New 7 Wonders - What a Neat Way to Make Money (none / 0)

Readers might care to take a look at the current (ie. March 2007) issue of hidden europe magazine (http://www.hiddeneurope.co.uk), where there is an article that asks a few pertinant questions about this New 7 Wonders escapade! Is this just a fast way for the Swiss organisers to make money? And might not a modern rendering of the wonders be more than just a listing of tourist hotspots? Those on offer from New 7 Wonders scarcely match the happy ensemble of fair temples and stately sepulchres that featured in the list compiled by Antipater of Sidon in about 140 BC.
