As much as I love the Statue of Liberty, I don't think it should be picked. Large statues are nothing new and the technology was around quite a while before the Statue of Liberty (and definitely the Jesus statue in Rio) were produced.
How about this suggestion . . . the U.S. Constitution? It was very novel at the time, but has carried on quite well and has been the model for many nations since.
The U.S. Constitution . . . "It takes a lickin', but keeps on tickin'!"

#22 - Buddhas of Bamiyan
Oh, whoops, Islamic extremists destroyed that one... just like they'd like to destroy everyone other one of these that doesn't represent Sharia Law.
:-P

These are all such intellectual locations.
It seems to me places people consider really wonderful should be on it. Whar are the top tourist destinations in the world?
And I refuse to consider a list without a NY skyscraper on it. Where is the empire state or chrylser building? They are modern engineering marvels.

That one sickens me. We could have stopped it, too.

Heck, what about Dolly Parton herself, although I don't know if that would be a "natural" wonder.

Whar are the top tourist destinations in the world? I might be wrong but I think that could be Paris, France. Lot of amazing things in that city.
Personally, I think the Space Shuttle and the Stealth Bomber are pretty amazing things.

Petra. Wow.
Sorry for the previous post. I forgot the quotation marks in the HTML.
