The Eiffel Tower at night!

1* Pyramids of Egypt(Gaza, near Cairo)
The three Great Pyramids of Egypt were built about 4500 years ago.

2* Great Wall of China(Northern China)
It once stretched 5,400 miles across northern China. The best preserved Great Wall sections lie north of Beijing.

3* Taj Mahal(Agra, India)
Many consider the white-marbled Taj Mahal the world's most beautiful building.

4* Machu Picchu (Cuzco, Peru)
Machu Picchu has been called the "Lost City of the Incas". Its Pre-Columbian ruins rest spectacularly on a mountain saddle.

5* Colosseum of Italy(Italy)
One of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Colosseum, Italy: The 50,000-seat amphitheater in Rome
was inaugurated in A.D. 80 and served as the backdrop for thousands of gladiators who dueled to the death.

6* Acropolis of Greece
Acropolis, Greece: This set-in-stone wonder attracts millions of visitors each year to its famed Parthenon and statues of Greek gods and goddesses.

7* City of Petra of Jordan
This ancient city in southwestern Jordan, built on a terrace around Wadi Musa, or Valley of Moses, was the capital of the Arab kingdom of the Nabateans. The city is famous for water tunnels and stone structures carved in the rock.

I feel the ancient architecture and techniques built and thousands of years ago needs to be preserved and has to be taken forward to the next generation.

The ancient World wonders are also built by Man. So I feel ancient things has to be given importance and attention.

- The Great Pyramids of Egypt. (However, some people think it's possible that extra terrestrials may have helped in the building of the Pyramids, in which case it would be a man-made wonder.)
- The Great Wall of China: nearly 4200 miles in length, made up of roughly 3,873,000,000 individual bricks.
- The Petronas Towers: Located in Malaysia, for a long time these were the tallest buildings in the world, but later in 2009 they will be surpassed by the Burj Dubai, in Dubai, which will be almost twice as tall as the Petronas Towers.
- Stonehenge: Stonehenge is proof that the humans of B. C. times were a lot smarter (and physically stronger) than modern people give them credit for. Not only is the circle perfectly aligned with the solstices and equinoxes, but each stone weighs upwards of twenty tons.
- The Taj Mahal: It's like a work of art and a building all at the same time. (It's the most symmetrical building I've ever seen.)
- The Hanging Gardens of Babylon: One of the amazing things about the Gardens of Babylon is (like Stonehenge and the Pyramids) it used enormous slabs of stone that would've taken a LOT of man-power to move. There has been some controversy lately that these gardens may have been nonexistent and that they were actually some sort of metaphor in ancient poetic writings.
- Television: I can't even understand how a television works, and I'm amazed every time I think of the invention of the television. Fact: The first Olympic games to be shown on TV were the 1936 Berlin games.

1.) The Egyptian Pyramids
138 pyramids, each taking approx. 10-20 years to construct served from 2620 BC-1814 BC as stairways for Egyptian pharaohs to reach the heavens. Beautiful.

2.) Roman Colosseum
A spectacular feat of engineering, the Colosseum could seat 50,000 Romans and took about 10 years to construct.

3) Stonehenge (England)
Assuming you believe aliens didn't build it, Stonehenge is a baffling structure that eclipses almost every other man-made structure ever on earth. Built in 2500 BC, it is a beautiful mecca of spirituality and engineering.

4.) Machu Picchu (Peru)
The great, and temporary, Inca structure is still a mystery. It may have served as a prison, as a palace, or an economic forum. No matter what it is a place of grandeur and marvel.

5.) The Great Wall of China
Built from 220-206 BC, the Great Wall extends over 4,000 miles. Let me type that again: 4,000 miles. By 206 BC. Enough said.

6.) The Colossus of Rhodes (Greece)
Helios, the great Greek God, towered over Rhodes back in about 280 BC. The foundation pillars alone were at least 60 ft. in diameter, and the statue by itself was over 107 ft. tall. Can you imagine how they built it with the technology they had back then?

7.) Easter Island and the Moai (Chile)
So you have these giant statues as tributes to dead ancestors. They're built as big as 33 ft. high, weighing as much as 86 tons - all back in 1250-1500 CE. Now, that alone is enough to shout, wowsa! But they MOVED the Moai around the Island, since they were crafted in one spot, and transported to their final display area. To build and transport these, the craftsman had to employ brilliant creativity and have a mastery of engineering.

In no order....

Stonehenge - just a couple of rocks?

Stonehenge, one structure man of today would question a lot about. It seems like some large rocks in one heap but scientists believe it was aligned to the Sun and others believe it was used as a burial ground.

The Internet - a structure...of code

I would say the Internet is something that is a wonder, I doubt anyone could think up of the Internet in one night (comment if you do...) and is one of the most amazing structures. If the Internet were a web, this would be a glimpse of a portion of the internet.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/Internet_map_1024.jpg

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Its quite an impressive structure with an angle of 3.99 degrees. It is unconfirmed who the architect is of the structure.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/Leaning_tower_of_pisa_2.jpg

Burj Dubai

I think we just have to put in the tallest skyscraper and of course, this will always change until another skyscraper passes this one out. It just shows how incredible we are at reaching new heights.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/BurjDubaiJI3.jpg

Pyramids of Giza

These structures are incredible and definitely deserve a place in the 7 Man Made Wonders of the World.

Great Wall of China

The 8,851.8 km wall of China demonstrates the skill of humanity to build. The project lasted centuries and 2/3 million died as a result.

Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal...is an incredible world heritage made of white marble. Shah Jahan had thousands of artisans and craftsmen build the structure for his wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Assuming we are talking about "Wonders" in the traditional sense of historic places and buildings, I'd go for... (in no particular order)...

The Pyramids
Machu Picchu
The Terracotta Warriors
Petra
Pompeii
Karnak
The Colosseum

Most or all of them have been well described in other answers. I'm not sure if Karnak and Pompeii were covered.

Karnak is an enormous temple complex, and was the heart of the ancient Egyptian religion. Probably rivals the Pyramids for sheer scale and grandeur, and shows us a lot more of the culture than the Pyramids do.

Pompeii is fascinating for being a complete ancient city preserved in time by a volcanic explosion. Unlike the other choices it's especially interesting for showing us the everyday lives of people, and how much like us they were.

If we were going to go broader and include all man made things... things like the Hubble Space Telescope might creep into the list. :)
