Ostalo je jos 6 dana za glasanje
ovo je moja lista 7 novih svetskih čuda:
1. Keopsova Piramida (Giza Pyramids, Egypt)
2. Piramida u Čičen Ici (Pyramid at Chichén Itzá, Yucatan, Mexico)
3. Veliki Kineski Zid (Great Wall of China)
4. Moai na Uskršnjim Ostrvima (Statues of Easter Island, Chile)
5. Petra u Jordanu (Petra, Jordan)
6. Rimski Koloseum (The Roman Colosseum, Rome, Italy)
7. Ajfelov Toranj (The Eiffel Tower, Paris, France)
Mnogi su čuli za sedam čuda starog sveta ili Sedam Svetskih Čuda ali malo ko ih danas može imenovati. Kako se bliži izbor "Novih 7 Čuda", nije loše potsetiti se na originalnu listu. Lista 7 najvećih dostignuća u arhitekturi onog vremena je nastala oko drugog veka p.n.e. a prvi koji je pisao o toj ideji bio je Herodot tri veka ranije. Konačna Lista za koju danas znamo, nastala je u srednjem veku. Od svih sedam čuda opstala je jedino Keopsova Piramida u Egiptu, za ostala znamo da su postojala iz starih zapisa i arheoloških ostataka. Detaljni opisi ovih objekata izgoreli su sa Aleksandrijskom bibliotekom. Dakle evo liste (nije hronološki predstavljena):
1. Velika Keopsova Piramida
nastala u vreme faraona četvrte dinastije, Keopsa (Khufu) oko 2560. pre Hrista. Dakle samo je ona dospela na listu kao najznačajniji predstavnik piramida Gize i egipatskih piramida uopšte.
2. Artemidin Hram u Efesu
to nije bio bilo koji hram već najlepši i najveći hram onog vremena, posvećen grčkoj boginji lova i plodnosti, Artemidi, nastao oko 550. pre Hrista. Spalio ga je neki manijak, čije ime neću pominjati, 356. p.n.e. kako bi ostao upamćen.
3. Svetionik na ostrvu Farosu (Alexandria)
najviša građevina na svetu u ono vreme.Sostratus, savremenik Euklida, bio je arhitekta a statički proračun izvršila je Aleksandrijska Biblioteka/Mouseion. Projekat je nastao za vreme Ptolomeja Sotera 290 pre Hrista a izveo ga je njegov sin i investitor Philadelphus. Nestao je nakon serije zemljotresa u X i XIV veku n.e.
4. Kolos sa Rodosa
kolosalna statua boga Heliosa i ne samo to. Predstavljala je simbol jedinstva naroda koji su nastanjivali Mediteransko ostrvo Rodos. Izgradnja je trajala 12 godina, po završetku 282. p.n.e. bio je visok 33m i trajao je 56 godina. Kada su Arapi zauzeli ostrvo u VII veku n.e. još uvek je ležao na mestu gde je i pao. Arapi su ostatke prodali Jevrejinu iz Sirije.
5. Viseći Vrtovi Babilona
po opisu najlepši primer onovremene pejzažne arhitekture. Vrtovi su se nalazili na levoj obali reke Eufrat 50km južno od Bagdada(današnji Irak), stvorio ih je Nebuchadnezzar II (Nabukodonosor II) u VI veku p.n.e kako bi udovoljio svojoj ženi koja je žudela za planinskim krajevima (divna priča) pa su poznati i kao Semiramidini Vrtovi. Proces navodnjavanja bio je priča za sebe. Mnogi sumnjaju da su vrtovi uopšte postojali.
6. Mauzolej u Halikarnasusu
od 377. do 353. p.n.e. kralj Mauzolos (Mausollos of Caria) vladao je ovim krajem i premestio prestonicu u Halikarnasus (današnji Bodrum u Turskoj). Ništa posebno nije vezano za njegovu vladavinu osim izgradnje njegove grobnice po kojoj se danas monumentalne grobnice zovu mauzoleji.
7. Zevsova Statua u Olimpiji
bila je to ogromna statua grčkog boga u čiju čast su se održavale igre kasnije nazvane Olimpijskim. Hram u kome se nalazila statua, sagradio je arhitekta Libon oko 450 p.n.e. a skulptor je bio Fidija (Pheidias).
EARLY HISTORY
Carthage was founded in 814 BC by Phoenician settlers from the city of Tyre, bringing with them the city-god, Melqart. According to tradition, the city was founded by Queen Dido (or Elissa or Elissar or Alissa, a princess of Tyre) who fled Tyre in Phoenicia (modern days Lebanon) following the murder of her husband.
Some years on, she offers asylum to Aeneas and his men, who have recently escaped from Troy. The messenger god, Hermes, sent by Jupiter, reminds Aeneas that his mission is not to stay in Carthage with his new-found love, Dido, but to sail to Italy to found Rome. When Aeneas tells Dido the news, her character takes a turn for the worse. As she lay dying, heart broken, she predicts eternal strife between Aeneas' people and her own: "rise up from my bones, avenging spirit" (Rome and Carthage).
According to Roman legend, the city of Rome was found (by the twins Romulus and Remus) in the 8th century BC, so there must be some truth behind the story.
Now, for the origin of the name Tunis: In the 2nd millennium BC a town, originally named Tunes, was found byLibyans and also over time occupied by Berbers and Numidians. In the 9th century BC, the city was taken over by Phoenicians from Carthage (the new city).
MODERN CARTHAGINA
Modern city of Tunis (twin city with Belgrade in Serbia and Cologne, Germany) is a capitol of Tunisia
The majority (98% ) of modern Tunisians are Arab, and are speakers of Tunisian Arabic. While Tunisia's official language is Arabic, French, Italian, and English are also widely spoken.
From a variety of choices my travel destination was the "Tunisian Saint Tropez", city of Hammamet
From there we went to Al Jamm, Matmatah, Duz, Chott El Jerid, Qayravan and offcourse, the actual location of the StarWars' Naboo in Sahara...

The report of German intelligence agency BND showed that Ahtisaari was heavily bribed during his status as a mediator for Kosovo status.
The BND report has been sent to Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the UN.
