There's a few on their list that surprise me. It kind of gets me that these 21 places that they say are "wonders" are recent architecture. How can you compare the pyramids in Egypt or the Great Wall of China to the Sydney Opera House, the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower?
A couple interesting facts though, of the original 7 wonders compiled 500 years ago only one is in exsistance today (pyramids).

However, if some of the original wonders had survived today, such as the Hanging Gardens of Baylon and the Temple to Diana, I suspect we'd be underwhelmed compared to what had been achieved in the next two thousand years. The pyramids were a step above most of those other ancient wonders.
The Statue of Liberty in the same category as The Acropolis, Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, and Hagia Sophia????? NOT!!
