new seven wonders~

Posted by Ling at 12:00 PM
a non-profit Swiss organization, new7wonders, has organized a voting for the new seven wonders of the world! the ancient seven wonders of the world include the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Statue of Zeus at Olympia; the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus; the Colossus of Rhodes and the Lighthouse of Alexandria, with only one of those ancient wonders still existing today~
the new7wonders promotes the preservation, restoration and promotion of monuments, which is why they created the chance for people all around the world to vote for what they think is the new seven wonders :D they've narrowed it down to 21 choices, and by a simple registration process, you can vote too~ the voting will end on July 7, 2007 (777 @.@) and the results will be announced then~

You can go here to register and vote~

it's pretty interesting, especially considering how many amazing monuments were made after the ancient seven were chosen~
