Step into the past and journey across the globe as we uncover the history, significance, and beauty of the New Seven Wonders of the World. From the towering Great Wall of China to the breathtaking Taj Mahal, each week we’ll explore one of these remarkable landmarks, chosen through a historic global campaign.

In 2000, a Swiss foundation launched an initiative to identify the New Seven Wonders of the World, inspired by the original list from the 2nd century BCE. With only the Pyramids of Giza still standing, it was time for an update. People around the world embraced the idea, casting over 100 million votes online and via text message. The final list of wonders was revealed in 2007, showcasing humanity's enduring creativity and achievement.

In this class, we will:
