Hello fellow people, Is there anything comparable to the ,,Seven Wonders of the World’’ or the modern wonders? Just asking out of interest, that could be interesting to come up with. Happy Mapping kingfries

I don’t think so, but we do have this http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF_Cultural_Monuments

Good thought kingfries - there probably are equivalents to the 7? wonders … but we don’t know where they are (or were) yet. There is the freedom to explore this.
The ‘monuments’ pages could be similar to the ‘high quality OGF content’ that came up following Sarepava’s diary entry. But as discussed then, these themselves duplicate the Main Page Featured Articles which are really the most ‘visible’ place for good and interesting stuff.
As you may have seen, there are also ideas to explore individual users personal favourite pages: http://opengeofiction.net/wiki/index.php/OGF:Highlights, perhaps some of these could be world wonders.
If anyone wants to make something that is a world wonder, why not try and map and wiki something that could be one? An modern architectural masterpiece … or an ancient temple. Then create other links in the world that connect it into OGF world culture and history, as the real seven wonders do.

Well, I would say that the Pointing Man (link & link) could be a modern wonder.

Pointing man “modern”? Whow! 460 BC is the better direction. [osm.org/?mlat=37.98917&mlon=23.731827&zoom=17#map=17/37.98917/23.73183]

To explain histor’s comment, here is the link to the Artemision Bronze, some of the images I used to make the PM from. But the Pointing Man is a fictional statue in Shadze-Ma - it isn’t the Artemesion Bronze, in size or form. I couldn’t find any images of the statue I wanted, so I used the next best thing.
I don’t think the Pointing Man is a wonder - either an ancient or modern wonder; to be an ancient wonder it would have to have been known about; and to be a modern wonder it would have to not be ancient.
I would more like to know why the above pages are OGF pages, not in world AN or ANESCO pages.
