The 7 Wonders of the Modern World

Since the Seven Wonders of the ancient world were pretty much all but destroyed (only thing that was left were the Giza pyramids), some new ones were picked out by the New7Wonders (what’s in a name?) Foundation. A total of 21 finalists were selected, and the results were made public on July 7th, 2007. Let’s take a look at everyone’s next 21 trip locations.

The winners

The Great Wall of China (China)
Construction began on sections in the 7th century BC, this is – you’d never guess – located in China. Visit now before Trump builds the Great Wall of Mexico.

Petra (Jordan)
This is in Jordan and was constructed about 100 BC. This is essentially a temple hewn right out of a mountain.
