We have known that on the ancient list of seven wonder we could find Borobudur Temple as a Group of Seven Wonders of The World. But as Bernard Weber, from New Seven wonder Foundation conducted polling through Internet and Cellphone to revise a new list of Seven Wonder of The World, Borobudur Temple was not included again as a Group of Seven Wonders of The World. The resulted of this polling was announced on 07 July 2007 in Lisbon.
As your update here are The New List of Seven Wonders :
1. Chichen Itza in Yucatán, Mexico
2. Christ the Redeemer in Brazil
3. Colosseum in Rome, Italy
4. Great Wall of China, in China
5. Machu Picchu, in Peru
6. Petra, in Jordan
7. Taj Mahal, in India
And last as honorary status, Giza Pyramid Complex in Cairo, Egypt.
Why one of magnificent architecture from Sailendra Dynasty removed from this list?
Because polling conducted through Internet and Cellphone most participant come participant who have internet and this list was not reflect the participant of the entire world. We have seen that there was no campaign and publication regarding this polling in our country. There was no volunteer encourage us to vote our Borobudur Temple like in Brazil, In Brazil there was a morning beeping on cellphone for people there to vote Christ the Redeemer. I also worried that other countries that not included on ancient list then become included on new list did the same campaign like in Brazil.
But the list was not very important for us if we aware with our great value cultural heritage that has to be conserved. Moreover The Borobudur Temple had become the list of ancient seven wonders that might hard to forget.
The UNESCO that had no linked with The New Seven Wonder Foundation also said that to protect places that have cultural value simple making a new list not help their aim.
Kinda regards,
