These include: Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the Great Wall, the Colosseum, Machu Picchu in Peru, Stonehenge and: the Easter Island Statues." The New Seven Wonders initiative began in 2000 with half the profits from the project, which includes lucrative TV deals, to be used in restoring and preserving monuments around the world. Winners to be announced 1/1/2007.
