07.07.07 was the date of the Declaration Ceremony, held in Lisbon.
People had to nominate for the new 7 wonders of the world before that date, choosing from a wide variety of palaces, buildings, castles and statues in the world that they thought represented global heritage throughout history.
The following candidates were elected: Chichen Itza (Mexico), Christ Redeemer (Brazil), Colosseum (Italy), Taj Mahal (India), the Great Wall of China, Petra (Jordan), and Machu Picchu (Peru).
If you were to vote for one 7 wonder in the modern world, which one would you nominate for? Why? What does it represent for you?
Lots of different places are mentioned here in the recording below. Listen to it and try to understand what the speakers say about some of the buildings, e.g. Stonehenge, Hagia Soffia, Alhambra, Machu Picchu, Timbuktu...
What's the official website the girl says we had to go to in order to vote?
PLease, write your comments about these things!!!! PLZ!!!
