The 7 Ancient Wonders:

The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
The Colossus of Rhodes
The Lighthouse of Alexandria

(Only the pyramid survives).

The 7 Modern Wonders:

Stonehenge
Colosseum
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa
Great Wall of China
Porcelain Tower of Nanjing
Hagia Sophia
Leaning Tower of Pisa

All of the wonders are usually large buildings or constructions that represent the greatest achievement of a particular culture.

The Hollywood sign and King Kong are just commercial products, basically. They may be recognized as great historical signposts of popular, or cinematic culture, but they stand out more as innovations, rather than grand achievements in human history.

I think they should expand the number of wonders for we have increased the ability of wonders by the age and time. Anything that is so beautiful like the arts and buildings of the ancients should all be included including the Grand Canyon a natural wonder as well. Or Niagara Falls?
