Dhammayangyi is in Burma.
Plus I think Swayambhunath is a poor choice for a Nepali Wonder.
Can't complain about too many Chinese wonders, when the Greeks have/and will have many....:p
Sorry for the mistake... Btw. Burma doesn't have a wonder, either :P However, Greeks don't have two from one city, do they?
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 20 (23-3) no one knows and that has reasons
Château Frontenac - 25
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 25 (24+1) this part of history is currently forgotten in Civ 6
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 24
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 20
Château Frontenac - 22 (25 - 3) -- There's a reason why most wonders are religious: faith, more than anything else (except maybe hubris: viz. most Egyptian wonders :p ), inspires people to build wonders.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 26
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 25 (24 + 1) -- Beijing/Nanjing/Khanbaliq has been the capital of China for a long time; it shouldn't be surprising many wonders are located there, just like there are many wonders in Paris, Rome, Persepolis, etc.
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 20
Château Frontenac - 23 (22+1) I do not want a religious wonder to win again. Let's have some wonder diversity people.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 23 (26-3) It's similar enough to Borobudur (which is a very likely to come with the SEA DLC) to not warrant inclusion.

Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 25
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 25
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 20
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 23
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 25 + 1 = 26 It's the kind of wonder I like.
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 25 - 3 = 22 I do not want to avoid religious wonder, because I know that most of the great structures were made because of faith, but I would not want to see the final podium constituted only of temples again. This is a great option for Chinese wonder, but the problem is this, this is Chinese and China already has some wonders in the game, I prefer that its unrepresented neighbors receive wonders before (e.g. Japan and Korea).
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 17 (20 - 3) Doesn't really capture my imagination.
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24 (23 + 1) Definitely my favourite of the list.
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 22
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 17+1=18 - Falling too fast. It is good looking, and it was a home of one of the most known noble families in the world.
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23
Palácio de Pena - 18-3=15 - There are sure other choices for a Portuguese wonder, right? It may be unique and it may be an inspiration to great Maria's leaderscreen from Civ V, but I'm just not a very big fan of it.
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 22
 
Burg Hohenzollern -18
Château Frontenac - 23
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 23-3=20 It may be different from the religious wonders here (being a cultural type of wonder), but I don't place priority on getting it included in the game.
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - (22+1)=23 Sure maybe Korea and Japan need wonders, but the Chinese ones are usually more famous. I don't think Koreans or Japanese have a structure similar to this.
 
Burg Hohenzollern -18
Château Frontenac - 20 (23 - 3) -- It's a hotel. There are other non-religious wonders on this list.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 22
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 24 (23 + 1) -- With civs, I see some of the appeal of spreading around representation, but I don't see the same appeal with wonders.
 
Burg Hohenzollern -18
Château Frontenac - 21 (20+1) I can very much see this in the game. Building requirements on a hill next to a river and would give bonuses to tourism. It would fit perfectly with the mechanics already in place and would be great for the mid to late game.
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 19 (22-3) I cant see this being in the game.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 24
 
Burg Hohenzollern -18
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 26
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 20 + 1 = 21 This can stay longer on the list, since it is the only fully cultural wonder here. And it would be great on the map
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 19 - 3 = 16 Nothing against this, but I find it visually similar to Angkor Wat. I think the Dhammayangyi Temple makes a better wonder of Southeast Asia.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 24
 
Burg Hohenzollern -18
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 26+1=27 - And the Tower of Babel reached the lead!
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 23
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 16
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 20
Temple of Heaven - 24-3=21 - It's not like there is a pressing need for a new Chinese wonder. Also, this would be a second wonder from Beijing.
 
Burg Hohenzollern -18
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 27
Humayun's Tomb - 21
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - (23+1)=24 It's a necropolis for the Achaemenids, and I like the appearance of the rock-cut tombs in the cliff wall, along with that rectangular tower.
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 16
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - (20-3)=17 There are probably better Nepali wonders than this, including Boudhanath.
Temple of Heaven - 21

I don't think Prambanan looks exactly like Angkor Wat, it lacks the moat and wall.
Alexandria already has two wonders in the game. I don't see Kimiimaro complain about that. :D
And why is the non-existent Babylonian ziggurat leading? Do we even know how it looked like?:p

Oh, I forgot about Great Library... That's because it's so useless in game :D And about the Temple of Heaven... Well... Let's just say I'm not very enthused about another Chinese wonder right now :P

Not exactly, but is that a problem? :P We don't know how the Hanging Gardens looked like, too, and yet they're in game.

The Hanging Gardens probably never existed in Babylon. The Assyrian Kings definitely had gardens though (as depicted in their lovely wall friezes), but archeologists aren't too sure about the Babylonian one. But Firaxis loves the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.....I'm certain the Temple of Artemis, and Statue of Zeus will return.

Etemenanki - 27 -- I'm not sure this should be leading, but I'm going to leave it for now simply because I hate how they chose to portray the Sumerian "ziggurats" (which frankly look more like Mesoamerican step pyramids in game).
Humayun's Tomb - 18 (21 - 3) -- It's very pretty, but it can't compete with the Taj Mahal for Mughal wonders. Let's have some Hindu or Tamil/Chola/Sinhalese wonders instead.
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 16
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 17
Temple of Heaven - 22 (21 + 1) -- What need do you have for wonder when you can look upon the works of the Middle Kingdom? :satan:
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 15 (18 - 3) Nothing about this interests me.
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 27
Humayun's Tomb - 18
Krak des Chevaliers - 26
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24

Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 17 (16 + 1) More of this please.
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 17
Temple of Heaven - 22
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 14 (15-1) Too much competition with similar wonders (like Krak des Chevaliers)
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 27
Humayun's Tomb - 18
Krak des Chevaliers - 27 (26+1) Definitely worth seeing
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 17
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 17

Burg Hohenzollern - 12 Correcting the previous post, since 1 point was subtracted instead of 3.
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 27 - 3 = 24 Having a Ziggurat as a wonder would be cool, but I do not think it's enough to lead. Let Krak des Chevaliers lead.
Humayun's Tomb - 18
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 24 + 1 = 25 It would be an interesting and distinct wonder.
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 15
Prambanan - 17
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania - 24
Swayambhunath - 17
Temple of Heaven - 22
 
Burg Hohenzollern - 12+1=13 - I like how it looks architectonically, and let's not forget that this is a home to one of the most known noble families in the world.
Château Frontenac - 21
Dhammayangyi Temple - 24
Etemenanki - 24
Humayun's Tomb - 18
Krak des Chevaliers - 27
Naqsh-e Rustam - 25
Palacio de Bellas Artes - 21
Palácio de Pena - 15-3=12 - There are some other wonders for Portugal. And I don't like it much, I prefer Neuschwanstein or Burg Hohenzollern to be the "hill castle" wonder.
