China's Great Wall a top 'wonder'

LISBON, Portugal, July 7 (UPI) -- The Great Wall of China topped the new "Seven Wonders of the World" in voting by 100 million people worldwide, it was announced in Portugal.

Joining the Great Wall on the list announced in Lisbon Sunday were the Petra in Jordan; Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil; Machu Picchu in Peru; Chichen Itza pyramid in Mexico; the Colosseum in Rome and the Taj Mahal in India; the ibnlive.com Web site said.

The new "Seven Wonders" stand with the last of the original list of the seven most fantastic man-made structures still standing -- the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, which were exempt from the competition. The other original wonders selected by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C. were the Lighthouse of Alexandria; the Temple of Artemis; the Statue of Zeus; the Colossus of Rhodes; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.

Actor Ben Kingsley, host of the grand ceremony, called the structures "seven symbols of unity that reflect and celebrate the cultural diversity of the world."

Among the losing contenders were the Acropolis of Greece; Easter Island of Chile; the Eiffel Tower in Paris; the Statue of Liberty in New York and Stonehenge in Britain.

The statue took five years to construct and wasinaugurated on October 12, 1931. It has become a symbol of the city andof the warmth of the Brazilian people, who receive visitors with openarms.

In short - vote for Christ Redeemer, because it stands for

The Great Wall of China (220 B.C and 1368 - 1644 A.D.) China        TheGreat Wall of China was built to link existing fortifications into aunited defense system and better keep invading Mongol tribes out ofChina. It is the largest man-made monument ever to have been built andit is disputed that it is the only one visible from space. Manythousands of people must have given their lives to build this colossalconstruction.

In short - vote for the Great Wall of China, because it is incredible proof of

Machu Picchu (1460-1470), Peru         Inthe 15th century, the Incan Emperor Pachac鷗ec built a city in theclouds on the mountain known as Machu Picchu ("old mountain"). Thisextraordinary settlement lies halfway up the Andes Plateau, deep in theAmazon jungle and above the Urubamba River. It was probably abandonedby the Incas because of a smallpox outbreak and, after the Spanishdefeated the Incan Empire, the city remained 'lost' for over threecenturies. It was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911.

In short - vote for Machu Picchu,
as it is a symbol of
- Community & Dedication!

One of the 7 wonders of the World

Petra (9 B.C. - 40 A.D.), Jordan         Onthe edge of the Arabian Desert, Petra was the glittering capital of theNabataean empire of King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to 40 A.D.). Masters ofwater technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnelconstructions and water chambers. A theater, modelled on Greek-Romanprototypes, had space for an audience of 4,000. Today, the Palace Tombsof Petra, with the 42-meter-high Hellenistic temple facade on theEl-Deir Monastery, are impressive examples of Middle Eastern culture.

In short - vote for Petra,
as it is a great symbol of

The Roman Colosseum (70 - 82 A.D.) Rome, Italy         Thisgreat amphitheater in the centre of Rome was built to give favors tosuccessful legionnaires and to celebrate the glory of the Roman Empire.Its design concept still stands to this very day, and virtually everymodern sports stadium some 2,000 years later still bears theirresistible imprint of the Colosseum's original design. Today, throughfilms and history books, we are even more aware of the cruel fights andgames that took place in this arena, all for the joy of the spectators.

In short - vote for the Colosseum, because it is now a symbol of
- Joy & Suffering!

The Taj Mahal (1630 A.D.) Agra, India         Thisimmense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifthMuslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife.Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walledgardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslimart in India. The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is said,could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window.

In short - vote for the Taj Mahal,
the greatest symbol of
- Love & Passion!

sebab Piramid Mesir dianggap atau pun telah dipilih sbg "keajaiban terunggul" dan kerajaan Mesir tknak Piramid dimasukkan dlm list calon utk pemilihan The New 7 Wonders sbb status piramid sbg binaan paling unik dlm sejarah binaan. oleh itu, dunia skrg ada 8 keajaiban dunia termasuk piramid!

I tak agree dengan patung 'Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil' di masukkan dalm seven wonders of the world. Ia cuma satu usaha untuk menunjukkan kehebatan senibina yang berunsurkan Keristian untuk menyaingi banyak senibina islam yang lebih unggul spt. alhambra,taj mahal,ampangan di Iran, dsbnya. Sorry..No prejudice here!
