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.

I see you have researched the latest theory on how they were built. Me too, and it is impressive. Also, adding to the discussion, the Great Wall is only great in a few sections. Most of it is soil and rock stacked together.

Great Wall or Trump's Wall?

Will he name it the Greatest Wall, or the Yuge Wall?

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.

I agree. It's even more impressive when you consider they did not have things like the wheel or pulleys.

The Wall. Only man made object to be seen from space.
If that were the case, you'd be able to see every single road in space as well. The Wall isn't all that wide.
And I've seen the Wall, and judging just from the images, I'd say pyramids were far more impressive. Tallest structure on the planet for a good 4000 years. That's much more impressive than a big wall.

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.

You realize you can't actually see it from space, right? You can see the geographic features that the wall follows, but not the wall itself. That'd be like saying you could see I10 from space.
Per NASA, it can be seen in low earth orbit. It's difficult to see (and you have to know exactly what you're looking for) and the weather conditions have to be right, but technically it is "visible from space."
It's much more visible by radar (from space) than with the naked eye and photography.

Sure. Top, bottom, sides.

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