The new 7 wonders of the world
Have you heard about the NEW seven wonders of the world? The pyramids are the only wonder remaining from the original seven, and now we are invited to vote for a NEW set of seven, HERE. Now let's play a trivia game:
Then come back here and:
What if you know them all... I'll pretend that I don't and just say The Lighthouse of Alexandria...
ReplyDeleteI think Stonhenge should be one of the new wonders.
ReplyDeleteYou might enjoy reading this which lists 7 ancient wonders, 7 middle ages wonders and 7 modern wonders, underwater wonders, natural wonders, etc. I can't decide between the wonders we can vote for. I like Stonehenge, the Colosseum, and a few others. I hate the Eiffel Tower! I mean, I love it from afar, but I never want to get within a few blocks of it because large crowds are scary and it's so tacky and touristy in that whole area.
ReplyDeleteI never understood why I didn't know most of the 7 world wonders. I guess it was time for a new list. I know more of the new ones.
ReplyDeleteI once wrote a poem about the 8th world wonder (it was a love poem).
Old ones I remember off the top of my head . . . the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Colossus of Rhodes. I love Stonehenge. And, I'd say Hadrian's Wall is quite a wonder.
ReplyDeleteThe Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Lighthouse of Alexandria are the only 2 I remember!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the Taj Mahal on the list. Especially after reading Beneath a Marble Sky!
I have always marveled at how Machu Picchu was created at the top of the Andes, and the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure visible from space. The beauty of the Taj Mahal is impressive, but so is the love behind it.
