Catedral de Brasília doesn't count, since he personally downvoted it several times :p

In two times, because he said it looks like an airport, even though I have never met one that resembles this. And I could not find one even in google images. :dunno:

Maybe he meant the Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport?

This looks more like a flying saucer :lol:, it does not look like the Cathedral of Brasilia to my look.
 
Belem Tower - 5-3=2 not a particularly impressive Portuguese building
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 30
Burj Khalifa - 20
Duomo di Milano - 27+1=28
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 21
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 20
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Sanctuario de Las Lajas - 18
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 7
 
Belem Tower - 2
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 30
Burj Khalifa - 20 - 3 = 17 I would like to kill the Belem Tower, but the Burj Khalifa having so many points still bothers me a lot.
Duomo di Milano - 28
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 21
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 20 + 1 = 21 There is no Japanese wonder. There is no eastern castle. This is visually distinct. This is very historically important.
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Sanctuario de Las Lajas - 18
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 7
 
Belem Tower - 2 - 3 = ELIMINATED Not impressive
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 30
Burj Khalifa - 17 + 1 = 18 Needs more points
Duomo di Milano - 28
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 21
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Sanctuario de Las Lajas - 18
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 7
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 30-3=27 - Maybe impressive, but I don't think that they should be the leader.
Burj Khalifa - 18
Duomo di Milano - 28
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 21
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas - 18
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 7+1=8 - Zaarin wants his cathedrals to survive, so I'm trying to save this. Also, the game needs some typical Gothic Cathedral.
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 27+1= 28 (Those we cant save IRL can have a comeback here)
Burj Khalifa - 18
Duomo di Milano - 28-3 = 25 (something needs to go..)
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 21
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas - 18
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 8
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan -28
Burj Khalifa - 18
Duomo di Milano - 25
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - (21+1)=22 I'm always for more ancient Egyptian wonders
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas - (18-3)=15 Not up for a Modern-era religious wonder
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 8
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan -28
Burj Khalifa - 18-3=15 it's legacy of being the tallest building in the world it's already going to be beaten by a skyscraper in Jeddah
Duomo di Milano - 25+1=26
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 22
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas -15
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 8 yes we need gothic cathedrals but there are tons of better options, for a standard Gothic cathedral there's Chartre's cathedral or Notre dame, cologne cathedral, even st. Stephen's cathedral in Vienna I think are better choices for a cathedral and it's not my best choice from Bohemia either.
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan -28
Burj Khalifa - 15-3 = 12 Overrated, represents a mere blink in time, and when is it going to be available to have any kind of value of building it. There are dozens of similar buildings like the Petronas Towers. They don't carry a story with them, except for being build with oil money. They're not unique. They're not a "wonder".
Duomo di Milano - 26
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 25
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 22
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas -15 + 1 =16 Better modern wonder.
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 8
 
Maybe he meant the Theme Building at the Los Angeles International Airport?
LAX was exactly the airport I had in mind, except frankly LAX is prettier. :p (Based on pictures, anyway; I've never been to either location.)
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 25 (28 - 3) -- I understand the historical significance and the uniqueness of Buddha statues in Afghanistan, but honestly I don't understand how some crumbling Buddha statues are winning.
Burj Khalifa - 12
Duomo di Milano - 26
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 26 (25 + 1) -- As I said before, it's unlike any other wonder in game (including any potential future Gothic cathedral), it is the oldest cathedral in the world, and it is the Mother See of the Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church. It's a wonder that it hasn't been featured before.
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 22
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas - 16
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 8
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 25
Burj Khalifa - 13 (12 + 1) Because I want to see more modern Wonders. This one fits the bill, plus is a skyscraper that could fill a hex nicely.
Duomo di Milano - 26
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 26
Hwangnyongsa - 27
Luxor Temple - 22
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas - 16
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 5 (8 - 3) I have to disagree with everyone who thinks this is more impressive than Las Lajas.
 
Buddhas of Bamiyan - 25
Burj Khalifa - 13
Duomo di Milano - 26
Etchmiadzin Cathedral - 26
Hwangnyongsa - 27 + 1 = 28 There is no Korean wonder in the game. There is no pagoda like wonder in the game. This is visually distinct. This is historically important.
Luxor Temple - 22
Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut - 26
Osaka Castle - 21
Royal Palace of Palenque - 25
Santuario de Las Lajas - 16
Serpent Mound - 25
St. Vitus Cathedral - 5 - 3 = 2 I really want more gothic cathedrals in the game, but I'm particularly not that desperate. There are many more iconic Gothic cathedrals, this sounds to me a random choice. And I would not want to see the game overcrowded of European cathedrals. If the justification is to represent Bohemia, there are better options like Karlštejn Castle or St. Barbara's Church that is more visually distinct to me.
