I think the rest are good cause they are old and still standing, the rio thing just seems too modern.

I know its a modern wonders, if that modern, why not that new french bridge?

I was thinking of the centre column from the Temple of Artemis, interesting article never the less

Am off on a cruise of Egypt and Jordan in November - am looking forward to seeing Petra.

Thought Stonehenge might have made it.

I visited Stonehenge just a few weeks ago, and I was slightly surprised as it is a lot smaller than I expected it to be. Still very impressive (but not on a par with Angkor, or the Taj Mahal).

It's not so much the monument itself that's impressive, more how the damn thing got there. I studied it many moons ago at school. Amazing.
