The difference is the pace of the world has changed 100 fold.
Back when people were stacking stones on top of eachother, that was a lifetime's work. You can build about anything imaginable in a year these days. Anything sitting on land that is disused and needed will be taken down now.

London Underground though, maybe?
 
I imagine some of the buried structures governments have constructed will last forever*, although due to modern machinery, they are not the same feat of human endeavour.

* Unless they're intentionally demolished or it's the end of the world scenario.
 
Depends on your definition of modern. There are the “modern wonders of the world” but as they include the Taj Mahal and Great Wall of China, maybe not that modern.
 
All your threads. Can see the V&A doing a retrospective on them eventually.."the pinnacle of human thought"
 
There's an indian face being carved somewhere in America, it bigger than Mt Rushmore
