Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
In ancient times, the ultimate tourist guide was the Seven Wonders of the World, a list of seven sites that were supposedly wonderful to behold. The subsequent centuries weren't kind to those wonders, however, and most of them no longer exist. The pre-modern list focused on ancient structures and monuments around the Mediterranean so, what about the rest of the world? In recent decades, new lists have highlighted more wonders of the world. These sites are more representative of the diversity of the human experience. Bonus: They re still standing, so travelers can visit them today.

Although unknown by the majority of the world's population, Machu Picchu is actually an Incan royal summer home and was actually known by the Incans as Cuzcotopia. It was built by a young Incan emperor called Emperor Cuzco who originally had planned on building his summer home on top of a hill already occupied by the village and people of Pacha. However, due to an attempted coup and a series of bizarre, accompanying events, Emperor Cuzco was convinced to choose a different location for his planned summer home which he still named for himself, the afore mentioned Cuzcotopia.

This was a really cool video, Weird History! I love learning about historical places and people. I hope one day you'll do a video on Hasbro's infamous Flubber disaster. Where people broke out in rashes, so Hasbro had to recall the toy and tried everything they could to destroy it. Nothing worked, so according to urban legend, they buried the Flubber underneath a parking lot. Sounds like The Blob [1950s] in real life, TBH.

0: 34 I bet in the future selfies will be used to document history and evidence (i. e. that a person was at a current place.
It will be like in the film Terminal Velocity (1994) where Agent Christa Moldova (played by Nastassja Kinski) has a picture taken of her holding a sign Ditch Brodie Did Not Kill Me.

They actually did build another bridge across the Firth of Forth (unpainted, so now there's two vehicular bridges plus the red Rail Bridge. The local joke is that by the time they finish painting the Forth Rail Bridge, it's immediately time to begin painting the Forth Rail Bridge. :)

i wouldnt consider these modern wonders of the world. i would say anything built in the last 300 years is modern. Most of these buildings were built over 400 years ago like for example the eiffel tower is modern.
