Questions people ask
What are the New Seven Wonders of the World?
Seven landmarks chosen in a worldwide public vote announced in 2007: the Great Wall of China, Petra, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Picchu, Chichen Itza, the Colosseum and the Taj Mahal. Press New 7 Wonders to spin just those.
Which of the ancient Seven Wonders is still standing?
Only the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The other six, such as the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria, were destroyed long ago, and historians are not even sure the Hanging Gardens of Babylon existed as described.
Why are natural wonders counted as landmarks?
Places like the Grand Canyon, Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef are as famous as any building, so they share the main list. Press Built by people if you only want towers, bridges, castles and monuments.
Which landmark on the list is the tallest?
The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the tallest building in the world at over 800 metres since it opened in 2010. The Eiffel Tower, by comparison, is about 330 metres including its antennas.
