New 7 Wonders of The World

Half a millennium on from the famous etchings of the Seven Ancient Wonders of The World, an organisation from Switzerland decided the list was perhaps a little outdated, and embarked on a mission of polling the public on what the New 7 Wonders of The World should be. They had a point, given a majority on the original list lie in ruins, or simply don't exist today. And things tend to change a tad in 500 years!

So in 2007, the votes were counted and the New 7 Wonders were revealed as:
Why is the list not numbered, I hear you ask? Well, apparently the actual votes and rankings of the top 7 wonders were never revealed. How hush hush. Yet not too surprising, given the Swiss stance of neutrality and secrecy. Mum's the word.

This missed opportunity means that we have no way of knowing how they compare to each other. Well, fear not my fellow friends! Luckily, I have visited a few (1-5), and so I will use my best judgement to rank them for you in order of all wondrousness!

Sadly, I have not quite stepped foot on all of the New 7 Wonders of The World just yet - only 1-5! But I will be visiting the majestic Mahal in only 2 months time, and I have Itza mapped-out in my mind. So check back soon, and hopefully I will have more to add!

If you've visited multiple wonders, I'd love to hear how you feel they compare yourself. What order would you put them in? Pop a reply in the comments below or email me to let me know your thoughts - info@timbuk2stu.com.
