What about Gobeckli Tepe in Turkey? This site should be at #1. Google the name and you will agree with me.

This list is messed up. An elevator is ahead of the Eiffel Tower and Colosseum. Really?! And not a single Gothic Cathedral?! Way too many non-Western buildings in this list. The Chichen Itza wasn't a match for even a mid-sized Cathedral, let alone something like Florence, Notre-Dame de Paris, or Cologne. And what about the Sears Tower ("Willis" now)? And the Pentagon?! And the US National Highway system? Or the Roman Roads? Those last two are both longer, larger, and a lot more useful than the Great Wall of China ever was! And the Porcelain Tower no longer exists, does it? Might as well include some other (more or less) defunct buildings, such as the Baths of Caracalla, or the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus?! Or the Pharos Lighthouse, for that matter.
And where's the Parthenon and Pantheon?! Those are probably the two most influential buildings of all time! -
I'm just going to go ahead and bet the largest construction of all time isn't actually on here - The Benin Walls.

Mohenjodaro , not Mohenyodaro

FUCK I HATE YOUR VOICE
-
Freeport Papua should be in the list.
-
You don't pronounce many words at all correctly, nothing fancy just basic words.
-
The empire State Bldg. did not take 40 years to complete it only took a year and 45 days.
-
Sorry but the voice is boring.

What about the Suez Canal, Abu Simbel,Aswan High Dam, Ephesus and last but by no means least The Minoan Palace (Knossos) Crete, built around 2500BC!!! and they even had drainage systems built.
-
The Forbidden City should have been there.
