The 7 modern wonders

These wonders were announced in Lisbon, Portugal in the year 2007.
The ancient wonders were almost all gone, so it was time for a new list.
Millions of people have voted and the following modern wo nders of the
world have emerged

1. GREAT WALL OF CHINA 2. THE ROMAN COLOSSEUM

3. CHRIST THE REDEEMER STATUE 4. MACHU PICCHU
5. TAJ MAHAL 6. CHICHEN ITZA
7. PETRA
Follow the paragraphs and give the order of your interest into the chart
above:

1. In New York they have the Liberty Statue, in Rio de Janeiro they have a gigantic Christ
statue. The statue stands on the seven hundred meters high mountain Corcovado
and symbolizes the universality of the Christian message, but also the warmth of the
Brazilian people.

2. Nowhere else on earth can you find such a well-preserved Inca city as Machu Picchu.
The ancient city is located at over 2000 meters’ altitude near the town of Cusco.

3. The Great Wall is located in the north of China and is about 6200 kilometers long. The
structure is more than 2000 years old and was used to keep wandering armies from
the north out.

4. Chichen Itza is a city of the Mexican Maya people and is best known for the Pyramid
of Kukulcan.

5. Perhaps the most famous and most accessible world wonder for Europeans. The
Colosseum is a huge theater in the ancient city of Rome that dates back to the time
of the Romans. Also battles between gladiators have been held here.

6. The Taj Mahal is not a temple as is often thought, but a burial monument. It was built
in 1632 by the Muslim emperor Shah Jahan, in honor of his deceased wife Mumtaz
Mahal. On her deathbed he promised to have a building built that would be just as
beautiful as she was (my heart, omg).

7. This spectacular sandstone city was made by a relatively unknown ancient folk: The
Nabateans. Unbelievable how these people could turn red rocks into immense
houses, tombs and churches 2,000 years ago.
