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.
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.
When lists like this come out, it's generally to celebrate all things non-Western, non-Judeao-Christian.
That's not to say that Giza, Stonehenge, and Greco-Roman accomplishments shouldn't be on the list.
