You can read following remarks

After careful consideration, the New7Wonders Foundation designates the Pyramids of Giza—the only remaining of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World—as an Honorary New7Wonders Candidate.

Therefore, you cannot vote for the Pyramids of Giza as part of the New7Wonders campaign.

This decision has also taken into account the views of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt and the Egyptian Ministry of Culture. The Pyramids are a shared world culture and heritage site and deserve their special status as the only Honorary Candidate of the New7Wonders of the World campaign.

The 7 New Wonders of the World will now be chosen by the people across the globe from the 20 active New7Wonders candidates.

The pyramids were given an honorific title.

I don't know. All these places are amazing but some of the places left out are great too. It's too difficult to choose.

I like how the graphic on the page reads, 'official new 7 wonder' of the world.

Oops.

Nice to see The Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty or the Sidney Opera not make it. How anyone managed to believe they had a shot vs the Great Wall of China or Machu Pichu is a mistery to me.

I think voters have been wise.

I agree - I was surprised to see them in the same company actually.
