Hanging Gardens of Where? “Name the Seven Wonders of the World.

OK, name one.

If you think of any of them, don’t worry. Few people besides 6th graders and ancient history scholars can
name them all. In fact, only one of the original ancient wonders survives: the Egyptian Pyramid at Giza, built
around 2600 B.C. and the oldest structures on the list. Over the millennia, the monuments have been
destroyed by earthquakes, fires, sandstorms and marauding armies.

Now there’s a campaign under way at new7wonders.com to pick seven new symbols of humanity’s greatest
achievements. So far, more than 2 million people from over 200 countries have cast their ballots, according to
the site… So far, the Mayan pyramids at Chichen Itza in Mexico top the list. Mexicans, by the way,
have cast 30 percent of the ballots in the poll, which concludes June 30.” Wired
