However, since march last year, so many World Wonders - Natural, Ancient and otherwise - have been off limits to visitors. With a new start to international travel, is it time we pick a new list of World Wonders to visit? The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were picked by Greek philosopher Philo, referring to the places as Themata [ θεάματα] - literally 'sights to see'. In 2000, due to the decrepit state of the Ancient World Wonders, a set of Seven New World Wonders were picked to mark the new Millenium. In 2008 a set of seven natural wonders were drawn up to promote the protection of our planet.
