Another article about the New 7 Wonders vote, the results of which will be announced on 7th July 2007: "Tia Viering, the project's spokeswoman, said Internet votes for the new wonders list have been received from people in over 100 countries -- with the most votes coming from China, Greece, India, Brazil, the United States, Peru, Mexico, Australia, Germany, Canada, and Britain. . . . Not everyone is pleased with the initiative. Egyptian Culture Minister Farouk Hosni thinks the idea of creating a new list of seven wonders is 'absurd.' And the chief of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass, has asked for the Giza pyramids to be removed from the voting, because, as he told the Middle East News Agency, they 'don't need a vote to be among the world's wonders.'Viering is unfazed by the fuss.
