Entitled Idiots Reviewing The 7 Wonders Of The World - REACTION

[@EnoVarma]

Not Over The Moon! I went to the Moon, with such high expectations. It was a major let down. The place was dusty and rocky, the landscape monotonous and boring. There were no sounds, like, at all. Just quiet, you could hear yourself breathing. No structures of any kind, no gift shops. And we were put inside THE most uncomfortable suits so that we "could breath and stuff". It was too awkward to walk in those things. The trip was terrible, too. Crammed, the food was awful, and going to toilet was unspeakably horrific. On the Moon, Earth looked pretty, but not as awesome as in the pictures. All in all, the Moon is completely over-rated. One star.

Well, it's a bit funny. We like to make jokes about the americans, and we all have something to say about them. I did notice that the older ones always try to pass off as Canadian ! The younger ones, well with them, the clichés seem true. Otoh, they are adventurous. Also, there is the tendency to speak so loudly. It's not that they are impolite, I don't know, but they don't even know where they are ! Or which country they are visiting. My favourite is, when in a small town, a beautiful castle, a group of young men came up, talking to me directly, and asked where the Mcdonald was! It was hilarious 😂 ! But otherwise, I like them, if they make an effort. People are people in the end. Remember that when you visit the US, they don't care where you come from . Most are very nice and helpful, and contrary to what people say, the food is very good. Forget the meat part, I ❤️ NY , where incredibly I managed to get lost ! But, please, before embarking on an overseas trip, please know at least a bit of the history. Explaining can be tiresome. Nevertheless, you are all welcome ! 🙏

I'm from India. I've been to the Taj Mahal. It's out of this world. And no, it's not "small" lol. It's actually huge and idk what kind of photos this person saw before visiting it that they thought it'd be the size of a planet. And the whole complex is massive and full of various other beautiful and huge structures, including gardens and pools, and it's really amazing. The beauty of the Taj Mahal goes beyond just its superficial architecture. I went on a full moon's evening, and realised that the intricate carvings on it actually sparkle like millions of stars in the moonlight. It's unlike anything I had seen before and was just magical. They built it in the 17th century, and carved the panels in a way that they'd actually shine in the moonlight. It was a long time ago since I've been there, but the views are just burned onto my retinas. It's one of the most beautiful places I've been to. However, it was more than 20 years ago that I went there and I'm not sure if the Taj Mahal is still open to visitors in the evening. I hope it is, at least on full moon nights, because that's one of the best things about it. And of course, the structure itself is just breathtaking. It's insanely beautiful and peaceful. You need to be devoid of a soul to find the Taj Mahal meh. Tbh most of these reviewers are mad at things not at all related to the structures themselves. "Hated Petra because I bought bracelets I didn't like." "Hated Taj Mahal because I didn't realise I was in India, where the surroundings range from 'Levi-level clean' to 'flithy like that stink spirit customer at the bath house in Spirited Away'." "Didn't like the Egyptian pyramids because I don't know how deserts work." "Didn't like Pompeii because I'm too umempathetic to feel the horror of what those people went through on the night of the volcano's eruption that made their bodies forever locked in position and turned to ash, and so I think they're fake." "Didn't like a freaking museum because I'm vegan and I can't look at skeletons of ancient animals (that died naturally) without thinking of eating them." I feel sorry for these people. These are the kinds of people who will never be happy

It’s one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. Easy 5/5 ⭐️. However, the shirt I wore gets 0/5 ⭐️. I bought it previously in Delhi because it was very lightweight. Well, it began to rain while I was visiting the Taj and the shirt literally dissolved on my body, like tissue paper. I had NOTHING on from the waist up in seconds. I do not recommend

My dad went to Egypt on a business trip in 1962, and was delighted that he had time to visit the pyramids. He was even more delighted when he was offered the experience of riding a camel to the site, that was a big "Hell yes!" from him. He brought back souvenirs, one was a camel saddle that he used as a foot rest in the living room until Mom insisted that it didn't go well with her Early American decor. The thing kinda stunk, too. My big brother was happy to put it in his room. He also kinda stunk.

[@alexandramilos392]

Agreed about the ruins and similar structures thing. Haveing a guide or a profesional tell you about the place while being at that place is what brings everything together. Reading about it at home (watching a video about it) is boring and since you already know about it it makes you not want to go beacose theres nothing to learn there anymore. Reading about it there takes away from the experiance of being there to admire the monument. (reading or watching a video would take a long time to do there and would distract from the monument itself too much compared to someone speaking to you irl while being there irl) Going there without knowledge makes it be boring beacose you don't know anything about it and have no context of what or how or why the structure exists and what makes it interesting and cool. Learning about it from a person while being there is the best as you get to both see and the monument for yourself in person and get the information and context needed to keep it interesting, entartaining and engageing. And if you care about whether what the Giude said is true or not you can check it out after that when you get back to the hotel room before going to bed or whenever you have the time.

As someone who traveled for several weeks around Mexico in an old truck, I found the folks fantastic and friendly. We were there to collect orchids, so camped out, mostly - and looked fairly scruffy. People would invite us to their homes for dinner in a combination of our limited Spanish and their few words of English, but the hospitality and graciousness of average working folks was a joy. We avoided the tourist places as they are filled with people who make their living by selling to tourists, and we had so little money for anything other than food & gas.

As someone whose Mom/grandparents are from Mexico and grew up going there all the time, you are so right. We love to feed people and have fun.

The touristy spots always suck too, unfortunately my Mom's home town is slowly becoming a tourist spot but the hospitality never left. It makes me sad when I hear people saying they don't travel to Mexico unless it's a resort because they are afraid of Narcos (drug dealers) but I live in the US currently and I've seen more drug dealers here than Mexico, lmao. Thank you for being respectful and enjoying our culture 😊

[@ShuichiZero]

As a Mexican, I don't understand why it is so hard for people, sadly mostly Americans, don't behave nicely. You can get lots of perks, and it's not that hard, a friendly hello can go a long way. The food culture is huge, people feed visitors and anyone who is around at the time meals are served. Tourists do get charged more on some things, as do White passing Mexicans and it is annoying, but it is possible to evade sellers at the touristic spots, I've done it. I also feel safe here, the majority of places are not Narco territory. There are places more safe than others but as far as I know, all tourist spots are super safe. Chichén Itzá is in the safest state.

The answer is lever and pulley systems, systems that would’ve used wood and rope that long ago eroded (or were removed). The other options are aliens and magic. Sooooo they used lever and pulley systems.

[@elliotgallogly1719]

@nwj03a Yes but the fact that we're still asking many of the same questions about the construction of pyramids as archaeologists in Cleopatra's reign is fascinating.

@@rivenoak Although this is a technically true statement, *most people have a mixed knowledge of the 7 Wonders of the Middle Ages, the “New” 7 Wonders of the World compiled in 2001, as well as the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. The list composed strictly of man-made wonders that became what’s known as the 7 Wonders taught in most school for decades now, has been in some working order since the 19th and 20th century includes*: Chichen Itza, Christ the Redeemer, The Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Petra, Taj Mahal, the Colosseum, with the Giza Pyramids an implied inclusion, with some alternates or additional places referred to as wonders including: Stonehenge, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and even during certain eras the Catacombs (with a few other, more minor “wonders” included throughout this time). This list is not diminished of importance because it is a more modern, updated list. The reason these lists* were comprised during the 19the and 20th century were to pay homage to the early historians that documented and developed the ancient 7 wonders list, not to in any way belittle or wash away these wonders or what these historians had documented over the centuries. Instead, because nearly all that were listed as ancient wonders, except for Giza, were no longer in existence and could not be viewed or marveled at by man. Does that make the several lists comprised over these couple of centuries less important? Less “wonderful” and historical? Absolutely not! Many are as ancient as the those listed on the ancient 7 wonders list, but have simply withstood the test of time. There is a modern list not to forget the past but to make sure we don’t, to instead appreciate it and marvel at them both for their HISTORICAL significance and (like I said) they are wonders that are still around to be marveled and viewed. That is their importance and impact on us, to remember history, not to wash away and forget!

Secondly, Taj Mahal has this rule of walking without shoes or slippers on so of course there were hundreds of slippers around. Thirdly, to visit a 'tourist' spot and then complain about it being too 'touristy' is just entitled behavior. If you want to visit Taj Mahal and not find a crowd then visit in the morning hours, before the sunrise or around 7-8 AM (also helps with not having shoes on because the marble floors are way too hot to walk on in the blazing heat of India). Fourth, Agra is a small place but it's not poor. You'll find beggars in all parts of the country (result of the looting of India by British). Please remove that 'India is so poor and everyone lives in a hut and are uneducated' mindset. The crazy narrative shown by movies and books of India are NEVER true.

Not that which is taught in school textbooks or that we see in popular blogs or articles. The real one that tells how calling it ‘a symbol of love’ is an insult to love. That how the invader Shah Jahan exploited the hindu workers who built it and hope you haven't forgot how he slit their hands after it was built. That he slaughtered thousands of hindus, raped several Hindu women & kept them as his sex slave. That he destroyed the great temples. That he married Mumtaz’s sister immediately after her death. How mumtaz dies giving birth to their 14th child. That he used to spend time with those exploited sex slaves in the tan mahal. He & other invaders have been glorified a lot by the anti-hindu & anti-india lobby. Kids have been brainwashed.

Taj Mahal is a sign of oppression and torture like you said and it's still one of the wonders of the world. I just wanted people not to shit on our history and to respect the fact that we have one and that we even have proofs all over the country of it, especially Taj Mahal.

The Taj Mahal is absolutely stunning: I was in shock when I saw it, so much so that I started crying. Agra itself is the polar opposite of the building, but the people there were incredibly kind and welcoming. Oh, and, what do you mean *SMALL*?! It was so much bigger than I anticipated, I couldn't wrap my mind around it, to be honest! 2) The Colosseum - as someone who is from Rome, I’m just... okay, everyone can have their own opinions, of course they can. But the tour guide speaking Italian, that’s something you can check before you actually book the tour! I’m always in awe whenever I see it, but I say this about every building in Rome, really. 3) The Great Pyramids - amazing. I cried when I saw them as well. One thing people don’t realize though (other than the fact that, yes they’re in the desert) is just how close they are to the outskirts of Cairo. Oh, and the Sphynx, while amazing, is so tiny compared to the Pyramids!!! That made me giggle, I have to say. As for Cairo, the people there don’t hate anybody’s freedom.

We did Rome, Assisi, Sorrento and the Amalfi coast and, the day my wife did her spa, I went to Pompeii with a private guide. As I walked up the ramp to the entrance, I broke out in goosebumps, it was so awesome to me! And the Coliseum was spectacular also! My wife is not a BIG history buff but she enjoyed everything! We even had Easter mass at the Vatican!

I’m so shook about the Taj Mahal comments. I thought it was amazing. Just the stones inlaid in the marble to form the scriptures and flowers were stunning. Also the fact that there were random stray dogs running around playing in the fountains like they were the main characters. It was incredible. It was heartbreaking to see the poverty right outside the walls, but also eye opening. It was an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything.

There were gem stones inlaid in the marble cuttings. The British dug them out and Indian government set glass and other cheap stones in their place when they restored the Taj.

Totally agree ! It's just a marvel. I was extremely lucky when I visited the first time. Very few people, all respectuous, and I had all the time to visit. Now, the last time I went, you had to galop and fast to see much. The Lion's fountain ? The first time I could touch them, I didn't, but it wasn't cordoned off. This clip is very useful because it does show how little many tourists know. It's not difficult to inform yourself beforehand, with no explanations of the context or no interest in history.
