What do you Think of the New Seven Wonders of the World?
Original Wonders:
The Great Pyramid of Giza,
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia,
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus,
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus,
The Colossus of Rhodes,
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
New Wonders:
The Great Wall of China,
Petra (Jordan),
Christ Redeemer (Brazil),
Chichen Itza (Mexico),
Machu Picchu (Peru),
The Colosseum (Italy),
The Taj Mahal (India)
Do you think the Pyramid of Giza should have stayed on the new list?
Do you feel any of the other nominations were more deserving of a spot? If so why?
For the runners up:

Overall, I’m happy. I voted for the Colosseum, Machu Picchu, Petra, and Chichen Itza, but I think Stonehenge should have made it. I think it’s more deserving than Christ Redeemer. And I don’t think the Pyramids of Giza were “on” the list were they? I thought it was just an “honary candidate” because it still exists and there was a big fight about how they Pyramids shouldn’t have to compete with everything else.
But anyway, as I said, I’m overall happy
