Farouq Hosni on the New Wonders of the World
http://www.kuna.net.kw/home/Story.aspx?Language=en&DSNO=940167
"Egyptian Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni reasserted on Sunday that the Pyramids of Giza remained the greatest and most magnificent among the World's Seven Wonders, ruling out possibility of a re-vote on a new list of world wonders. "It is meaningless to re-vote on the Pyramids as a world wonder, as the Pyramids stand as a miracle in terms of architecture, engineering, astronomy, and astrology," Hosni told reporters here.Over thousands of years, the Pyramids defied erosions and earthquakes, he underscored.The minister deemed the proposed vote on a new list of the world's seven wonders as a pursuit for fame by sponsors of the idea who do not recognize the historical status and archaeological value of the Pyramids."
