Go ahead - I'm curious. :) You’re going to have to pick one more - the Pyramids in Egypt are technically the “8th” wonder, and are automatically “in”. Go ahead - I’m curious. :)

Like, the Statue of Liberty is nice and all, and so is the Eiffel Tower, but they don't induce "wonder" in me. When I look at them, I don't "wonder how they made them". Not like those ancient structures. Then again, we're entering a time when people will wonder less and less. At least, that's where I find myself heading. As computer graphics get more and more real, the less we can trust our eyes, and the more mundane spectacluar things will become. :( I didn’t get to vote, so I’m gonna vote here:
