New Seven Wonders of the World in Google Earth

Of the original seven wonders of the ancient world (man-made) only the pyramids of Giza are still standing. A web site called New Seven Wonders held a vote during the last several months in which many millions of people voted out of 21 different sites to select the next seven wonders. The winners were announced, appropriately enough, on 7/7/7. Here is a Google Earth file which shows the new seven wonders of the world (http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/download.php?Number=941572). The best tip is to turn on the Geographic Web layer so you can see many photos taken of each site available from Panoramio. There are also 3D models available of some of the locations.

Here's a quick list of the new seven wonders:

1. Ancient City of Petra
2. Machu Picchu
3. The Great Wall of China
4. Taj Mahal
5. Christ Redeemer, Rio
6. The Roman Colloseum
7. Chichén Itzá
