When visit Rome in Italy,Isaw the great ruin museum where christian,jews savagely tortured ,fed to the animals alive and burn.I think this open up the mind of the next generation to come,instead of that nonesense history to be memorialize.

Dear Adrienne, I think that The Great Wall of China should be on the list of the Seven Wonders of the World. There is certainly nothing else like it and it is an ancient structure. If other ancient structures like the Acropolis make the list then I don't see why the Great Wall should not be part of it. It will be interesting to finally find out what structures have been chosen. We will have to wait until July 7th.

Just a small point but isn't 221-206 BC much earlier than 6 BC not "much later"?
Recent estimates say that the wall is about 1/3 of its original length due to robbing for building material and demolition for new roads. Its was 10,000 Li which is about 5,000 miles but so much of it is barely more than a few feet tall it's no longer a wall.

Unnamed Sources claim that China is also hoping to have Chairman Mao listed on the "Stevie Wonders of the World" Top Ten List.

In response to one of the comments above, the text of the blog was changed to reflect the fact that parts of the wall were built as early as 300 B.C.

Thanks for your comments, Petra Cahill, World Blog editor

It's OK any time I can be of help.
I feel I should also point out that much of the wall has been restored to the point that now it has almost been replaced completely. I hope the wall does get in the "seven wonders" list as it is still an incredible sight.

Yes, the Great Wall is a thing to marvel at. To the person who mentioned the ruin musesum in Rome. Ah! Unless I am not mistaken its call the Colosseum.

How about giving the statues of Easter Island a chance to be one of the seven wonders. I have never been there, but families have told me that it's beautiful and mystical the statues look

I think the great wall will be on the list of the 7 wonders.Nothing compares the beauty on it just like the Machu Pichu. It's been there for years. I like the Pyramid in Egypt too. The history of Eiffel tower,and the Taj Mahal of India.

As a student studying in abroad in China right now, I am unbelievably happy that the Great Wall made it onto the list. Restored or not, it is still a marvel to look at. I found it amazing as I climbed it (and yes...climb...most portions are etremely steep!) I found myself in tears because I realized that I was stepping on the same 'ground' as so many other people, ancient militaries, etc. It's an amazing feeling. And as a native Carioca (person from Rio de Janeiro) I am also even more ecstatic about our Cristo being a Wonder of the World.
