NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex would be an interesting wonder: increased range for air units, increased city defence, increased amenities, and increased faith; the last two pertains to its Santa-tracking.

There aren't many late-game military wonders that increase amenities or faith.
 
St. Barbara's Church (Kutná Hora, Czech Republic)
St. Vitus Cathedral (Prague, Czech Republic)
Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk (Czech Republic)
Ještěd Tower (Czech Republic)
Pont du Gard (France)
Grand Bazaar (Istanbul, Turkey)
Galata Tower (Istanbul, Turkey)
Arc de Triomphe (Paris, France)
Castel del Monte (Italy)
Milan Cathedral (Milan, Italy)
Lotus Temple (Delhi, India)
Etemenanki/Tower of Babel (Iraq)
 
Just one question, who will choose the suggestions for the next round? Since Siptah is not following the forum because he would be without connection and time lately
We'll either have to wait or start another elimination thread on this topic, like "never before seen wonders elimination thread II".
 
Two suggestions from my home area:

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel: Very long bridge and tunnel system, 23 miles, across the mouth of the Chesapeake.
Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydocks: Only place in the world that makes non sloped deck aircraft carriers. If it is a famous carrier, it was probably built there.
 
We'll either have to wait or start another elimination thread on this topic, like "never before seen wonders elimination thread II".

Good question, Do you want to do it?

I could choose the suggestions, and we could start the third round in this thread. Or do you prefer that we create another thread? I think there is no problem to do here.
Twenty-two wonders would be a good amount?

The rankings would be quite chaotic if they were posted on page 23. I'm for the new thread variant.
 
Willis Tower
No one in America calls it that. :p Personally I'd rather see the Burj Khalifa; at least it's not a complete eyesore like Sears Tower. :p
 
Karnak Temples 14 (13+1) construction time over 2000 years
Santa Maria del Fiore 34 (37-3) is this a ww? maybe, but another dome ? like Rome's Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica, Hagia Sophia ...this is already in the game...and the dome as separate tile is not good. Karnak Temples would look great!
