This website offers you the opportunity to participate in the first-ever global vote to elect
the New 7 Wonders of the World!! This vote will culminate with a live, worldwide telecast
on July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07 to announce the New 7 Wonders of the World.
The Acropolis of Athens (450 - 330 B.C.) Athens, Greece
Built atop what is known as the “Sacred Rock” of Athens, the Acropolis was to radiate power and protection for its citizens.
The temples of the Acropolis have become the some of most famous architectural landmarks of ancient and modern history.
Today, the Parthenon in particular is an international symbol of Greek civilization. A graphic illustration of the temple also
appears in the UNESCO logo, representing culture and education.
In short - vote for the Acropolis, because it is a great symbol of - Civilization & Democracy!
Alhambra (12th century) Granada, Spain
Mohammed I, the first king of the Nasriden – a Moorish dynasty in Granada - converted a 9th-century castle into his private
royal residence, and it is this which we now know as the Alhambra. The structure, which covers an area of 13 hectares, is
renowned for its stunning frescoes and interior detail. The building is one of the finest examples of Moorish architecture in the
world and is among Europe’s most-visited tourist attractions.
In short - vote for the Alhambra, because it now represents - Dignity & Dialog!
Angkor (12th century) Cambodia
Angkor is the most important monument of the south-east Asian Khmer Empire and the world’s largest sacred temple. Built
during the reign of King Suryavaman, at the beginning of the 12th century, Angkor is noted for its intricate ornamentation and
striking beauty. With its water moats, concentric walls and magnificent temple mountain in the center, Angkor Wat symbolizes
the Hindu cosmos, with its oceans at the periphery and the Meru mountain at the center of its universe.
In short - vote for Angkor, because it is a great symbol of - Beauty & Sanctity!
The Pyramid at Chichén Itzá (before 800 A.D.) Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Chichén Itzá, the most famous Mayan temple city, served as the political and economic center of the Mayan civilization. Its
various structures - the pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple of Chac Mool, the Hall of the Thousand Pillars, and the Playing
Field of the Prisoners – can still be seen today and are demonstrative of an extraordinary commitment to architectural space
and composition. The pyramid itself was the last, and arguably the greatest, of all Mayan temples.
In short - vote for Chichén Itzá, because it symbolizes - Worship & Knowledge!
Christ Redeemer (1931) Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
This statue of Jesus stands some 38 meters tall, atop the Corcovado mountain overlooking Rio de Janeiro. Designed by Brazilian
Heitor da Silva Costa and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, it is one of the world’s best-known monuments. The
statue took five years to construct and was inaugurated on October 12, 1931. It has become a symbol of the city and of the
warmth of the Brazilian people, who receive visitors with open arms.
In short - vote for Christ Redeemer, because it stands for - Welcoming & Openness!
The Roman Colosseum (70 - 82 A.D.) Rome, Italy
This great amphitheater in the centre of Rome was built to give favors to successful legionnaires and to celebrate the glory of the
Roman Empire. Its design concept still stands to this very day, and virtually every modern sports stadium some 2,000 years later
still bears the irresistible imprint of the Colosseum's original design. Today, through films and history books, we are even more
aware of the cruel fights and games 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!
Statues of Easter Island (10th - 16th Century) Easter Island
Discovered on Easter Sunday, 1722 by Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen, this collection of 25 meter-high stone sculptures still
puzzles historians and archaeologists as to its origins. It is believed that a society of Polynesian origin settled here in the 4th century
and established a unique tradition of monumental sculpture. Between the 10th and 16th centuries, they erected the enormous stone
figures, known as the Moai, which have long fascinated the entire world and endowed this island with a mythical atmosphere.
In short - vote for the Easter Island Statues, because they are a symbol of - Mystery & Awe!
The Eiffel Tower (1887 - 89) Paris, France
The creation of Gustave Eiffel, this magnificent steel tower has come to serve as a symbol of Paris, as well as of France itself. The
structure is not only a landmark that is recognized all over the world, but is perhaps the most popular architectural achievement in
the Western world. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world until the Empire State Building was constructed. The tower is
visited by six million people every year.
In short - vote for the Eiffel Tower as a symbol of - Challenge & Progress!
The Great Wall of China (220 B.C and 1368 - 1644 A.D.) China
The Great Wall of China was built to link existing fortifications into a united defense system and better keep invading Mongol tribes out
of China. It is the largest man-made monument ever to have been built and is the only one visible from space. Many thousands of people
must have given their lives to build this colossal construction.
In short - vote for the Great Wall of China, because it is incredible proof of - Perseverance & Persistence!
The Hagia Sophia (532 - 537 A.D.) Istanbul, Turkey
The Hagia Sophia was erected during the reign of Emperor Justinian (532 - 537 A.D.), when the Byzantine Empire was at the height of
its power and influence. The massive dome, which is the prominent architectural feature, has since often been used as a model for the design
of Islamic mosques. Indeed, after the fall of Byzantium, the Hagia Sophia was converted into an Ottoman mosque. Today, the monument is
a museum serving both Christians and Muslims.
In short - vote for the Hagia Sophia, because it now stands for - Faith & Respect!
Kiyomizu Temple (749 - 1855) Kyoto, Japan
Laid out in 794 A.D., the palaces and temples of Kyoto were the residences of Japan's emperors and shoguns for more than 1,000 years. The
Japanese Emperor is enthroned at the Imperial Palace of Gosho. Among other significant works are the Higashi Nonganji and Nishi Hoganji
temple complexes, the Kinkakuji Temple with its 'Golden Pavilion' and the Kiyomizu Temple, the temple of “clear waters.” The Kyoto sites
have been destroyed and rebuilt many times throughout history and are today among Asia's greatest cultural heritage sites.
In short - vote for the Kiyomizu Temple as a symbol of - Clarity & Serenity!
The Kremlin and Red Square (1156 - 1850) Moscow, Russia
Built as a residence for Ivan I, the Kremlin was the official residence of the Czars until the 1917 Russian Revolution. Today, it still houses the
President’s office. In front of the Kremlin is Red Square – an impressive and exuberant plaza which, for many people, is associated with the
infamous May Day demonstrations. Rising from the square is St Basil's Cathedral, built in the 1550s to commemorate Ivan the Terrible's
capture of the Mongol stronghold of Kazan.
In short - vote for the Kremlin/St.Basil's, as a representation of - Fortitude & Symbolism!
Machu Picchu (1460-1470), Peru
In the 15th century, the Incan Emperor Pachacútec built a city in the clouds on the mountain known as Machu Picchu ("old mountain").
This extraordinary settlement lies halfway up the Andes Plateau, deep in the Amazon jungle and above the Urubamba River. It was
probably abandoned by the Incas because of a smallpox outbreak and, after the Spanish defeated the Incan Empire, the city remained
'lost' for over three centuries. It was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911.
In short - vote for Machu Picchu, as it is a symbol of - Community & Dedication!
Neuschwanstein Castle (1869 -1884) Füssen, Germany
Neuschwanstein Castle was built in a time when castles and fortresses were no longer strategically necessary. Instead, it was born of pure
fantasy – a beautiful, romantic composition of towers and walls in the perfect setting of mountains and lakes. The combination of various
architectural styles and intrinsic craftwork has inspired generations of adults and children alike.
In short - vote for Neuschwanstein Castle, because it is a great tribute to - Fantasy & Imagination!
Petra (9 B.C. - 40 A.D.), Jordan
On the edge of the Arabian Desert, Petra was the glittering capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to 40 A.D.). Masters
of water technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnel constructions and water chambers. An amphitheater, modelled on
Greek-Roman prototypes, had space for an audience of 4,000. Today, the Palace Tombs of Petra, with the 42-meter-high Hellenistic temple
facade on the El-Deir Monastery, are impressive examples of Middle Eastern culture.
In short - vote for Petra, as it is a great symbol of - Engineering & Protection!
The Great Wall of China was built to link existing fortifications into a united defense system and better keep invading Mongol tribes out
of China. It is the largest man-made monument ever to have been built and is the only one visible from space. Many thousands of people
must have given their lives to build this colossal construction.

In short - vote for Petra, as it is a great symbol of - Engineering & Protection!
The Pyramids of Giza (2600 - 2500 B.C), Egypt
The Pyramids of Giza, the oldest and only Ancient Wonder still standing, are testimony to perfection in art and design, never subsequently achieved.
They were built by planners and engineers purely to serve their earthy rulers - who were also their gods. Philosophy did not exist at this time, and
creation was not subject to any questioning. The pyramids are the purest of constructions, built for eternity.
In short - vote for the Pyramids of Giza, because they reflect the greatest human dream of all - Immortality & Eternity!
The Statue of Liberty (1886) New York City, U.S.A.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift of the French government to the United States to honor the ideals of freedom and independence. It was a very
early gesture of national generosity. This huge statue became a symbol of hope and freedom for many hundreds of millions of people who
immigrated to the United States during the 20th century to find a new life of peace and prosperity. It is also the one New7Wonders candidate
that most closely resembles one of the Ancient 7 Wonders - The Colossus of Rhodes.
In short - vote for the Statue of Liberty, because she is a great symbol of - Generosity & Hope!
Stonehenge (3000 B.C. - 1600 B.C.) Amesbury, United Kingdom
Construction of Stonehenge took place between ca. 3000 and 1600 B.C. With each stone weighing around 50 tons, it is regarded as a truly
amazing feat of engineering. Although it is not clear who built the monument, nor for what purpose, it has been speculated that it was either a
temple dedicated to the worship of ancient earth deities, an astronomical observatory or a sacred burial site.
In short - vote for Stonehenge, because, even today, it represents - Intrigue & Endurance!
Sydney Opera House (1954 - 73) Sydney, Australia
When the Sydney Opera House was finished in 1973, this landmark building - in the true sense of the expression, - put the whole continent of
Australia on the world map. This building does not imitate or reflect what we generally imagine an opera house might look like, indeed, it is a
completely abstract interpretation. The ability to create abstract art only developed after the invention of photography in the late 19th century,
when painters first began to experiment with an abstract, cubist interpretation of reality.
In short - vote for the Sydney Opera House, because it reflects - Abstraction & Creativity!
The Taj Mahal (1630 A.D.) Agra, India
This immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife.
Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art 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!
Timbuktu (12th century) Mali
In the 12th century, Timbuktu was at the crossroads of the four most important caravan paths supplying the Arab world, which then spanned from
the Middle East all the way to Spain. The accumulation of wealth made it one of the wealthiest places on earth at the time. This allowed one of the
first universities in the history of humankind to be established– the celebrated Islamic university called the Koranic Sankore, where 20,000 students
studied law, medicine, rhetoric, etc. Today, it remains with us as a powerful myth and, in this way, resembles another Ancient Wonder, the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon.
In short - vote for Timbuktu, because it stands for - Intellect & Mysticism!
