You probably remember the poll for new 7 wonders! Over 100 million people voted for new 7 wonders by internet and text messages for new 7 wonders from 20 finalists! i’ve mentioned the names at the end of post.
But there is something news happening with them! the founder of the poll is doing something that himself admits to be CRAZY! he is planning to send 3D photos of the wonders on a golden disk to outer space!!! you might ask why?! here’s the answer from Bernard Weber - the founder - himself:
“I think it would be worthwhile to conserve this memory at the beginning of the third millennium in the best possible way and make sure that even if the world gets destroyed, it will be retained somewhere. As a first step we plan to have three-dimensional photographic measurements taken (of the seven wonders) so that we can preserve them forever. Of course, it’s a bit of a crazy idea, but I think it will inspire people.”
Weber also said that he’s going to start new polls for ‘Seven Natural Wonders’ and then the ‘Seven Technical Wonders’!
Here’s the list of new 7 wonders if you’ve missed them:
