# New Seven Wonders of the World Named Oops, They Forgot the Pyramids By Ben Preiss | Published 2007-07-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-seven-wonders-of-the-world-named-oops-they-forgot-the-pyramids References: [news.yahoo](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070708/ts_nm/portugal_wonders_dc_ylt=Ar1aSvRsvd9M8Hhwtj5G9eQJr7sF) & [new7wonders](http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php?id=633) This was a nice idea, but I really have to agree with the Egyptians' indignation at the absence of [the pyramids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-egypt) the only survivor of the original seven wonders. Scholars continue to debate how they were made. Anyway, congratulations to the new [Seven Wonders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-barrier-eats), I'm sure they are awesome. I have been to one of them, [Petra in Jordan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peruvian-exhibition) and it is breathtaking. Nobody forgets their first glimpse (see Gallery) of the Treasury from the Siq (the narrow red sandstone canyon leading to Petra). I hope to see the rest of them someday. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tourism Growth:** As more people learn about and visit the new Seven Wonders of the World, there are opportunities for disruptive innovation in tourism services and activities. - **New Destination Development:** Incentivizing the development of new destinations that can compete with the Seven Wonders can lead to innovative tourism experiences and infrastructure. - **Cultural Preservation:** The debate surrounding the absence of the Pyramids highlights the need for continued cultural preservation efforts, leading to opportunities for innovative solutions that balance preservation with accessibility. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Tourism Industry:** The tourism industry can capitalize on the popularity of the new Seven Wonders by offering new tour packages, experiences and amenities. - **Travel Technology Industry:** The travel technology industry can develop digital tools and platforms to enable virtual tourism of the Seven Wonders and offer new sources of revenue. - **Heritage Preservation Industry:** The absence of the Pyramids as one of the Seven Wonders highlights the need for more efforts in preserving heritage sites, creating opportunities for the heritage preservation industry to innovate. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Altered Pyramid Concrete Monuments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyramid-of-tirana.md) - [Large Archeological Museum Complex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-egyptian-museum.md) - [AR-Revived Premium Art Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egypt-augmented.md) - [Artful Pyramid Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-pyramid.md) - [Pyramid-Inspired Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kymaia-hotel.md) - [Circular Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shen-sculpture.md) - [Archeology-Exploring Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andreas-angelidakis1.md) - [Ancient Egypt Soda Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-egypt.md) - [World Wonder Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-barrier-eats.md)
