I find the Roman Colluseum most impressive. This is because it has held many battles, and survived much of it being pulled off, and is still standing. I also find the Great Wall of China impressive. That is because of how long ago it was built, and how much of it is still standing. Also, I heard that it is still in really good shape. I hope I can visit both of these places sometime in my future.

I agree with you Josie because the great wall of china is still standing today. The people who built the wall must have put a lot of effort into the wall.

I think the Roman Colosseum because it was cool what happened in there. I especially liked the gladiator fights. Also It is sad that so many people had to die in there.

I think the Great Wall of China is the most impressive to me. one way I think that is because it is really long and large. Another reason why I like it so much because it was built so long ago and it is still standing today. I also like it because if you one of the people working there and you died while working, people there would just put you in the wall.

I agree with Princeza. The Great wall took a really long time to make and it shows their determination to keep the Monguls out. It is also a beautiful site to see.

I fee like it's cool and creepy that they put people into the wall. It's cool because they kinda let you live one in such a beautiful creation. It's also creepy because when you walk on The Great Wall of China you are walking over dead bodies.

I think the Taj Mahal is the most impressive. I think it is the most impressive because not many buildings are semtrical on all sides. Also the big refleacting pool is so pretty and is huge.that is why the Taj Mahal is the most impressive.

I agree with you, Liz. The Taj Mahal was very impressive. Although my opinion is not that it is the most impressive, I do feel that it is the most beautiful. Like you said, the symmetry and reflection pool, but also the way it reflects off light. It is kind of creepy that it is a tomb, though.

I agree with you Liz, because the Taj Mahal is very impressive. It seems very interesting that the Taj Mahal was built the same on both sides, and the reflecting pool is very beautiful.

(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ I think the Great Wall of China is the most impressive. They used a large amount of workers and in the wall there are buried workers, whom passed away while working. The wall is extremely long, and it is a jewel in history. ✧゚・: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

i think that the taj mahal is the most impressive out of the 7. i think it the best because it was made of marble and gems. the mosque was made of red sandstone. thats why i think its the most impressive and it might have been hard to get the material.

I agree with you Garett because although the Taj Mahal is really big and is made of marble and red sandstone I bet it was still very had to find the material. I also think many it wasn't worth putting the gems in because they all got stolen but it is still pretty.

I think that the Roman Colosseum is the most impressive. I believe this because it was a huge structure, and even had rooms under it where animals could be released. It was impressive that they were able to build something as complex as the Colosseum so long ago.

I agree with you Angie because it was impressive that they could build a mechanism that could release an animal, from below. Also the prisoners were able to fight for their freedom and entertainment.

But they would put them alone with no weapons and put meat around their necks. I don't think it was a very fair fight.

It was very impressive so I have to agree with you. And it was a huge structure built with only man power.

I find all of the 7 Wonders to be extremely impressive. It amazes me how much these civilizations were able to create without modern technology or machines. But if I had to choose one, I guess I would pick the Roman Colosseum as the most impressive. This stadium is as large as many stadiums today, seating over 50,000 people. In addition to the number of people, it was also said that it could be flooded to hold naval battles. Finally, the engineering of this stadium has allowed for it to last nearly 2,000 years, even after much of the stone was quarried for other buildings after Rome fell.

I think the Great Wall of China is the most impressive. I think it was well protected from enemies. Finally it is still standing today.

I think the most interesting wonder is the Colosseum because even though Rome got sacked the Colosseum still survived with only minor damage. Also the Colosseum is still visited today by tourists. Finally, the Colosseum was used to make prisoners fight for entertainment, and if they won they were freed. So it was kind of like Rome's government.

I agree Danny, I find it surprising by how good in shape the Colosseum is with everything that has happened there. I also like how you said it's like Rome's government, that's a great way to put it.

I think that the Colosseum is the most interesting. It is very large and it amazes me that they built it with the limited tools they had.

I think the Machu Picchu was the most exciting. It looks nothing like I thought it would! To me, I thought it was a town when I saw the picture. I thought the Machu Picchu was a building!

I think the Colosseum is the best. I think it looks very pretty and it makes me want to know more about it just by it's looks. I also thinks it's the best because of all the beatings it has taken by all the battles held in it.

I think the collluseum is the most Impresive because it held many intense battles and was really cool to see at least one person standing at the end.

I think the Colossem is the best of all. It was made with just man power making it really hard to build with all the trap doors. Plus it was built in Rome making it very old.

I think the colosseum is the best. It must have been really hard to build all those trap doors and building all of those seats. It is also such a cool structure and it has been standing for a very long time.

I think the Great Wall of China is the most impressive because it is 5,500 miles long. I also think it is impressive because it was build in B.C. times which meant they didn't have modern advances like we do. The Great Wall of China has also been standing strong for about 2,000 years.

Out of all of the 7 wonders, I still think Taj Mahal is my favorite. One, it is perfectly symmetrical. Two, the Sun and Moonlight reflect off the white marble. And three, the inside has natural light coming through, making it reflecting throughout the walls.

I think the most interesting building was the Taj Mahal. I like the Taj Mahal because of the reflection pool in the front of the building. The building is also symmetrical and I've never seen a building like that before.
