Seven wonders of the world, the seven architectural wonders of the ancient world, refer to seven magnificent man-made landscapes in the world known to the eyes of ancient Westerners. The earliest proposition of the Seven Wonders of the World was Antipater, a traveler in the 3rd century BC, and another argument was made by the Byzantine scientist Philo in the 2nd century.

(Seven man-made magnificent landscapes in the ancient world)
Since ancient miracles have been destroyed for a long time, they have been proposed again.

Proposed by American Lowell Thomas.
The results of the world s "New Seven Wonders" were announced in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon. The Great Wall of China ranked first in the "New Seven Wonders" with the most votes. In addition to the Great Wall of China, the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, the Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Inca ruins in Machu Picchu, Peru, the Colosseum in Italy, the Mayan ruins in Chichen Itza, Mexico, and the Taj Mahal in India have also been selected as the " New Seven Wonders. "
The world's "New Seven Wonders of the Miracle" selection activity was initiated by the civil organization "New Seven Wonders of the Miracle". The foundation launched a global selection campaign early last year, and selected 7 of the 21 world attractions as "New Seven Wonders" through voting methods such as the Internet, telephone, and mobile phone text messages. Organizers said more than 90 million people voted for the election. Although this selection was not recognized by the authority such as UNESCO, it at least played an active role in protecting the ancient cultural heritage.
As the Egyptian side resolutely opposes listing the pyramid as a candidate for the "New Seven Wonders", the "New Seven Wonders Foundation" has decided to use the pyramid as a candidate for honor instead of voting. The loss of the Acropolis in Greece was unexpected, and the inclusion of the Christ of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in 1931 also surprised many people.
