Egypt has just derode a contest in determining the new seven wonders of the world because they say it is a disgrace to compete for a spot given it is the only surving structure from the traditional list of seven wonders of the ancient world.
The Traditional List includes:
-The Great Pyramid of Giza
-The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
-The Statue of Zues at Olympia
-The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
-The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
-The Colossus at Rhodes
-The Lighthouse of Alexandria
Imagine this list originated 2 mellenia ago.
But through the leadership of Bernard Weber, we are going to determine the new wonders of the world. The winners will be announced on 07.07.07...
Hmmm...
Give to Egypt! Come on! Go! Go! Go!
