This list of seven wonders is a list that has been continuously compiled over ages now, to catalogue the most splendid constructions done by mankind in this world. Earlier it was a list drawn from the guide books of popular Hellenic sight seers and mainly include the constructions done near the Mediterranean region.

The ancient Greeks were the ones who used to list down all the marvelous constructions in the world and there were actually many more than seven structures that were listed in it. The number 7 wonders was chosen as it was considered magical by the Greeks.

There were also cases when many of such lists drawn were agreed on 6 rather than 7 structures. Since it was the Greeks who made the lists and hence it is not surprising to see many of Greek structures in these earlier lists. Structures like the Great wall of China would have been included in these earlier lists if only the Greeks would have seen them as they were far off from their world.

If told it will be a surprise to many people that the current Seven Wonders of the World didn’t even existed at the same time as many of them didn’t survived through the passage of time. Even a traveler coming from the past would require a time machine to browse through all the structures.

Today, we have emails thrown up in our inboxes to vote for the Seven Wonders of the World as the organization who is in charge to announce these wonders of the world leaves it to the people to decide about the ranking for Seven Wonders of the World. The current Seven Wonders of the World have been elected by more than 100 million votes from around the world. These structures are without a ranking and are presented as the 7 wonders of the world in a group. Currently the group has the following as the seven structures chosen to be the Seven Wonders of the World:

Chic henitza, Mexico

Taj Mahal

Petra, Jordan

Christ Reedemer, Brasil

Colosseum, Italy

Great wall of China

Machu picchu, Peru.
