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 .
