Wasn’t that place regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World? We don’t require such lists anymore. The known world is too big to limit the top to only seven.
Could be, there was some kind of poll taken to build a new Seven Wonders list, since the only surviving one from the alleged ancient list is the Great Pyramid. The rotunda of the Library of Congress should be on such a list, along with the Pantheon in Rome, and the so called Treasury of Atreus from Mycenaean Greece (it existed during the ancient era, but hadn't been looted at that time, so was unknown). Hmm, all are domes, maybe I need to build a Seven Domed Wonders list...
Ah, here we go, the New Seven Wonders, which has eight items (they threw Zahi Hawass a bone and gave the Great Pyramid an honorable mention):
Great Wall of China
Petra
Christ the Redeemer (statue in Brazil)
Machu Picchu
Chichen Itza
Colosseum
Taj Mahal
Great Pyramid of Giza (honorary candidate)
