Kizhi Pogost - 11
Lotus Temple - 23
Oost-Indisch Huis - 28
Palace of Knossos - 24
Tāq Kasrā - 25+1=26 - It would be an interesting wonder to represent Sassanid Persia in-game.

Chùa Bút Tháp - 21
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - (28+1)=29 A great scientific Mayan wonder, and different from Chichen Itza (actually called El Castillo).
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 25
Great Mosque of Kilwa - 11
Huaca del Sol - 20
Kizhi Pogost - (11-3)=8 I prefer St. Basil's Cathedral.

Great Mosque of Kilwa - 11
Huaca del Sol - 20 - 3 = 17 I get the feeling that it would be a strange choice as a wonder (although we've had other stranger choices before). I think Huanca would be better worked as an improvement than a wonder.
Kizhi Pogost - 8
Lotus Temple - 23
Oost-Indisch Huis - 28
Palace of Knossos - 24
Tāq Kasrā - 26 + 1 = 27 As I said before, I am really interested in Persian wonders.

Chùa Bút Tháp - 21
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 29
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 25
Great Mosque of Kilwa - 11-3=8 - I have the feeling this should fall before Kizhi Pogost.
Huaca del Sol - 17
Kizhi Pogost - 8
Lotus Temple - 23
Oost-Indisch Huis - 28+1=29 - Good Dutch wonder + good trade wonder = a great wonder!

Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 25
Great Mosque of Kilwa - 8 @Kimiimaro why should Swahili stone mosque fall before wooden Russian church? :p
Huaca del Sol - (17+1)=18 @Xandinho Why would this make a strange wonder? It's included in my book of ancient wonders (a list created by academics). I barely build City-State Improvements and there are only two Moche Huaca. I rather have Cahuachi as a City-state allowing the suzerain to build Nazca lines.
Kizhi Pogost - (8-3)=5 A nice WHS, but I rather have St. Basil's Cathedral instead. (And no more Kremlin).

Great Mosque of Kilwa - 8 - 3 = 5 I have other mosques in mind
Huaca del Sol - 18 If Moche was included as a civilization, this should be his improvement, even if it is represented as city-state, I think Huanca should be its bonus. I have no objection to being included as a wonder, I just think this would be better worked as an improvement, though.
Kizhi Pogost - 5
Lotus Temple - 23
Oost-Indisch Huis - 29

Huaca del Sol - (18+1)=19 Moche are a favorite Andean Civilization of mines, and I think it would make a decent wonder.
Kizhi Pogost - (5-3)=2 I rather have St. Basil's Cathedral than this wooden church.

Lotus Temple - 23 - 3 = 20 Nothing against this, but this seems a little uninteresting compared to many other historically important Indian structures. And despite being a temple, I think this one would not be a religious wonder, maybe one cultural/turism wonder? but religious? I think not.
Oost-Indisch Huis - 29 + 1 = 30 Best option for Dutch wonder, for me.

Bayt al-Hikma - 30+1=31 - It's a great medieval scientific wonder. It's also a great Arabian wonder. And Uraniborg can't be alone in the lead.

Aït Benhaddou - (18-3)=15 Not that fond of it becoming a wonder. The Ksar can be Morocco's unique improvement/building instead.

Huaca del Sol - (19+1)=20 I tend to not build city-state improvements, so I prefer it being a wonder.

El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 29 + 1 = 30 Scientific wonder for a scientific civilization
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 25
Huaca del Sol - 20 - 3 = 17 Not so far, I still think this would be better as an improvement than a wonder. There is only one Great Sphinx and it has been worked as an improvement, although the Sphinx makes more sense as a wonder than this structure.

Aït Benhaddou - 15
Basílica I Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família - 21-3=18 - I know it's great, but it's still unfinished.
Bayt al-Hikma -31
Chan Chan - 22
Chùa Bút Tháp - 21
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 30
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 25+1=26 - Like Oost-Indish Huis is a great Dutch trade wonder, the Grand Bazaar is a great Ottoman trade wonder!

Huaca del Sol - (17+1)=18 Well, the Egyptian Sphinx improvement also represents the numerous smaller Sphinx statues. There are only two Huacas. This is as deserving of becoming a wonder as the Sphinx. It's the largest pre-Columbian adobe structure in the Americas. I have bad memories of all the non-stone Amerindian wonders getting downvoted...even the stone ones get downvoted because of similarity to Chichen Itza/Huey Teocalli.....I will defend this till the very end! :ninja:

Torre del Oro - (21-3)=18 While it made a beautiful wonder in Age of Empires 2, it's still just a military watchtower.
Uraniborg - 31
 
Aït Benhaddou - 15
Basílica I Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família - 18 - 3 = 15 Although it is a great structure, I agree that this would be very recent, not even completed.
Bayt al-Hikma - 31 + 1 = 32 Great scientific wonder, the Arab scientific achievements need to be recognized.

Chan Chan - 22
Chùa Bút Tháp - 21
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 30
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 26
Huaca del Sol - 18 I still think this would be better as an improvement. What kind of wonder would this be? religious? Which is more deserving of becoming a wonder? The Huaca del Sol or Huaca de la Luna?

Aït Benhaddou - 15
Basílica I Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família - 15-3=12 - Definitely wondrous, but still under construction...
Bayt al-Hikma 32+1=33 - I'll increase its score so it will be harder for Uraniborg to catch-up with it :P

Bayt al-Hikma -(33-3)=30 I can't let it run away with the game. We don't even know how it looked like!
Chan Chan - 22
Chùa Bút Tháp - 21
El Caracol of Chichen Itza - 30
Grand Bazaar of Istanbul - 26
Huaca del Sol - (18+1)=19 It would be a religious/cultural wonder. Huaca del Luna is more intact (due to colonists diverting rivers to Huaca del Sol), but smaller.
Lotus Temple - 20 How come this has more points than Sagrada Familia? Cause it's completed?
