I'd have replaced ChichenItza with Angkor Wat and Christ with Easter Island. That Easter Island isn't on there is a huge mistake in my opinion because of all the marvels of the planet that one is easily the most mysterious and haunting.

i think it would have made sense to have a 7 wonders of the ancient world and a 7 wonders of the new word or something like that.
the 7 wonders of the ancient world could be characterized by their mystery and ability to last into the modern era. pyramids, stonehenge, great wall, chinese soldiers, cave paintings etc.
there could be 7 wonders of the middle ages too that would include notre dame, taj mahal etc
modern wonders would include statue of liberty, kremlin, eifel tower, big dig, even christ the redeemer etc.
voting should not have been done by the public. a more appropriate voting would be archaeologists or something.
There are several different lists, including modern and natural wonders.
You also have the Killing Fields which although not that nice I think everyone should see it so they realise how lucky we are.
HAHAHA, THE BIG DIG?
IT'S A WONDER ONLY BECAUSE IT WILL NEVER BE COMPLETELY FINISHED!
