7 Wonders of the world what would you put in, in the modern world ?

[hollydolly]

The famous 7 wonders of the world are listed below...

The Great Wall of China
Chichen Itza - Mexico
Petra - Jordan
Machu Picchu - Peru
Christ the Redeemer - Brazil
The Colosseum of Rome
The Taj Mahal - India

If we had a new 7 wonder of the world list what would you suggest?.. It can be an Invention, a person, a Building, an area., even a country if you so wish.... anything you think is an amzing thing which should go into the list of the Wonders of the world

I would add The 12 Apostles near Melbourne, Victoria in Australia. There are fewer than 12 now, due to erosion. This view, in person, took my breath away.

I grew up near Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida. Had an underwater theater for watching mermaid shows. It was a bit of a tourist trap.

There were billboards all over the state advertising it with an endorsement from Arthur Godfrey, calling it the "a Wonder of the World"

Not sure that it was, but still a kind of interesting place. It's a state park today, the theater is still open and they still do the mermaid shows. Billboards are long gone, as are the claims of being a Wonder of the World.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are more impressive, but on either list, to make it easy, Niagra Falls.

As debased as modern society has gotten, Walmart should probably be listed among the modern wonders of the world, as in “I wonder I wasn’t blinded by seeing that sight!”

 

[hollydolly]

Canada..Spiral Train Tunnels... ..another Modern wonder

Cliff Palace, Colorado

It is the largest cliff dwelling structure in North America, and definitely one of this country's greatest national treasures.

Built by the Ancestral Puebloans over a thousand years ago, this massive complex of sandstone, mortar and wooden beams was occupied for at least 150 years before being mysteriously abandoned.

It might not be spectacular and there may be similar places that are larger, but I thought this place was super:

At the great cave of the Northeast, an elevator takes you 156’below ground. The doors open into a prehistoric underground cavern 6,000,000 years in the making!

The Grand Canyon, Arizona

277 miles long and nearly 6 million years old, depending on who you ask. It was formed as the Colorado River cut its way through the hard stone of the region, and over two billion years of geological history can be seen in the canyon's sheer cliff faces. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979

****** and 6 other things....

Blue grotto in the Marianas. Latte stones on Guam.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Some people would say the 'Giant's causeway' in N.Ireland. I've seen it and while it's geologically interesting, it's not really all that big.
As someone once said, "It's worth seeing, but not worth going to see". I would say the same of Hadrian's wall which is interesting from a historical point of view, but little of it remains intact.
