The New 7 Wonders of the World

Today, the New Seven Wonders of the World will be elected, in Lisbon.

The New Seven Wonders of the World is a proposed revision of the Seven Wonders of the World, organized by a Swiss corporation called New Open World Corporation (NOWC). The selection is being made by free and paid votes, through telephone or online. The first vote is free to registered members and additional votes may be purchased through a payment to NOWC.

This will replace the former Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in which Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one still standing up - all the other six wonders have been destroyed.
