The New Seven Wonders |
| |
The
commonly known Seven Ancient Wonders of the
World were all man made
monuments, selected by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C. Today,
only the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt remain. Now, Swiss
adventure traveler Bernard Weber is seeking to revive the concept
of the
7 Wonders of the World with this ambitious global campaign,
the New 7 Wonders of the World.
The key difference is that, this time around, they will not be chosen
by one man, but rather by millions of people
all over the world. The
New Seven Wonders that are selected will be the people's choices,
and they will be drawn from the earliest time that humankind walked
upon the earth up through the year 2000. The campaign field
has been narrowed to 21 candidates and the winners will be announced
on 7/7/07 in Lisbon, Portugal. If you would like to see
all the candidates and cast your vote please visit www.new7wonders.com . |
