Jeita Grotto is not one of seven nature wonders of the world

Share:

The results of the final polls for the world’s new seven wonders of nature were announced at 19:07 GMT and unfortunately for Lebanon Jeita Grotto is not one of them.

The new seven wonders of nature were announced in alphabetical order as follows:

AMAZON ( Brazil)

HALONG BAY (Vietnam)

IGUAZU FALLS ( Argentina)

JEJU ISLAND (Korea)

KOMODO (Indonesia)

PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER (the Philippines)

TABLE MOUNTAIN ( South Africa)

Swiss foundation New 7 Wonders of Nature organized a world-wide poll in which anyone in the world could vote via telephone, text messages or Internet social networks for their favorite sites

Lebanon’s Jeita Grotto was among the top 10 finalists according to poll results five days before voting ended.

Jeita Grotto, an almost 10-kilometre cave system, was discovered in 1836 when an American clergyman stumbled upon the lower chamber. The discovery led to further exploration and the opening of sections of the site to visitors by the late 1950s.

Founded in 2001 by Bernard Weber in Zurich, the foundation New7Wonders is based on the same principle on which the seven ancient wonders of the world were established by Philon de Byzance in ancient Greece.

    I am so happy if not to say super excited to finally put this thing to an end:  No Souliman or Berri or for that matter Mikati or Aoun could deliver the Jeita Grotto since we all know well that whatever the Leb. government puts its hans on turns to mush (SHIT).

      i just think that the general lebanese public couldn’t care less if Jeita won or not…they want bread and butter on the table man and they have been forgotten for so long that they have become desperate.

      also the worst thing for jeita’s chances to win was the govt’s campaign… and the endorsement by Nasrullah. since no one trust this govt and Nasrullah is becoming more of a disliked figure, a lot of pple did not participate just for….spite.. which is pricesly the point in your case. there are a lot of pple like you bro.

      others also say why should we  fatten their pockets further when they are forgetting us … they just distrust anything to do with politicians…especially the terrorist type.

    Here is one guy that truly spells the truth (Antar)….If you get politicians on board (such as the commercial that went on the airways in Leb.), you will only develop a level of pure dislike.  I do not know if Jeita is nice or not but what I do not is that the Leb. government screwed up the whole thing and particularly the Ad. people BBDO with their silly commercials spacially the stupid one presenting Miss Leb. asking everyone to stop looking at her as if she is a godess.
    So wake up Lebanon, only 1.2 million people voted and you lost and you have always  done so on repeated basis.  You mess it up and then you argue why damn thing is not working.
    I was praying that Leb. would not win…so I could figure out who will be blamed for this screw up!!!!.  Maybe the Minister of Terrorism (Tourism) should resign. After all, Abooud was not in Lebanon when the vote took place as he was rosting his Aoun Nuts in London.
