Hey guys! Sorry about the lack of a wonder this week. I had a history assignment in which I was working non-stop for most of the weekend, so didn't have time. It'll be up to you guys now - do you want the wonder before this coming weekend, or keep it there?

Karnak
The Karnak Temple Complex of Thebes (Modern day Luxor) is one which provides a cross-section of the beliefs associated with the Kemetic religion of Ancient Egyptian society. It is a sacred site on which temples and shrines have been constructed from the reign of Senusret I in 1941 BCE to Ptolemaic Egypt in as late as 30 BCE. It is widely known for the Avenue of Sphinxes, a row leading up to the entrance to Karnak which features approximately two thousand Sphinxes lining the path. Ingame, Karnak provides a free temple in the city in which it is built, and +2
faith from Flood plains. Karnak can be downloaded from Steam Workshop or the CivFanatics download database, page Here.

Do you accept suggestion for wonders..? If you do, I have a suggestion;
Gripsholm Castle, Mariefred, Sweden.
History from wikipedia:Gripsholm Castle (Swedish: Gripsholms slott, Mariefred, verbally Griffin Islet's Castle) is a castle in Mariefred, Södermanland, in Sweden and is regarded as one of Sweden's finest historical monuments. It is located by lake Mälaren in south central Sweden, in the municipality of Strängnäs, about 60 km west of Stockholm. A fortress was built at the location around 1380 by Bo Jonsson Grip, and belonged to his family until the confiscation of mansions and castles by King Gustav I in 1526. The King tore it down, and built a fortified castle with circular corner towers and a wall, for defensive purposes. Of the original medieval fortress, only the façade of a wall remains.
Since Gustav Vasa, Gripsholm has belonged to the Swedish Royal Family and was used as their residence until 1713. Between 1563 and 1567, King Eric XIV imprisoned his brother John and his consort Catherine Jagiellon in the castle. This was also one of the castles that King Eric was imprisoned in when John had overthrown him. John's son Sigismund, later the King of Poland and Sweden, was born in the castle on June 20, 1566. The castle was again used as a prison between 1713 and 1773, before it was renovated by King Gustav III on behalf of his consort Sophia Magdalena. A theater was also added in one of the towers at this time.
Between 1889 and 1894, the castle underwent a heavy and controversial restoration by the architect Fredrik Lilljekvist during which many of the 17th and 18th-century alterations were removed. The largest change was the addition of a third floor; the planned demolition of a wing did not take place.
Now the castle is a museum which is open to the public, containing paintings and works of art. Part of the castle houses the National Collection of Portraits (Statens porträttsamlingar), one of the oldest portrait collection in the world.
Gripsholms slott is a very beautiful castle, In my opinion.

I was waiting for something like Piazza dei Miracoli ("Square of Miracles") better known for the leaning tower and i think it perfectly fits with Phisics tech! really well done! i would have preferred a free workshop instead of the mass media bonus, i think i'll change it

Very curious what CN tower will have.
CN Tower should be similar to old Eiffel Tower, although not quite as powerful - free Broadcast tower in the city in which it's built + culture bonus for all cities.
