the worlds architecture?
Here here. Not a mention of any of the colossal and innovative bridges that the world has seen built over the past 200 years.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

Should not a wonder be something that is a marvel of architecture or whatever and important? The wonders of the ancient world were unequalled in their time, a phenomenone that actually makes them...a wonder.

Agreed, and not just because I've played Gabriel Knight 2.CameronPoe wrote:

In my opinion, the number of 'official' wonders shouldn't be restricted to a number as arbitrary as seven. I didn't even know about this vote until it was already done...tell me, were the leavings of mankind's trip to the surface of the moon on that list? If that isn't a wonder, I don't know what is.

Cool--six of the seven I voted for "won." For the seventh, I voted for Stone Henge and not Christ the Redeemer Statue. I didn't get that one. Of course, it might have won due to reports of Latin American ballot stuffing.
