Thanks for the full list.

I wouldn't mind visiting most of these, not one bit. Not optimistic about my chances though.

However, I don't know that I'd pick any of them if I had to pick the Seven Wonders.

I was just looking at your site, in particular, searching for reference to the 30,000 ton funeral monument from (I think) medieval China. Just wondering if there are photos of it, could be a candidate for one of the wonders. :')
