New 7 Wonders of the World

...
EgyptEgyptian commentators viewed it as competition to the status of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only surviving monument of the original [/color]Ancient Wonders. "This is probably a conspiracy against Egypt, its civilization and monuments", wrote editorialist Al-Sayed al-Naggar in a leading state-owned daily. Egyptian Culture Minister Farouq Hosni said the project was "absurd" and described its creator, Weber, as a man "concerned primarily with self-promotion". Nagib Amin, an Egyptian expert on World Heritage Sites, has pointed out that "in addition to the commercial aspect, the vote has no scientific basis."
After the complaints from Egypt, the New7Wonders Foundation designated the Pyramids of Giza — the only remaining of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World — as an Honorary New7Wonders Candidate, and removed them from the voting. However the Great Pyramid of Giza is not featured in their official results .
BrazilIn Brazil there was a campaign Vote no Cristo (Vote for the Christ) which had the support of private companies, namely telecommunications operators that stopped charging voters to make telephone calls and SMS messages to vote.[10] Additionally, leading corporate sponsors including Banco Bradesco and Rede Globo spent millions of reais in the effort to have the statue voted into the top seven.[2] Newsweek reports the campaign was so pervasive that:[2]
One morning in June, Rio de Janeiro residents awoke to a beeping text message on their cell phones: "Press 4916 and vote for Christ. It's free!" The same pitch had been popping up all over the city since late January—flashing across an electronic screen every time city-dwellers swiped their transit cards on city buses and echoing on TV infomercials that featured a reality-show celebrity posing next to the city's trademark Christ the Redeemer statue.
—Elizabeth Dwoskin, NewsweekAccording to an article in Newsweek, around 10 million Brazilians had voted in the contest by early July.[/color][2] This number is estimated as the New7Wonders Foundation never released such details about the campaign.
PeruAn intensive campaign led by the Peruvian Ministry of Commerce and Tourism in Peru had a great impact in the media and consequently Peruvian people voted massively for its national wonder. The announcement of the new World Wonders generated great expectation and the election of Machu Picchu was celebrated nationwide, especially in Cusco's main square and in Lima where PresidentAlan García hosted a ceremony.
ChileThe Chilean representative for Easter Island's Moais, Alberto Hotus, said that the organizer Bernard Weber gave him a letter saying that the Moais had finished eighth and were morally one of the New Seven Wonders. Hotus said he was the only participant to receive such an apology.[11]
IndiaA campaign to publicize the campaign in India gathered speed and it reached a climax in July 2007 with news channels, radio stations, and many celebrities asking people to vote for the Taj Mahal.
JordanQueen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan joined the campaign to back Petra, Jordan's national treasure.[2]Despite Jordan only having a population of under 7 million people, it has been claimed that over 14 million votes were made from the country.[2] This number is estimated as the New7Wonders Foundation never released such details about the campaign.
MexicoThere was a campaign on the news programs to encourage people to vote for Chichen Itzá.[/b][/color][/size][/font]
