Marrant cette volonté de faire de nouvelles "merveilles du monde".

Surtout qu'une très grande partie de ces sites sont déjà classés au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité de l'UNESCO...

3-The Pyramids of Giza (je n'ai pas pu voter pour car y-avait rien pour cocher sous ce nom )

Peut être parcequ'il ne reste que les pyramides encore visibles des "anciennes" merveilles du monde...

Et puis bon... on a le choix entre 20 propositions... comme s'il n'y avait que 20 sites dans le monde qui mériteraient ce titre

Et si tu veux, tu peux (et les autres aussi) nous donner tes 7 merveilles du monde, ou tes endroits merveilleux que tu voudrais voir un jour
Du coup, on peut même élargir aux sites naturels et non se limiter aux constructions humaines

je crois que dans le terme 'Merveille du monde' on ne retient que les constructions humaines.

Et puis bon... on a le choix entre 20 propositions... comme s'il n'y avait que 20 sites dans le monde qui mériteraient ce titre

The New7Wonders Foundation & Campaign

The New7Wonders Foundation, which is the body behind the New7Wonders campaign, has the express aim of documenting, maintaining, restoring and reconstructing world heritage under the motto:


"OUR HERITAGE IS OUR FUTURE."

The New7Wonders Foundation calls on all citizens of the world to support it. Through film, television, the Internet and books, people shall be alerted to the destruction of nature and the decay of our man-made heritage. Monuments in jeopardy, perhaps in a dangerous state of decay, can be saved by publicizing their beauty and highlighting their plight to the international community.


The Foundation was created in 2001 by Swiss adventurer Bernard Weber, with a mission to protect humankind's heritage across the globe. The initial stages of the New7Wonders campaign were financed by Weber himself, aided by a small number of committed N7W Members. You, too, can join these members, who remain firmly committed to the project and its aims to this day. All N7W members have the right to a listing on the N7W Memorial Wall.

Fifty percent of all net revenue raised by the New 7 Wonders Project is to be used to fund restoration efforts worldwide. One such project is the mission to re-create the giant Bamiyan Buddha statue in Afghanistan, which was featured in the Swiss Pavilion along with the New 7 Wonders project at the 2005 World Fair in Japan.

The Foundation, which is based at the Heidi-Weber-Museum in Zurich, Switzerland (an architectural landmark in itself, as the last building designed by renowned architect Le Corbusier), is now well advanced in its aims, with many milestones already reached.

Now, the N7W campaign is in its most exciting, and crucial, stage.

At the end of 2005, the N7W panel chose 21 candidates from the top 77 nominees that had earned the most votes, and these 21 are now in the final stage of the competition. The official N7W 21 finalist candidates were announced by the panel's President, Prof. Federico Mayor, on January 1, 2006 in Zurich.

The final round of voting for the New 7 Wonders will continue through the first half of 2007. Then, on July 7, 2007 -07.07.07, the dream of the N7W initiators will become a reality as the globe joins together to celebrate the New 7 Wonders of the World, as chosen by the world's population using modern communications technology.

You can join the N7W Society now. Become an official part of this dynamic community and support this historic project.

... be a part of the making of history !


The New 7 Wonders of the World will be announced during the Official Declaration ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal on Saturday, July 7, 2007 - 07.07.07.
