The American Society of Civil Engineers compiled this list as the Seven Wonders of the modern world:
-Channel Tunnel,-CN Tower in Toronto,- the Empire State Building,- Golden Gate Bridge,-Itaipu Dam on the Parana River,-Delta Works in the Netherlands, and the Panama Canal.
The new seven wonders is being voted on now, it is going to consist mostly of ancient monuments, but maybe some newer ones like the statue of Liberty, or the Sidney Opera House.

Seven Wonders of the Ancient World:
The earliest extant version of a list of seven wonders was compiled by Antipater of Sidon, who described the structures in a poem around 140 BC. They are: 1-Great Pyramid of Giza, 2- Hanging Gardens of Babylon. 3- Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, 4- Statue of Zeus at Olympia, 5- Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus, 6- Colossus of Rhodes & 7- Lighthouse of Alexandria
In November 2006 the American national newspaper USA Today in conjunction with the American television show Good Morning America revealed a list of "New Seven Wonders" as chosen by six judges. The wonders were announced one per day over a week on Good Morning America. An "eighth wonder" was chosen on November 24 from viewer feedback. They are:
1 Potala Palace (Lhasa, Tibet)
2 Old City of Jerusalem (Israel)
3 Polar ice caps (Polar regions)
4 Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Monument (Hawaii, United States)
5 Internet (N/A)
6 Mayan ruins (Yucatán Peninsula, Mesoamerica)
7 Great Migration of Serengeti and Masai Mara (Kenya and Tanzania)
In early 2006 an initiative was started by Swiss organization New Open World Corporation (NOWC) to choose the New Seven Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments (ongoing).Twenty-one finalists were announced January 1, 2006. The results will be announced on 7 July 2007.
