New 7 Wonders of the World Announced
It's over... the new 7 Wonders of the World were revealed in my home town Lisbon today, it was an amazing ceremony from the Luz Stadium (my soccer team's stadium SLBenfica).
The show was present by Ben Kingsley, Hilary Swank and the Indian beauty Bipasha Basu, there was lots of lights, fireworks and floating...
Completely spectacular was the presentation of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World within a gigantic book hanging in the air, it was given a brief description and it was pointed out that only one, the Great Pyramid of Giza (Cairo, Egypt) is still standing!!
Back to what's important the new 7 Wonders were chosen worldwide by over than 90 million votes on the first global election and here they are:
- Statue of Christ the Redeemer (Brazil)
- Machu Picchu (Peru)
- Chichen Itza pyramid (Mexico)
- Great Wall of China (China)
- Petra (Jordan)
- Colosseum (Rome, Italy)
- Taj Mahal (India)
But the biggest surprised of the night was the declaration of a new global election now for the New 7 Wonders of Nature!! Find more information here.
