Be Part of History

This year we get a chance to become part of the very essence of something historical. There's a global vote going on (the first ever on such a scale) for the New Seven Wonders of the World. Voting ends on July 6, 2007 so time is running short. There's been participation in some from or another from every country in the world - people can vote online or by phone. Even youngsters are getting in on the chance to be part of something that will have a lasting impact on how historical landmarks are considered in the future.

The candidates are: The Acropolis, Stonehenge, The Great Wall of China, The Easter Island Statues, Timbuktu, Petra, Alhambra, The Taj Mahal, The Statue of Liberty, The Eiffel Tower, The Colosseum, Angkor Wat, The Kremlin/St. Basil Cathedral, Chichen Itza, The Christ Redeemer Statue of Rio de Janiero, Hagia Sophia, Kiyomizu Temple, Machu Piccu, Castle Neuschwanstein, and the Sydney Opera house... the Pyramids at Giza have a special, non-contested position.

Get your vote in while you still can - and encourage your friends to be part of this historical event. Then you can say "I helped pick those!"
