Answer 1

Mr. pharoah yaser,

I think that the pyramids must be a leading wonder.

PYRAMID [pir e-midz] in architecture, monumental structures having a rectangular, usually square, base and triangular sides meeting in a point. Pyramidal buildings are best known from ancient Egypt, where they were used primarily as royal tombs. The earliest true pyramid is the "northern stone pyramid" at Dahshur, a few miles south of Sakkara. This is thought to have been built by King Snefru, the first king of the 4th Dynasty (c 2600 B.C.).

Construction of Pyramids:

The methods used in constructing the pyramids are still a matter of dispute. However, it is agreed that the stone was quarried and dressed with stone and hardened-copper tools, and raised into position without pulleys through the use of earth embankments or ramps, sledges, and levers. The surface of the stones was dressed after laying. Labor was conscripted, and the men were paid in clothing, food, drink, and oil (to prevent their skin from cracking painfully in the dry Egyptain air). They were housed in barracks or walled towns near the pyramid complex on whhich they were employed. All stages of the porject were supervised by high officials of special competence.

The best-known Egyptian pyramids are the three at Giza. These are built in the 4th Dynasty by the King Khufu (Cheops) and his son Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaure (Mycerinus). The great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest: its base is about 756 ft. on the side and covers 13.1 acres. When complete the pyramid was 481.4 ft. tall. Individual blocks weigh as much as 15 tons, yet the preserved facing blocks are finished so accurately that the cracks between them are nowhere wider than 1/50 in.

The old 7 wonders of the world:

1 Pyramid in Giza
2. The Hanging Garden of Babylon ( Iraq)
3. The Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, Greece
(damage 356. B.C.)
4. Status of Zeus In Olympia, Greece
5. Tomb of Maussolos (Turkey)
6. Great Status in Rhodes
7. Light House at Alexander, Egypt.

I agreed to the Majority of the world who have had voted the new 8 wonders of the world.

Answer 2

First off, I don't think that this movement to identify new wonders has any merit, because that probably means the person who got this thing going, Bernard Whatshisname in Switzerland, couldn't identify the old wonders to save his life. Anyway, to answer your question, yes they should, but don't think for a minute that the age of the pyramids is accurate. People believe they are about 4000+ years old, but they could be a lot older [according to Hancock]. If you look at them from above, they represent the constellation of Orion, and since the importance of the Dog Star Sirius is really high in Egypt [you could use it to predict when the Nile would flood], that can't be considered a mere coincidence. I say leave the original list alone. The other six are, btw,

Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Mausoleum at Halicanarssus
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Temple of Artemis at Epheseus
Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria
Colossus of Rhodes

And finally, it is a shame that 'ol Bernard didn't think to include a modern Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. I was on the Eisenhower, and can tell you that a pissed-off carrier can turn a country into a parking lot.

Answer 3

Definitely, the pyramids should have been among the 7 wonders. It is also notable that there was only one chosen from Europe (the Colosseum) and none from North America.
3 in Latin America?
And then, Petra from Jordan. It's rumored that the Jordanian royal house poured a lot of money on publicity.

Answer 4

their is no proof that Hebrews did the building only in the bible which has been Incorporated and accepted as factual history. The bones have DNA within them none of the DNA has been linked to the Hebrews. the bible is a weak attempt to rewrite history the intellegent know this but those of you who are led like sheep will not listen i know i will be silenced.

but i do agree that they are and should remain a wonder of the world

Answer 5

OH, i cant remember them, but Of course the pyramids should be one of the wonders!!!! It took a long time to build them, and lots of slavery of the Hebrews. It's disrespectful!!!!!

Answer 6

Oh yes and don't forget the sphinx.

Answer 7

I'm glad MachuPiccu made it.
