How can a set of man-made structures be called one of the world's greatest "natural" wonders?

Do these commentators know what a "natural wonder" is? That would be a wonder created by nature such as Rainbow Bridge, Old Faithful Geyser, Angel Falls, Mount Everest, The Dead Sea, etc.

@OkayHosein I say, "Bagan is one of the true wonders in Asia," which it most certainly is.

Bagan is really fantastic. I wish I had a video camera while I was there 10 years ago. The hot air balloons are a new thing. That must some view from above. thanks for the post.

This is one of my favorite places. I visited in 1999 and was all of 7 tourists in the whole country.

A true wonder of Asia no doubt.

I thought I heard, "..one of the natural wonders of the world." I do have aural dyslexia and, though I listened twice, may have been wrong on that. I apologise.
