It is shaping up to be a real
big deal worldwide.
Some 50 million people have voted so far in the competition designed to
produce a 21st century list of the world's greatest man-made heritage sites, but
Tia Viering, a spokeswoman for the organization, said the result is wide
open.
I wonder why there is no American sites on the top list though. It might be anti-American rhetoric that bumped Mt. Rushmore, the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty off of the list? However the other sites on the list are pretty impressive though:
The most popular 10 sites so far include both the Taj Mahal and Christ
Redeemer, along with the Colosseum in Rome, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of
China, Peru's Machu Picchu, Petra in Jordan, and the statues of Easter
Island.
