Here in Brazil there was a huge campaign for people to cast votes for the Christ the Redeemer statue. I am glad it made the list.

I am also curious as to why the Statue of Liberty did not make the list.

Agreed. I believe Stonehenge should be on the list too.

Not the Statue of Liberty. Its not a wonder. I like the list as it is.
