Tar linn ar aistear ar fud an domhain chun cuairt a thabhairt ar 15 iontas de dhéantús an duine. Ní inniu ná inné a tógadh cuid de na háiteanna iontacha aisteacha a fheicfidh tú ar an turas seo, ach na céadta nó na mílte bliain ó shin. Cuid eile acu is le déanaí a tógadh iad agus tá ceann amháin acu fós á tógáil, fiú. Is cuma ársa nó úrnua iad, tá áilleacht, éachtaí agus eachtraí ag baint le gach ceann acu: An Taj Majal, Machu Picchu agus Pirimid Chúfú ina measc.
Join us on a journey around the world to visit 15 man-made wonders. Some of the wonderful and strange places you will see on this trip werenot built today or yesterday, but hundreds or thousands of years ago. Some of them were recently built and one of them is still being built, even.Whether they are ancient or brand new, each has beauty, achievements and adventures: The Taj Majal, Machu Picchu and the Pyramid of Chufu among them.
