Millions of people participated in one of the largest global votes that has ever taken place. The result released on 7 July 2007 – 07/07/07

The final tally produced this list of the world’s top human-built wonders:

• 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

• 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

This was done by e-voting , the principle being that after 2200 yrs of the old 7 wonders the public could now vote and choose their new 7 wonders which best reflect our global heritage through out the world .Of the seven ancient wonders of the world, only one remains standing today, the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. The results were announced in June 2007. Organisers stated that their aim was to use part of the revenue from the contest between the well-known monuments, from future votes, related merchandise, and use of the voters database, to set up, or contribute to, various restoration projects in the world .

After the final announcement, however, NOWC which had promised to give 50 per cent of the revenues from its campaign, said it didn’t earn anything from the exercise and barely recovered its investments.
