The decision of which of the option is quite difficult; because the entire are wonderful and deserve one place in the history of the humanity, however, I need to take a decision and at final I decide that the best are:
1. The pyramid at Chitchen Itza.
2. Statues of Easter Island.
3. The Great Wall of China
4. Machu Pichu
5. Statue of Liberty
6. Stonehenge
7. Timbuktu.
1. The pyramid at Chitchen Itza: Located between Merida and Cancun, Mexico. In my country there is part of the Mayas ruins, so I believe that they deserve one especial place in the history. The place is over 1500 years old, and was constructed according to the astronomical alignment that coincides with the rising and setting of the sun and Venus planet sacred by the dwellings of the city. The place is involved of mystery especially the cenotes place of sacrifices. The Scientifics don’t conclude still why they disappear?
2. Statues of Easter Island: Famous archeological place located in the Pacific Ocean at the west of the coast of Chile is considered one most remote inhabited island. I chose this option; because, have many features that conquest me; although, I have never been there. This astonishing place is the only evidence of the existence of the Polynesian system writing. The stone monuments are located near of abyss where you can observe the sea. The monuments are heads with elongated noses and ears, these monuments are entire without joints and was made by volcanic stone that weight almost 27 tons each one. Scientifics claims that this civilization attained a technological level of Neolithic societies anywhere in the world. This extraordinary society developed, flourished and persisted for perhaps more than one thousand years! It is not astounding how they achieve this without technology? This place deserves an extraordinary place in the history!
3. The Great Wall of China: The Great Wall of China, with more than 6700 kilometers of large! Evocative of a colossal dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus. With a history of more than 2000 years. The effort that the Chinese people made in order to construct it are incredible without technology it was so hard. The architectural majesty and historical significance of the Great Wall of China are enough to occupy one honored space in the history of the humanity. Moreover, it can be seeing from the moon! amazing isn’t it?
4. Machu Pichu: -The lost city of the Incas- Enclave in the Andean mountain the stone structures seem mysterious and beautiful. The stone of gray granite used came from the top of the mountain and there is not evidence that they used the wheel to transport it. How do you imagine that they attained it? Also, some of the structure weight more than 50 tons or more! And are sculpted with precision and fitted together with amazing accuracy that even a thin knife can not be introduced. It is not incredible? Also this ruin was an astronomical observatory! This site appeals to me because I’m surprised how at the time that they live showed this type of advances.
5. Statue of Liberty: The meaning that the Statue of Liberty has is wonderful; Therefore, is a message that should endure trough the time. Is the main reason why I choose this place Also, because this huge structure is a great example of engineering. The statue of liberty which is draped female figure, with one arm upraised, sustain a torch, and while the other holds an inscribed tablet, and having upon the head a diadem shown a perfect equilibrium. I am not be in this place yet, but I’m planning to visit it when my family come to USA, so I will be pleased to know a place that have the potential to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. Maybe whether this place is designed as one of seven wonders I will say that Not only visit the place but also contribute with my vote!
6. Stonehenge: This surprising place was constructed around 3200 BC and consists in standing stones that form circle. I chose this place because ancient places that were constructed without technology vanquish me! This impressive example of engineering accomplishment, requested assurance, time and enormous amounts of manual labor. Imagine! That the ditch was dug with tools made from the antlers of red deer and, possibly, wood. They shoveled with the shoulder blades of cattle. The stones were bringing 240 miles away each one weight up 4 tons, and they used almost 80 in one circle. How they transported the stones? The purpose of this construction is sill a mystery. Stonehenge is a breathtaking place and deserve to a place of honor in the history.
7. Timbuktu: Astonishing place! Not only the name has a remarkable meaning but also the place is significant by itself. I choose this place because the purpose of this place in ancient time was education, and was a university located in Sahara desert! Students associated themselves with a single teacher studied religion, logic, astronomy and history. Is one place that I like to know for the legacy that they gave us. Like the other places this place too merits to become in one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
