The article that is linked above said that the Egyptians removed the pyramids from consideration because they are the only surviving wonder of the world. They are mentioed as "honorary" new wonder of the world.

I somehow totally missed that part. Thanks! Of course, it's not like I don't look at enough Old Kingdom funerary architecture to begin with, so I guess I can be cool with that.
