I paid a little attention to it.

| The New 7 Wonders of the World |
This semester, my Art History class
has made me more interested in finding out more about the wonders of the world.
Here are 3 questions that I had in mind:
1. Why do they
have to be 7?
2. Who decides
what is a wonder of the world and what isn’t?
3. What makes
these wonders so special?
Here are some answers I found:
1.
The number 7 adopted, based on guidebooks
popular among Hellenic sightseers. The sightseers were Greek and they believed
that the number 7 represented perfection and plenty, and because it was the
number of the five planets known anciently, plus the sun and moon
2.
Over 100 million voters around the world vote
for what should be on the list. A Swiss corporation called “The New7Wonders of
the World” organized the event and hosted the voting site where millions around
the world voted for their top 7 wonders of the world. The last announcement of
the new 7 wonders was held on 07/07/07 to represent perfection.
3.
The fact that they can be recognized worldwide
as phenomenal creation, whether manmade or natural makes them a wonder.
Hope you have learned something
about the wonders of the world. Below is video of the official announcemt of
the New7Wonders of the world.
