Yes, the Great Wall of China was voted one of the new seven wonders of the world. The new seven wonders of the world were finally announced in Lisbon on Saturday. Not everybody was happy with the results. In the end, of course, it was a popularity contest. Not a single site from North America was selected.
By midnight on Friday, the number of people who had cast their ballots had risen to 100 million. The winners are: the Great Wall of China, the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, Brazil's Christ the Redeemer statue, Machu Picchu in Peru, the Mayan city of Chichén Itzá in Mexico, Rome's Colosseum and India's Taj Mahal.
See them all here.
