The new Seven Wonders of the World have been named:

• The Great Wall of China
• Petra in Jordan
• Brazil's statue of Christ the Redeemer
• Peru's Machu Picchu
• Mexico's Chichen Itza pyramid
• The Colosseum in Rome
• India's Taj Mahal

Along the way, I found out that apart from the Pyramids in Egypt, all of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have been destroyed:

• Great Pyramid of Giza
• Hanging Gardens of Babylon
• Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
• Statue of Zeus at Olympia
• Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus
• Colossus of Rhodes
• Lighthouse of Alexandria

Out of the eight Wonders (one ancient and seven new), I have only seen the Colosseum, which cost me a princely sum of 8 Euros after my student discount back in 2001. I wasn't incredibly impressed at the time, but I acknowledge the skill and ability needed to construct such a monstrous stadium back in that time and age must have been considerable.
