He did say that, but it was an offhand comment and I'm not so sure it's correct.
First of all, if you look at the list here: http://well-of-souls.com/civ/civ6_terrain.html#natural_wonders, I believe ??? wonder *is* Mt. Everest. That ??? has been there for a while, so somehow we had already seen it before the livestream?
Anyways, that list would mean we've seen 10 Natural Wonders in total.
But also, in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls26x2bt9mI at around 6 minutes, the narrator describes how in a previous game he saw the Dead Sea natural wonder, which is apparently a two-tile lake that helps heal your units. We've not had independent verification of this natural wonder anywhere as far as I know.
So if the Dead Sea is really in, that's 11 Natural Wonders we know about. I remember reading elsewhere that people thought there'd be 12 altogether, so there could be one more out there waiting to be found.

Didn't we see Galapagos Islands as the 12th?
I think this is the only sighting: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=14395211&highlight=Galapagos#post14395211

Today's livestream @ 01:23:05

Dead Sea - Two tile natural wonder. It appears as a Lake and provides +2 Faith and +2 Culture to those tiles. Units heal completely if they heal for one turn adjacent to the Dead Sea.

My thought to the word!
Well, it's is a death wonder...
I was going to go with: but it's not the Alive Sea, but you beat me to it.
That's to the joke, not you beating me to it!

The Wonderousness isn't its beauty, but rather its unusual condition. It's the saltiest water on earth. Nothing lives in it and when you go there, you float like a cork. The healing factor is probably due to its long history as a health resort.

Maybe they could make it look a little more...salty? It looks like a lake with a white border as-is.
I know that's how it looks in real life, but Civ isn't real life.

I just noticed this, but some NW have an "impassable" status. I guess some will have a "passable" one? Lakes, craters ?

It should look more special, ad it is it would be easy to mistake for normal two tile Lake. White border would be a good start.

Especially since the Dead Sea area is more or less a wasteland.
Hey, maybe one of the unrevealed civs is Sodom?
I was just thinking, I hope we see some more statue wonders eventually, whether in the game on release or in DLC/Expansions, cause I think with the new wonders on the map mechanic having some more big statues like the Colossus or Cristo Redentor would be super cool. I know that Statue of Liberty is currently conspicuously absent and we will certainly either have that at launch or eventually, but I hope we get some more like how The Motherland Calls was rumored for Civ V BNW or maybe one of the crazy huge Buddha statues. I think it would look amazing to have more stuff like that in your empire.
