And they are: The Great Wall of China, Rome's Colosseum, India's Taj Mahal, Peru's Machu Picchu, Brazil's Statue of Christ Redeemer, Mexico's Chichen Itza pyramid and Jordan's Petra.

Believe it or not, it's estimated that 100 million votes were cast originating from every country in the world (I wonder who in Barbados was contacted!!), to select these new wonders! Hmm.. I've never actually thought about visiting any of these though.. that's a definitely a thought for the future.

For the video of this news check Yahoo!, for some other info check Wikipedia or if you wan all the info on it, the official New 7 Wonders site is your best bet.
