EGYPTCairo rejects new world wonder list Egypt is scoffing at a global contest to name the new seven wonders of the world, saying it's a disgrace that the Pyramids of Giza -- the only surviving structure from the original list of architectural marvels -- must compete for a spot. Top Egyptian officials have lashed out at the popular contest that urges people around the world to vote for their top sites from a list of 21 finalists including the pyramids, Statue of Liberty, Taj Mahal and Peru's Machu Picchu. People can vote for the world wonders on the Internet, by phone or by sending a cellphone text message until July 6. The seven winners will be announced July 7 in Lisbon, Portugal.
