Did you know that a Switzerland foundation is currently in the process of naming the "New 7 Wonders of the World"? The original list of 200 suggestions was voted on by the public and narrowed to the current 77. Architects then narrowed that to the current list of 21 finalists. The public is again allowed to vote until July 6, 2007. On 7/7/07 the New 7 will be revealed.
This is a great opportunity for a study on both ancient and current wonders. Find information on both, along with tours of the current nominees here http://www.new7wonders.com/ What a great way to study geography and history!
