New 7 World Wonders: Unesco not happy

The New7Wonders organization has announced the New 7 Wonders of the World.

This was the first ever global election, with 100 million people voting by Internet or telephone.

The top seven include:

The Great Wall of China
Taj Mahal - India
Machu Picchu - Peru
Statue of Christ Redeemer - Brazil
Colosseum - Rome
Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza - Mexico

But everybody is not happy with the list.

UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) slammed the selections, as reported today on news.com.au out of Sydney, Australia.
