In the year of 2000, Swiss foundation launched a campaign for deciding the seven Wonders of the World from 200 existing monuments. The list was announced in the year 2007, where some couldn't make it into the seven. Winners are the Great Pyramid of Giza at Egypt, the Great Wall of China, Petra of Ma'an in Jordan, Colosseum at Rome in Italy, Chichen Itza of Mexico, Machu Picchu of Peru, Taj Mahal in India and Christ the Redeemer of Brazil. The pyramid was given an honorable status because it was an only surviving from the original wonders of ancient world. The Great Wall was a man-made 4000 miles long wall built for protection from Mongol invasion. Colosseum is an elliptical structure which can accommodate about fifty thousand spectators mainly animal hunts. Taj Mahal is considered a special monument which reflects Muslim artistic skills. Petra contains the remnants of a civilization and declared to be World's heritage site. More details can be obtained from the PowerPoint presentation.
