The New Seven Wonders Of The World was an initiative started in 2000 as a Millennium project to choose Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments. The popularity poll was led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation based in Zurich, Switzerland, with winners announced on 7 July 2007 in Lisbon.

The New7Wonders Foundation claimed that more than 100 million votes were cast through the Internet or by telephone. New7Wonders Foundation drove "the largest poll on record".

The Winners

The winners of this competition are

1.      Taj Mahal                                                        Location          Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

2.      Giza Necropolis ( The Great Pyramid of Giza )           Location          Giza, Egypt

3.      Petra                                                    Location          Ma'an Governorate, Jordan

4.      Colosseum                                                       Location          Rome, Italy

5.      Chichen Itza                                                    Location          Yucatán, Mexico

6.      Machu Picchu                                                  Location          Cuzco, Peru

7.      Great Wall Of China                                        Location          China

8.      Christ The Redeemer Statue                             Location          Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The reason why there are eight Wonders here is because The Great Pyramid of Giza is included in both The Seven New wonders and the original Seven Wonders Of The World.
