  1. Well there are many lists with 7 wonders.

    There is the medieval, natural, and new wonders. It looks like you mean the new wonders of the world.

    It looks like the 7th one you're looking for is Machu Pichu.


  2. Stonehenge

    Colosseum

    Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

    Great Wall of China

    Porcelain Tower of Nanjing

    Hagia Sophia

    Leaning Tower of Pisa  

  3. The traditional list, though not the first or last was made by Philo of Byzantium, and written in 225 BC in his work "On the Seven Wonders". Earlier & later lists, written by the historian Herodotus (484 BC–ca. 425 BC), and the architect Callimachus of Cyrene (ca 305–240 BC) at the Museum of Alexandria, survive only as references. The later version of a list of seven wonders was compiled by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures in a poem around 140 BC:

    1. Great Pyramid of Giza

    2. Hanging Gardens of Babylon

    3. Statue of Zeus at Olympia

    4. Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

    5. Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus

    6. Colossus of Rhodes

    7. Lighthouse of Alexandria

    These are the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

    Medieval World:

    Stonehenge

    Colosseum

    Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa

    Great Wall of China

    Porcelain Tower of Nanjing

    Hagia Sophia

    Leaning Tower of Pisa

    Taj Mahal

    Cairo Citadel

    Ely Cathedral

    In 2001 an initiative was started by Swiss corporation New Open World Corporation (NOWC) to choose the New Seven Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments for profit.Twenty-one finalists were announced January 1, 2006.Egypt was not happy with the fact that the only original wonder would have to compete with the likes of the Statue of Liberty, the Sydney Opera House, and other landmarks; and called the project absurd. To solve this, Giza was named an honorary Candidate.The results were announced on July 7, 2007 in Benfica's stadium in a big ceremony in Lisbon, Portugal,and are:

    Great Wall of China

    Petra

    Christ the Redeemer

    Machu Picchu

    Chichen Itza

    Roman Colosseum

    Taj Mahal

    Great Pyramid
