There was no vote for the 7 wonders; it's just one guy's opinion versus another's.

Your list wants to place the pyramids, the hanging gardens, the statue of Zeus, the building of Artemis, the mausoleum, the colossus, and the lighthouse as the 7 greatest ancient achievements...

...but I would list the pyramids, the hanging gardens, the Great Wall of China, the Library of Alexandria, the Colossus (or perhaps the Colosseum because it survived), the Taj Mahjal, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria as the 7 greatest ancient wonders.
