The canyon makes the final four and now, is the only remaining natural place left on the list.

We go to a BEST OF SEVEN series to find the winners from here on out. Repeat, it takes FOUR votes to win.

By flip of a credit card, the north-south semi final match will happen first. Ready ---

The Pyramids
vs
Stonehenge

Stonehenge

(While the pyramids are a bigger landmark, Stonehenge is more mysterious and intriguing.)

Don't agree - the Pyramids are just as intriguing - think of all the astronomy connections with the belt of Orion and such-like, amazing how the Egyptians were so in touch with planetary and star systems...Stonehenge is modest in comparison

Pyramids

Pyramids - both are linked to astronomy, both are mysteries when it comes to how ancient people could have assembled them without modern machinery... but the pyramids are friggin' huge.

Pyramids! Don't think I've seen a closer match here, the tension was mighty.

And your other semi-final:

Grand Canyon
-vs -
Machu Picchu
