The 5,000-year-old stones on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, will be up against sites including the Acropolis in Athens; the Statue of Liberty in New York; and the last remaining original wonder, the Pyramids of Giza in Cairo.

Okay, why are they including the Pyramids of Giza in this vote?

Shouldn't they just award them a slot on the basis that it's the only "original wonder" left?
