The Wall. Only man made object to be seen from space.

The pyramids are a symbol of oppression of my people.

The far East is head and shoulders more fascinating than the near east

I'll offer a counter argument and say the pyramids because they have no real functional purpose like the Great Wall. Best ancient luxury item ever!

It has come out that slaves did not build the Pyramids, but a few farmers if the fertile region in the off-season.

And they did it with rather easy methods once the infrastructure was build.

No stones were lifted or moved under human strength alone. Most of the heavy lifting was by water.

Probably the wall.The scope of it.You die you become part of the wall.

I like the Pyramids.You can see the whole of the structures from close up.

The Great Wall just goes and goes.

Pyramids. Their height and size of the blocks still defies explanation for that time period. The great wall is conceivable even if magnificent.

The Great Pyramid at Giza is geometrically symmetrical on all three sides to within an inch.

Given the tools they had to work with and the size of that thing, that's pretty fricking impressive.

The Great Wall of China and it's not even close.

Aliens helped build the Pyramids so that takes away from how impressive the feat was.

The Chinese built the Wall without the assistance of superior beings.

The pyramids. They are so old that Cleopatra existed closer to today than to when they were built, and the structures are incredibly strong.

Both were built by slaves but I don't hear anyone trying to take them down. Now that's impressive.

The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.

Suck on that, Wall.
