世界新七大奇迹世界“新七大奇迹”是中国长城、约旦佩特拉古城、巴西基督像、秘鲁马丘比丘印加遗址、墨西哥奇琴伊查库库尔坎金字塔、意大利古罗马斗兽场、印度泰姬陵。
该评选结果于葡萄牙当地时间2007年7月7日晚上21：30分（北京时间2007年7月8日凌晨）在葡萄牙首都里斯本揭晓，其中，中国万里长城位居第一。
评选结果揭晓后，活动组织者向“新七大奇迹”所在国家的代表颁发纪念证章。
七大奇迹中国长城长城（The Great Wall of China）长城修筑的历史悠久，工程雄伟浩大，长城长城长城东西南北交错，绵延起伏于中国辽阔的土地上。
它像一条巨龙，翻越巍巍群山，穿过茫茫草原，跨过浩瀚的沙漠，奔向苍茫的大海。
根据历史文献记载，有20多个诸侯国家和封建王朝修筑过长城，若把各个时代修筑的长城加起来，大约有10万里以上。
其中秦、汉、明3个朝代所修长城的长度都超过了1万里。
我国新疆、甘肃、宁夏、陕西、内蒙古、山西、河北、北京、天津、辽宁、吉林、黑龙江、河南、山东、湖北、湖南等省、市、自治区都有古长城、烽火台的遗迹。
其中仅内蒙古自治区的长城就达3万多里。
明朝在“外边”长城之外，还修筑了“内边”长城和“内三关”长城。
“内关”长城以北齐所筑为基础，起自内蒙古与山西交界处的偏关以西，东行经雁门关、平型诸关入河北，然后折向东北，经来源、房山、昌平诸县，直达居庸关，然后又由北而东，至怀柔的四海关、与“外边”长城相接，以紫荆关为中心，大致成南北走向。
“内三关”长城在很多地方和“内边”长城并行，有些地方两城相隔仅数十里。
除此以外，还修筑了大量的“重城”。
雁门关一带的“重城”就有24道之多。
“因地形，用险制塞”是修筑长城的一条重要经验，在秦始皇的时候已经把它肯定下来，司马迁把它写入《史记》之中。
以后每一个朝代修筑长城都是按照这一原则进行的。
凡是修筑关城隘口都是非曲直选择在两山峡谷之间，或是河流转折之处。
或是平川往来必经之地，这样既能控制险要，又可节约人力和中国万里长城中国万里长城材料，以达“一夫当关，万夫莫开”的效果。

世界新七大奇迹
世界“新七大奇迹”（中英文对照）1.长城The Great Wall, China. (长城，公元前220年和公元1368年–公元1644年，中国)中国的万里长城是中国古代为抵御蒙古人入侵而建造的，它将已有的单个要塞连成一体，从而形成一个完整的防御体系。
长城是世界上最大的人造工程，也是唯一可以从外太空看到的地球景观。
为了修建巨大的长城，曾有上千万人为此献出了生命。
简而言之－－长城是难以置信的坚毅和恒心的见证.The Great Wall of China was built to link existing fortifications into a united defense system and better keep invading Mongol tribes out of China. It is the largest man-made monument ever to have been built and it is disputed that it is the only one visible from space. Many thousands of people must havegiven their lives to build this colossal construction.2.基督像Christ Redeemer, Brazil. (基督像，1931，里约热内卢，巴西)在里约热内卢的科尔科瓦杜山上有一座基督雕像，高达38米左右，雕像中的基督似乎正深情地俯瞰着美丽的里约热内卢。
这座基督像是由一个叫Heitor da Silva Costa的巴西人和一个叫Paul Landowski 的法国雕刻家分别设计和创造的，是世界上最著名的古迹之一。
巨型雕像的制作共花费了五年时间，最终于1931年10月12日完成了落成典礼。
巨大的基督像张开双臂，似乎正在欢迎来参观的游人。

Christ the Redeemer
Christ the Redeemer colossal statue of Jesus Christ at the summit of Mount Corcovado, Rio de Janeiro, southeastern Brazil. It was completed in 1931 and stands 98 feet (30 metres) tall, its horizontally outstretched arms spanning 92 feet (28 metres). The statue, made of reinforced concrete clad in a mosaic of thousands of triangular soapstone tiles, sits on a square stone pedestal base about 26 feet (8 metres) high, which itself is situated on a deck atop the mountain’s summit. The statue is the largest Art Deco-style sculpture in the world and is one of Rio de Janeiro’s most recognizable landmarks.
Thank you
In the disaster movie "2012" inside the statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro talked about the sinking of the lens. 2016 Olympic Games held in Brazil, it is learned the Olympics special font "T" from Rio de Janeiro, like Jesus. "Rio Adventure" also appeared in the movie Brazil Christ statue. Action movie "Fast Furious 5" also appeared several times as Brazil Christ
In the 1850s the Vincentian priest Pedro Maria Boss suggested placing a Christian monument on Mount Corcovado to honour Isabel, princess regent of Brazil and the daughter of Emperor Pedro II, although the project was never approved. In 1921 the Roman Catholic archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro proposed that a statue of Christ be built on the 2,310-foot (704-metre) summit, which, because of its commanding height, would make it visible from anywhere in Rio. Citizens petitioned Pres. Epitá cio Pessoa to allow the construction of the statue on Mount Corcovado.
