If you have ever taken a history class, you have probably learned a few things about the ancient Seven Wonders of the World. In the last few years there has been a tremendous amount of debate regarding the naming of seven new Wonders of the World. Certainly, everyone has their opinion of which sites in the world should top the list, but popular opinion does seem to concur that the following sites are among some of the most wondrous:
The Great Wall of China
The Colosseum in Rome
The Taj Mahal
Petra in Jordan
The statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil
Chichen Itza pyramin in Mexico
Machu Picchu in Peru
Each of these sites has something to recommend it, whether it is the sheer size of it, as is the case with the Great Wall and the statue of Christ the Redeemer, or it is the grandeur, such as with the Taj Mahal.
