    7 wonders of

    the world
    Great
    wall of
    China
    • In 2007, more than 100 million people voted to
    declare the New Seven Wonders of the World.
    • Built between the 5th century B.C. and the 16th
    century, the Great wall of China is a stone-and-
    earth fortification created to protect the borders
    of the Chinese Empire from invading Mongols.
    • The Great Wall is actually a succession of
    multiple walls spanning approximately 4,000
    miles, making it the world's longest manmade
    structure.
    Christ the Redeemer Statue (Rio de Janeiro)
    • The Art Deco-style Christ the Redeemer statue has
    been looming over the Brazilians from upon
    Corcovado mountain in an awe-inspiring state of
    eternal blessing since 1931.
    • The 130-foot reinforced concrete-and-soapstone
    statue was designed by Heitor da Silva Costa and
    cost approximately $250,000 to build - much of the
    money was raised through donations.
    • The statue has become an easily recognized icon for
    Rio and Brazil.

    Machu Picchu (Peru)
    • an Incan city of sparkling granite precariously perched between
    2 towering Andean peaks, is thought by scholars to have been a
    sacred archaeological center for the nearby Incan capital of
    Cusco.
    • Built at the peak of the Incan Empire in the mid-1400s, this
    mountain citadel was later abandoned by the Incas.
    • The site remained unknown except to locals until 1911, when it
    was rediscovered by archaeologist Hiram Bingham. The site can
    only be reached by foot, train or helicopter; most visitors visit by
    train from nearby Cusco.
    Chichen Itza (Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico)
    •The genius and adaptability of Mayan culture can
    be seen in the splendid ruins of Chichen Itza.
    •This powerful city, a trading center for cloth, slaves,
    honey and salt, flourished from approximately 800 to
    1200, and acted as the political and economic hub of the
    Mayan civilization.
    •The most familiar ruin at the site is El Caracol, a
    sophisticated astronomical observatory.
    The Roman Colosseum
    (Rome)
    • Rome's, if not Italy’s, most enduring icon is
    undoubtedly its colosseum . Built between
    A.D. 70 and 80 A.D., it was in use for some
    500 years.
    • The elliptical structure sat nearly 50,000
    spectators, who gathered to watch the
    gladiatorial events as well as other public
    spectacles, including battle reenactments,
    animal hunts and executions.
    • Earthquakes and stone-robbers have left the
    Colosseum in a state of ruin, but portions of
    the structure remain open to tourists, and its
    design still influences the construction of
    modern-day amphitheaters, some 2,000 years
    later.
    Taj Mahal (Agra, India)
    • A mausoleum commissioned for the wife of Mughal Emperor
    Shah Jahan, the Taj Mahal was built between 1632 and
    1648.
    • Considered the most perfect specimen of Muslim art in India,
    the white marble structure actually represents a number of
    architectural styles, including Persian, Islamic, Turkish and
    Indian.
    • The Taj Mahal also encompasses formal gardens of raised
    pathways, sunken flower beds and a linear reflecting pool.
    Petra
    (Jordan)
    • Declared a World Heritage Site in 1985, Petra was the capital
    of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV, and likely existed
    in its prime from 9 B.C. to A.D. 40.
    • The members of this civilization proved to be early experts in
    manipulating water technology, constructing intricate tunnels
    and water chambers, which helped create an pseudo-oasis.
    • A number of incredible structures carved into stone, a 4,000-
    seat amphitheater and the El-Deir monastery have also helped
    the site earn its fame.
