55. It's a blatant lack of understanding of what makes

a "Wonder" of the World. It's not content, although the issue gets muddled since Authority figures for most of history have had god on their side, it's the engineering accomplishments that are the most impressive things.

Hence for example:

The arch in St. Louis
The Eiffel Tower
The Chunnel
The Golden Gate Bridge

etc..
