what makes these so special?
no technological innovation, no grand scale, nothing so special.

where is the eurotunnel?
not even ONE bridge??
not one skyscraper?

just idiotic competition for a marketing gimic in my eyes.
maybe "7 touristic wonders" is more like it.

What makes skyscrapers or bridges so special?
Theres thousands of them all over the world.
Most of them will end up demolished one day to make way for something else. Dont see whats so special about them.

^ I totally agree + they have not been tested in time yet.
Will people consider them masterpieces in ...let's say 1000 years?
I don't think so.

You think that it was something easy building the Pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the Acropolis, the Petra town, the Hagia Sophia etc and with such accuracy?
I think they would have been considered masterpieces/wonders even if they had been built nowadays ,not so many years ago...
