I dunno. I think we build wonders all the time. I think they are just common place because they happen around us and not in some mythical past. I wonder people two thousand years from now (if there are still people and our structures still stand) will look at some of the things we did in awe and wonder and say, "Wow. How'd they do that?" Maybe not. Maybe our record keeping and communication has advanced to the point where our civilizations today wont be lost in the dust in a few millennium.

The point is that I think it's all a matter of perspective. Did the average person in Egypt four and a half thousand years ago look at the pyramid at Giza being built and say, "My! What a wonder we are building!" or was it just another big expensive thing that was being put up? Did the average person in Athens twenty five hundred years ago look up at the Parthenon on the hill and say, "What an awe inspiring site!" or was it just a big ol'temple that was put up? Until you know how the people at the time felt about the things we consider wonders today, you can't really know if anything we've done will one day be seen as wondrous.
