The ones left in the running are as follows:
Acropolis
Alhambra
Angkor

Quick question... why are the Pyramids not on there anymore? ,,, just not left in the running or did they not consider them since this is for a "modern" list?
nevermind... got my answer:
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.
