The best example of this is China. Quoting Bill Wurtz: "China is whole again... Then it broke again."Your reasoning isn't unsound and has plenty of examples to support it, but there are also plenty of counterexamples. Assyria particularly comes to mind as the moves from Aššur to Kalhu, from Kalhu to Dur-Sharrukin, and from Dur-Sharrukin to Nineveh all represent Assyria's growing strength and wealth.
Notre Dame seems like a prime addition to Buttresses, given the flying buttresses used in its construction. Castles also might not be a bad place for it.Notre Dame - Medieval, at Apprenticeship or Feudalism

I mean... Mont St. Michel and Kotoku-in are in the same Civic as well...That was my first thought as well, but there's a wonder there already.
There are a number of gorgeous Gothic cathedrals, and as long as we get one of them I don't really care which it is.Cologne Cathedral could be an addition, though maybe I'm biased because I've seen the cathedral before. Westminster Abbey
I thought of that, too, but there are several techs and civics with multiple wonders. Apprenticeship and Feudalism both feel too early for Notre Dame. So are Buttress and Castles, but...That was my first thought as well, but there's a wonder there already.
Me too.There are a number of gorgeous Gothic cathedrals, and as long as we get one of them I don't really care which it is.
I disagree about your point on Techs: I couldn't find a single Tech that had at least two Wonders.I thought of that, too, but there are several techs and civics with multiple wonders. Apprenticeship and Feudalism both feel too early for Notre Dame. So are Buttress and Castles, but...
Indeed? Hmm. At any rate, I know Monarchy at least has multiple wonders attached to it so there's precedent anyway...I disagree about your point on Techs: I couldn't find a single Tech that had at least two Wonders.
In terms of Wonders, this is the current breakdown (asterisk means Byzantium & Gaul pack wonders already included):
Ancient - 6
Classical - 12*
Medieval - 10
Renaissance - 7
Industrial - 8
Modern - 4
Atomic - 4*
I think this rules out an Industrial era Wonder and almost but guarantees a Renaissance Era one. Surely they'd not commit the atrocity of leaving an odd number in there, breaking an otherwise perfect curve?
I'm convinced we're getting a Renaissance and at least one Medieval wonder. But last time the two wonders came bundled with two Civs. This time it's a single Civ-pack, so I'm hopeful we'll see three or even four wonders.
Notre Dame - Medieval, at Apprenticeship or Feudalism
Belem Tower - Renaissance, at Exploration
Something else at Medieval or Ancient.
Though this might be a bit too euro-centric considering the last two we got...
Another Chinese wonder or a Korean wonder would make me very happy.Two European wonders at the same time seem unlikely. Most likely we get one from Europe and one from East/Southeast Asia. One is a veteran and the other one is never seen before.
My guess is Notre Dame and something from China/Burma/Thailand /Indonesia.
Porcelain Tower.Another Chinese wonder or a Korean wonder would make me very happy.
I was thinking Temple of Heaven, but that works too.Porcelain Tower.
Another Chinese wonder or a Korean wonder would make me very happy.
Does Borobudur count as well?Medieval:
Su Song's Water Clock (China)
Konark Sun Temple (India)
Kamakura Daibutsu (Japan)
Gyeongbokgung (Korea)
Porcelain Tower (China) - right on the edge between Medieval and Renaissance
Renaissance:
Trongza Dzong (Bhutan)
Himeji-jo (Japan)
Agra Fort/Residence (India)
Harmandir Sahib ("Golden Temple") (India)
Wat Arun (Thailand)
