     @ubik I linked to the list of the New Seven Wonders of the World (TM). Read the article. Your items are not on the list.

     @ubik no, no, and no.

     It would be more efficient if you were to read the Wikipedia article, or just take my word for it, rather than posting questions. I am pretty sure that most objects are not the New Seven Wonders of the World (TM).

     @ubik absolutely. I acknowledge your point that there are many more wonderful things in the world than are listed in the New Seven Wonders of the World (TM).

     @evan I missed the original post with the poll. I blame the Mastodon interface.

     These sites were chosen by a Swiss foundation through online polls in the early 2000s. They are one of many lists of seven (or more) wonders.

     I agree that there are many wonderful things in the world -- maybe even more than eight. I am asking about sites from this list, not all wonderful things.

     There is a Wikipedia article about the New Seven Wonders of the World (TM) and another about wonders lists in general:

     A person living in Rome, on the other side of the road in front of the Colosseo, must be considered a "permanent tourist"?
