27 Unst Boat Haven For many hundreds of years Unst has lain in the midst of one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. The small wooden boats fished for cod and ling which were cleaned, split, salted and dried on the stony beaches. The dried fish were then shipped abroad in massive quantities. Boats like the sixereen ‘FAR HAAF’ were capable of fishing thirty miles off shore., while sturdy fourereens fished nearer the coast. With the onset of sudden storms there were disastrous results.

32 Museu Comorcal de l'Horta Sud The museum is a center where the cultural heritage of the region of l'Horta Sud is exposed. It performs the functions of exhibition, conservation and diffusion of the ethnographic heritage of the municipalities of the south of Valencia. Among its objectives is the social and cultural dynamization of its territory based on the elements and signs of identity that have shaped the personality of the region, where the rural heritage and its landscape are fundamental. El museo expone el patrimonio cultural de la comarca de l’Horta Sud. Desempeña las funciones de exposición, conservación y difusión del patrimonio etnográfico de los municipios del sur de Valencia. Entre sus objetivos se halla la dinamización social y cultural de su territorio en base a los elementos y señas de identidad que han configurado la personalidad de la comarca, donde el patrimonio rural y su paisaje son fundamentales. l Museu Comarcal de l'Horta Sud Josep Ferrís March nace por iniciativa de la Fundación para el Desarrollo de l’Horta Sud dentro de sus programas de actuación con la finalidad de dar a conocer la cultura tradicional de la comarca que durante siglos ha constituido, sin duda, la señal de identidad que ha otorgado una personalidad propia a este territorio. En noviembre de 1995 la Fundación adquiere la propiedad de un inmueble situado en la antigua calle del Pi para instalar el museo. A partir de ese momento empieza la tarea de recogida de piezas que han aportado los vecinos de la comarca para poder configurar las colecciones. El museo, de acuerdo con la legislación autonómica vigente, fue reconocido como tal mediante orden del Concejal de Cultura, Educación y Ciencia de la Generalitat Valenciana el 28 de febrero de 1996. Para gestionar el museo se ha adoptado la forma jurídica de un consorcio, que actualmente está formado por cuatro instituciones: la Mancomunitat Intermunicipal de l’Horta Sud, el Ayuntamiento de Torrent, la Fundación para el Desarrollo de l’Horta Sud y Caixa Rural Torrent. Este consorcio se constituyó el 3 de mayo de 2000, motivo por el que la Fundación para el Desarrollo de l’Horta Sud cedió al consorcio el uso del edificio y de las colecciones aportadas hasta ese momento. Las obras de rehabilitación del inmueble finalizaron a finales del año 1999, cuando empezaron los trabajos de montaje de la exposición permanente. Las instalaciones fueron inauguradas y abiertas al público el 28 de junio de 2000 por parte del entonces Presidente .

75 Vatnajökull National Park Org Vatnajökull National Park was established in 2008. It includes the national parks in Skaftafell (est. 1967) and Jökulsárgljúfur (est. 1973) along with the Vatnajökull ice cap itself and extensive areas around it. Vatnajökull National Park is characterised by diversity on all fronts, be it landscape, biosphere, cultural remains or service levels. For simplification, however, it may be placed into two categories: uninhabited highland areas with limited services and lowland areas with higher service levels. The park‘s visitor centres are all located in lowland areas. Each of them has an exhibition about the park‘s nature and cultural heritage. Each also has a souvenir shop with special emphasis on local handicraft and products. Museum Tuesday 08th of December 2020 03:18:02 PM Monday 27th of March 2023 01:19:10 PM

90 Shetland Bus Friendship Society 'The Shetland Bus', was a Shetland based boat operation to and from Norway, that took place during the Second World War (1939 - 1945). The website is dedicated to all those who gave of their lives in the extremely hazardous boat trips between Shetland and Norway, to assist the Norwegian resistance movement. The conditions under which they operated, the difficulties of crossing the North Sea at night, with no lights and far from any possible help, can scarcely be imagined today. Always present in the minds of those on board would have been the threat of discovery and the risk of being shot at by German planes or boats, and possibly captured when they finally reached the Norwegian coast. Pictures, words and some audio files are available on this website, so please feel free to look around. A waltz (a 792k WAV file) was even written in honour of the extraordinary achievements. The 'HITRA' on a recent visit to Scalloway, in Shetland The project was initiated by, and has been coordinated by, Colin Nicol who is head of history at the Scalloway Junior High School.

91 Wick Heritage Museum The Wick Heritage Museum can be found in a rather small, nondescript house near the harbour of the far north-Scotland town of Wick. But don't let its size fool you as this museum is housed in a tardis-like building that's way bigger than you might at first imagine. The museum is dedicated to keeping the history of this quiet fishing town alive through a series of exhibitions that take visitors into the past with photos, Caithness glass displays, life-size fishing boats and restored machinery. As you explore the 20+ rooms that head off in all directions you'll discover an array of fascinating objects and lovingly restored artworks as well as several enthusiastic volunteers, all of which add up to making the Wick Heritage Museum a surprisingly good tourist attraction Museum Tuesday 08th of December 2020 03:46:34 PM Tuesday 08th of December 2020 03:46:34 PM

128 St Andrews Cathedral Priory - 1318 St Andrews Cathedral was once the largest and most important church in Scotland. In the late fifteenth century the chronicler Walter Bower described St Andrews Cathedral as ‘the lady and mistress of the whole kingdom’. There has been a religious site in St Andrews since the early Middle Ages. In the 1160s work began on a vast new cathedral, replacing the church now known as St Rule’s. The rebuilt cathedral was eventually consecrated in July 1318 in the presence of King Robert the Bruce. St Andrews Cathedral served as a major religious centre until 1559, when it was ‘reformed’ by Protestant activists who made a bonfire of its religious images. In the years after the Reformation the cathedral gradually fell into ruins. When Dr Samuel Johnson visited in the 1770s he commented on the ‘poor remains’ of a formerly ‘spacious and majestic building’. This reconstruction shows the cathedral in about 1318. It was created by researchers at the University of St Andrews. The cathedral site is now managed by Historic Scotland, and a version of the reconstruction can be seen in their visitor centre.

132 St Salvator's College - 1559 St Salvator's Quad is one of the best known landmarks in St Andrews. For more than five centuries the tall tower of St Salvator's has dominated the local skyline. Yet much of the rest of the design of St Salvator's Quad has been completely transformed in the years since Bishop James Kennedy established a College dedicated to Christ the Saviour in 1450. Now researchers from the University of St Andrews and Smart History take a first look at creating a new 3D digital reconstruction of St Salvator's College as it may have appeared in its medieval heyday. This reconstruction of St Salvator's is the first phase in a wider project to digitally reconstruct the appearance of the whole burgh of St Andrews just before the upheavals of the Protestant Reformation permanently changed the townscape of Scotland's religious capital.

134 Holy Trinity Church - 1559 Holy Trinity 1559 Holy Trinity Church in St Andrews has played a major role in Scotland’s religious life since the Middle Ages. It was central to the events of the Scottish Reformation. Indeed, it was at Holy Trinity that the 16th century Protestant leader John Knox first preached in public. Yet even before this, Holy Trinity was a significant Catholic church. In the 1520s Archbishop James Beaton described it as the most important parish church in the country. Over the generations the buildings of Holy Trinity have undergone major changes. Indeed the church was almost completely rebuilt (barring the tower) at the start of the 20th century. This reconstruction of Holy Trinity as it may have appeared in 1559 was created by the Smart History team in St Andrews (led by Dr Alan Miller). It is based on research into historical images and written records (including property documents) undertaken by Dr Bess Rhodes, Peryn Westerhof Nyman, and Chelsea Reutcke. The digital reconstruction was created by Sarah Kennedy. A virtual reality version of the reconstruction can be experienced as part of the Divine and Human exhibition at Holy Trinity Church, South Street, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9NL (which runs until 31 October 2019).

140 Edinburgh - 1544 In May 1544 an English army gathered on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Led by the Earl of Hertford (brother to Henry VIII’s third wife Jane Seymour) the English had orders to ‘burn Edinburgh town’, and leave the Scottish capital ‘so razed and defaced’ that ‘there may remain forever a perpetual memory of the vengeance of God’. Fortunately for the residents of Edinburgh, the English failed to fully achieve their aims. A combination of Edinburgh’s natural geographic advantages, and determined defence by gunners based at the Castle, frustrated much of the English efforts. After harrying the Scottish capital for less than two weeks Hertford’s forces withdrew. The English claimed that following their assaults on Edinburgh ‘neither within the walls nor in the suburbs was left any one house unburnt beside the innumerable bodies, pillages and spoils that our soldiers brought from thence’. The reality was probably more complicated. Although Holyrood and the Canongate seem to have sustained significant damage, the extent of destruction in the heart of the burgh of Edinburgh is debatable. The Edinburgh 1544 Project reconstructs the appearance of the Scottish capital on the eve of these momentous events. Inspired by a drawing in the British Library made by the English military engineer Richard Lee (who accompanied Hertford’s expedition, and took part in the sack of Holyrood), the reconstruction visualises the historic burghs of Edinburgh and the Canongate as they may have appeared just before Hertford’s forces arrived. You can explore the groundbreaking reconstruction of sixteenth-century Edinburgh both via this website, and our Virtual Time Binoculars, a new virtual reality app for iOS and android devices.

In the 1980’s Dr David Caldwell conducted excavations at the fort, with his knowledge and archaeological evidence, along with historical research undertaken in the School of History we have created a virtual representation of how we believe the fort may have looked in 1557. The Eyemouth model recreates the English and French fortifications above the town. Constructed during the ‘Rough Wooing’ in the sixteenth century Eyemouth Fort played a pivotal role in the relationship between Scotland, England and France. All that remain today are the enormous earthworks, and it can be difficult to understand the remains without seeing them from the air. We made this digital reconstruction as part of the Virtual Histories Project for Eyemouth Museum. Reconstruction Wednesday 23rd of December 2020 02:52:47 PM Monday 29th of March 2021 05:57:22 PM
144 Abernethy - 1072 In 1072 the small Scottish village of Abernethy was the site of a meeting between the King of Scots, Malcolm Canmore, and William of Normandy (who had recently conquered England). In a show of force William brought a fleet of ships up the River Tay, and Malcolm made an oath of loyalty to the English ruler. Exactly what Malcolm believed he was promising is still debated by historians. At this time Abernethy was an important religious centre, and home to a community of Culdees or Céli Dé (which means ‘client of God’ in Gaelic). The Culdees were Christian holy men who followed a form of religious life developed in Ireland during the Early Middle Ages. Today Abernethy is famous for its tall early medieval round tower – an extraordinary survival from the time of the Culdees. There is only one other tower of this type in Scotland (at Brechin Cathedral), although they are more common in Ireland. The tower probably served as a bell tower and treasury. Researchers from the University of St Andrews’ Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History collaborated with the Tay Landscape Partnership and Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust to recreate how Abernethy might have looked in the 1070s. The resulting digital reconstruction shows the tower, church, and dwellings of the Culdees and their tenants. An interactive virtual reality version of the reconstruction can be explored at the Museum of Abernethy.

146 Perth - 1440 Perth is the perfect place to live in Medieval times. It’s a rich and influential city. It sits at important cross roads for trade in Scotland. The River Tay is still deep enough for ships to arrive, it is the lowest possible crossing point without much danger, and it is easy to reach by road from the West, the South and the North. Perth was built on commerce, royal patronage and the hard work of its citizens, manufacturing high value goods out of material from the land around. Leather was used to create the finest gloves, wool and flax to make linen and clothing, and salmon was exported wide and far. What luxury the citizens needed was imported by ship and road from across Scotland, Scandinavia, England, the Baltic states, France and the Low Countries bordering the North Sea. Life was good with wine from France, timber from the Baltic, pottery from Holland and France, and other goods from across Europe. Perth was one of the five wealthiest cities in Scotland and prestigious enough for the kings to hold parliament here 14 times in the 15th century. The citizens took pride in what they had achieved. Life was good in town – if it wasn’t for the repeated times of flooding, washing away houses and bridges, water being contaminated by cess pits, or lives being threatened by epidemics (plagues, water-borne diseases) running through the densely built up settlement. The ground was soggy, and when houses were demolished, they built new ones on top. Buried material is still found today and is in very good condition, telling us a lot about life in Medieval Perth.

148 Moredun Top Hillfort - 50 Hillforts feature regularly on the landscape of the Ochil and Sidlaw hills and a number have been excavated and studied in the past. Many of those studies were undertaken by Victorian archaeologists, who had no access to carbon dating, but the sites are likely to have been used over a wide time-frame. Though the occupants of each are likely to have been power-brokers within the local area, none straddled the land like those who ruled from Moncreiffe Hill. The stronghold would have been ideal for security and defence, offering commanding views of approach by land or water.

In the Carse of Gowrie local clays were used for building from pre-historic times through to the nineteenth century. Today about forty clay buildings survive in the Carse of Gowrie. The former school house at Cottown is a particularly fine example of the type of clay building that was once common in the Carse. The Cottown School House was begun in the mid-eighteenth century. However, like many vernacular buildings its form evolved over time. The University of St Andrews’ Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History collaborated with the Tay Landscape Partnership and Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust on a representation of the buildings at Cottown as they may have appeared in the nineteenth century. The Cottown School House is now cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Reconstruction Wednesday 23rd of December 2020 03:40:08 PM Tuesday 30th of March 2021 05:17:21 PM

154 Illicit Whisky Still - 1820 The Illicit Still Experience engages audiences in the area’s unique history in illegal whisky creation and smuggling. The area is now known for famous – and legitimate – distilleries as well as for it’s beautiful and rugged countryside. Using the latest in VR technology, the exhibit aims to immerse visitors into the virtual lost landscape of Ballanloan, a township in the middle of the whisky trade in the 1800’s. The exhibit lets visitors explore in the open world of the virtual environment as well as learn about the whisky making process. It also has a modern tour of locations that can be found today in the landscape. The creation of the interactive was to educate visitors about the history before discovering the landscape in the area for themselves. It also allows entry to locations that may not be easily accessed by all guests to Tomintoul. Reconstruction Wednesday 23rd of December 2020 03:42:11 PM Tuesday 30th of March 2021 11:22:44 AM

156 Lair Longhouses, Glenshee - 800 This video was created in conjunction with Perth & Kinross Heritage Trust and the University of St Andrews, School of Computer Science, Open Virtual Worlds Research Team as a Student Project in the Summer of 2019. For more information on the project, visit http://pkht.org.uk/projects/current-projects/glenshee/. Glenshee, in north-east Perth and Kinross, is a beautiful and distinctive landscape that is remarkably rich in archaeological remains - from prehistoric stone circles and burial cairns to Pictish longhouses, and the fermtouns and sheilings of the 19th century. The Glenshee Archaeology Project was developed by Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust and delivered in partnership with Northlight Heritage between 2012 and 2017. Through ‘citizen science’, the project aimed to address the neglected narrative of north-east Perth and Kinross, uncover the fascinating story of prehistoric and early historic life in Glenshee and share this with residents and visitors. The initial thrust of the project was concerned with the so-called 'Pitcarmick' style buildings in the uplands around the glen and investigated several rare Pictish turf and stone longhouses dating to around 500-1000 AD. It also explored related features of the wider landscape, such as clearance cairns, trackways and boundaries. The Pitcarmick buildings were first identified in the uplands of north-east Perthshire in the late 1980's (RCAHMS 1990). Their date, function and relationship to other archaeological sites remains poorly understood, as very few have been excavated, the notable exception being the site in Strathardle (Carver et al 2013) from which the group takes its name. The site-type is important as early medieval buildings are rarely found elsewhere in Scotland, with the exception of Viking settlement in the Outer Isles (ScARF 2010). Like Pitcarmick, the Lair site comprises a relatively dispersed settlement of long-houses around an earlier prehistoric settlement (itself consisting of round houses of probable late Bronze Age or possibly Iron Age date). These are all set around a ring-cairn of probable earlier Bronze Age date. Reconstruction Wednesday 23rd of December 2020 03:44:24 PM Monday 10th of May 2021 04:03:35 PM

158 Bennachie Colony - 1850 During the early nineteenth century crofters driven out from their original homes settled on common land at Bennachie in Aberdeenshire. They established a community which became known as the Bennachie colony. The inhabitants of the colony undertook work such as quarrying, building dry stone walls, and small-scale farming. In the mid-nineteenth century more than 50 people lived at Bennachie. However, they were technically regarded as squatters. During the late nineteenth century local landlords made efforts to clear the community. The person to live in the colony was George Esson, who died in 1939. Researchers from the University of St Andrews’ Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History worked with the local conservation group the Bailies of Bennachie to represent the appearance of the colony at its height in the mid-nineteenth century. The project also recorded stories about the community. A trail app is available to guide visitors around Bennachie, linking the modern landscape with representations of its historic appearance .Using historical research, digital reconstructions, archaeology, stories song and theater, the app reveals the lives of these incredible people for current and future generations to appreciate.

160 Caen Highland Township - 1813 During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the inhabitants of many small farming communities in the Scottish Highlands were forced to leave their homes. Under the guise of improvement landlords drove out traditional subsistence farmers and created a much less densely occupied landscape. One of the communities affected by this process of ‘clearance’ was the township of Caen in Sutherland. Caen was located in the lower part of the Strath of Kildonan. This area was cleared particularly brutally by representatives of the Duke of Sutherland between 1813 and 1819. Several families resisted the clearances and soldiers were sent from Fort George to maintain order. Today only a few foundations indicate where a thriving farming community once stood. This reconstruction shows the Caen township as it may have looked in 1813, just before the families who lived and worked here were forced out from the Strath of Kildonan.

162 Kildonan - Iron Age During the Iron Age the Strath of Kildonan in Sutherland was home to many small farming communities. The relatively mild climate of this period enabled the cultivation of barley, wheat, and oats, and the keeping of horses, sheep, and cattle. Although much of the land had been cleared for agriculture, areas of woodland survived (providing shelter for deer, wild boar, and wolves). The Iron Age residents of Kildonan lived in circular roundhouses, made of stone and turf, with conical thatched roofs. Hut circles from these long ago dwellings can still be seen today. More than 350 hut circles have been identified in Kildonan. The roundhouses provided shelter for humans and animals. They were focused around a central hearth, with bays for sleeping and stalls for animals towards the walls of the house. Roundhouses were common throughout the British Isles. However, many of the roundhouses in Kildonan have specific regional variations – including passageways in the walls. This reconstruction shows how roundhouses near Caen in the Strath of Kildonan may have looked about 2000 years ago. The dwellings are set within a wider landscape, which was already profoundly shaped by human activity. Partial deforestation, and the impact of growing crops and grazing animals, made this Iron Age environment far from its original wild state.

164 Helmsdale - 1890 During the nineteenth century the village of Helmsdale in Sutherland was one of the largest centres for herring fishing in Scotland. The village and harbour were built around 1818 as part of efforts at economic development by the Sutherland Estate. The new fishing port was intended to provide employment and housing for families who had been forcibly driven out from farms in the Kildonan area during the Highland clearances. This reconstruction shows how Helmsdale may have looked in about 1890, when the herring trade was still thriving. Fish was unloaded on the shore and then taken along to the curing yards, where it was processed and packed into barrels for transport to other parts of the United Kingdom and overseas. Herring from Helmsdale was sent as far away as the West Indies – where in the early nineteenth century it formed part of the diet of slaves working on the plantations. The modern Timespan centre is on the site of the nineteenth century curing yard represented in this reconstruction.

166 Finlaggan - 1450 "In the late medieval period, Loch Finlaggan in Islay of the Inner Hebrides was an important power base. The two islands of Eilean Mor (or Large Isle) and Eilean na Comhairle (or Council Isle) on the loch were the site of a major residence of the Lords of the Isles, who governed the Hebrides and parts of mainland Scotland and Ulster. A complex of buildings spanned the two islands, connected by a causeway, and served as the administrative and ceremonial centre. Research has revealed the comfort and wealth of the area, with dogs wearing decorative collars, and the Lords and their followers enjoying music, imported wine and board games. The lordship was traditionally held by the MacDonald family, who rule stretched from Antrim in Ireland to the north east of Scotland. Drawing on the findings of the Finlaggan Archaeological Project, researchers at the University of St Andrews and Smart History have created a new digital reconstruction of Finlaggan as it may have appeared in the fifteenth century – in the latter phase of its medieval glory days. During this period, the Scottish kings were trying to reign in the influence of the MacDonalds. In the 1490s, for instance, James IV sent a military expedition to sack Finlaggan, destroying many of the buildings. The site subsequently sank into obscurity.

The site of this old fishing station is being lost to coastal erosion, and the model is a way of preserving this part of our history, before it is lost to the sea. Fethaland lies within two bays at the northern tip of Northmavine and is the farthest north point of Shetland mainland. Fethaland, has a long history of human settlement, spanning from prehistoric times right up until the twentieth century, when the fishing station, established during the 15th and 16th centuries, became redundant. This haaf (deep-sea) fishing station was at one time the busiest in Shetland, with around 60 boats operating from here. The season was short: from June until August. The workers were accommodated in lodges. These huts were drystone with roofs of wood and turf that were removed at the end of each season to protect them from damage by winter storms. The fish were split open and dried on the pebble beach before being exported to market. From the 17th century herring was also brought ashore and salted. This Virtual Histories Project has been a collaboration between The University of St Andrews, Open Virtual Worlds Group based at School of Computer Science, School of History, and the SCAPE Trust and Shetland Museum & Archive.

St Kilda is one of the few World Heritage Sites to hold mixed status for its natural and cultural qualities. St Kilda is of Outstanding Universal Value for its exceptional natural beauty and significant habitats. It is unique in the very high bird densities that occur in a relatively small area, linked to its range of complex and varied ecological niches. The complex ecological dynamic in the marine zones is essential to the maintenance of both marine and terrestrial biodiversity. The cultural landscape is an outstanding example of land use resulting from a type of subsistence economy based on the products of birds, agriculture and sheep farming and reflecting age-old traditions. The built structures and field systems, the cleits and the traditional stone houses bear testimony to over two millennia of human occupation in extreme conditions.

174 Skriðuklaustur Monastery - 1550 The Skriðuklaustur cloister was the last one to be founded during Iceland’s Catholic period, i.e. shortly before the country’s 16th-century Reformation. It was thus active for less than six decades, and could scarcely be said to have flourished for more than about four decades. The deed of gift is still preserved whereby the couple Sesselja Þorsteinsdóttir and the local sheriff Hallsteinn Þorsteinsson, who lived on the other side of this valley at Víðivellir ytri, donated Skriða farm as the site for a cloister. Although this deed was signed on 8 June 1500, it is considered certain that the cloister was founded sooner, probably in 1493 when Stefán Jónsson, bishop at Skálholt, came on his first visitation to this valley. A legend tells of a 15th-century miracle here in the valley of Fljótsdalur. As was often the case, the Valþjófsstaðir priest rode his horse along the valley in order to attend to a dying parishioner. When he arrived, he discovered that he had lost everything he needed for the last sacrament, Extreme Unction, so a farm boy was sent looking. Following the well-worn trail, he was passing below the farmhouses at Skriða when he noticed the wine chalice standing full of wine on a grassy hummock, with the paten over it holding the bread. This was considered to be a miracle which, according to the legend, was commemorated by building a chapel here, with its altar located where the hummock had been. Somewhat later, the cloister was founded here. Reconstruction Wednesday 23rd of December 2020 04:13:58 PM Monday 29th of March 2021 05:40:57 PM

This area of the Scottish coastline is home to a remarkable mix of marine life, including grey seals, bottlenose dolphins, and minke whales. Underwater kelp forests are home to many species of fish and extraordinary creature such as sea urchins, starfish, and sea slugs. To highlight the diversity of underwater habitats the Berwickshire Marine Reserve collaborated with the University of St Andrews’ Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History on a digital representation of three different marine environments.

184 Dun an Sticir - Iron Age The site of Dun an Sticir on North Uist forms a reminder of how different societies adapted and reused structures over time. About 2000 years ago a broch was built on a man-made island in Loch an Sticir. Brochs were relatively tall circular buildings which were used as dwellings and defensive structures by the inhabitants of Northern and Western Scotland during the Iron Age. Dun an Sticir appears to have continued to be inhabited during the Viking period. In the High Middle Ages the (by then very ancient) broch was converted into a small hall or tower house.

Using the data gathered by archaeologist Oliver O’Grady and working with historical experts Prof Richard Fawcett and Prof Richard Oram we created a 3D virtual model to help us better understand the Scone Abbey site. This reconstruction is part of the larger project entitled ‘Royal Scone: parliament, inauguration and national symbol’. Professor Richard Oram, project leader and Professor of Environmental and Medieval History at the University of Stirling said: “Despite Scone’s importance in Scottish identity and Scotland’s history, there is currently limited understanding of the site, the function of its components, and the nature of the activities undertaken there. This project will assemble a network of researchers in archaeology, architectural history, legal and political history – including representatives from Historic Scotland – to develop a wider and more accurate picture of what royal Scone was like.” In 2007 Dr O’Grady conducted archaeological research on the site of Scone, which revealed most of surviving ground-plan of the medieval abbey church and also the original form of the Moot Hill royal assembly mound and its enclosures. He explains, “This project is a great opportunity to cut through all the myths surrounding Scone and create a new informed account of Scone’s place in our national story and international heritage sites.” Reconstruction Tuesday 29th of December 2020 02:39:15 PM Monday 29th of March 2021 05:59:18 PM

190 Holyrood Palace - 1544 The abbey of Holyrood was founded in the twelfth century. During the late Middle Ages the monastery’s guest house gradually evolved into a royal residence. In the early 1500s King James IV ordered the creation of a new palace next to the original religious buildings. His son, James V (the father of Mary Queen of Scots), continued the building work, creating an impressive Renaissance residence. In May 1544 the English sacked both the palace and abbey. The Earl of Hertford, who commanded the English forces, boasted that he left Holyrood Abbey ‘wholly burnt and desolate’.

It was lavishly decorated with statues and stained glass, and housed the altars of the local craft guilds. The feast day of St Giles (on 1st September) was marked by a religious procession along the Royal Mile. In 1558 Protestant Reformers disrupted the religious festivities, throwing a statue of St Giles to the ground, and smashing it upon the paving stones. Two years later Scotland officially rejected Catholicism, and St Giles’ became a Protestant place of worship.

In May 1544 it was attacked by the English, who blew the gates open with a culverin (a type of cannon with a relatively long-range). The Netherbow was remodelled in the 1570s, and a central tower seems to have been added around this date. The gateway was eventually demolished in the mid-eighteenth-century as it was a hindrance to traffic. Reconstruction Tuesday 29th of December 2020 03:22:13 PM Tuesday 30th of March 2021 11:10:41 AM

198 Cowgate - 1544 The Cowgate lies towards the southern side of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. It probably developed as a street in the early fourteenth century. By the sixteenth century Cowgate was considered one of the more prosperous parts of Edinburgh. The writer and theologian Alexander Alesius (who was born in Edinburgh in 1500) claimed that Cowgate was where ‘the nobility and chief men of the burgh reside’. In the early sixteenth century the archbishop of St Andrews had a residence there, which survived until Victorian times. In 2017 the University of St Andrews’ Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History created a digital representation of Cowgate in the sixteenth century. The video shows housing and then the churchyard which ran down the hill from the back of St Giles’ Kirk. The reconstruction was part of a wider project imagining the appearance of Edinburgh in 1544 (the year of a major attack by an English army led by the Earl of Hertford). The project was funded by Innovate UK. A virtual reality version of the reconstruction can be explored with the free Edinburgh 1544 app. Reconstruction Tuesday 29th of December 2020 03:24:08 PM Tuesday 30th of March 2021 05:18:39 PM

200 West Bow - 1544 The West Bow was a steep z-shaped street which formed the main route between the Royal Mile and the Grassmarket. The narrow road was shadowed by buildings with projecting galleries and overhanging upper storeys. By the early nineteenth-century the properties in the West Bow had fallen on hard times, and in 1829 it was remarked that ‘few will regret their removal, to make room for modern improvements’. Only a few years later much of the West Bow was demolished to make way for the newly created Victoria Street.

By the 1470s the area was known as ‘Westirmart’, and seems to have been associated with the sale of timber, hats, and shoes. At the far end of the Grassmarket stood the gateway known as the West Port, which was in existence by at least 1509, and formed the western boundary of the burgh.

208 Brora Salt Pans - 16th and 18th century Salt production was an important industry in early modern Scotland. During the late sixteenth century Jean Gordon, Countess of Sutherland, ordered the construction of salt pans at the coastal site of Brora. Nearby coal deposits provided fuel for sea-water to be heated and salt extracted. In 2009 a community archaeology project excavated the Brora Salt Pans. The site was scanned and digital reconstructions created showing the probable appearance of the pans in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. At the time of the dig the site was under threat from coastal erosion. Sadly, bad storms in 2012 and 2013 have now washed away the majority of the archaeological remains – highlighting the importance of recording at risk locations before they are destroyed. The Brora Salt Pans project was a collaboration between Clyne Heritage Society, the SCAPE Trust, Timespan Museum and Arts Centre, and the University of St Andrews.

212 Callanish Site 10 - Neolithic The Isle of Lewis has an extraordinarily rich pre-historic landscape, with monuments dating back more than 5,000 years to the Neolithic period. The area around Callanish appears to have been a particularly important Neolithic ritual centre, with a concentration of impressive standing stones. The most famous of these is a cross-shaped arrangement of stones now known as Callanish I. The surrounding landscape contains the remains of several other megalithic structures, including the former stone circle now called Callanish X or Na Dromannan. The stones at Callanish X now lie on their sides but are thought to have once stood upright. These stones have now been scanned as part of the Calanais Virtual Reconstruction Project. Using 3D models of the stones and drone footage of the surrounding landscape the Open Virtual Worlds team and Smart History created a digital reconstruction of how the stones may have appeared when they were in their original locations. The Calanais Virtual Reconstruction Project was a collaboration between Urras nan Tursachan (the trust which runs the Calanais Visitor Centre), the University of Bradford, and the University of St Andrews. The project was led by Dr Richard Bates from the University of St Andrews’ School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and was funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

214 Linlithgow Palace - 1560 The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. Although maintained after Scotland’s monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Scotland. An earlier reconstruction of Linlithgow Palace undertaken by Education Scotland and Historic Scotland is now being developed further by ourselves, we have further developed the Palace model and added more detailed terrain data.

219 Museums at the University of St Andrews - Bridges The Bridges Collection was donated to the University of St Andrews by Mrs Bridges of St Andrews. Several cultural periods of Cyprus are represented by the artifacts in the collection. The Bronze and Iron Ages (particularly the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age) are very well represented with a variety of terracotta polished ware bowls, jugs and a sizable collection of figurines including masks and plank figurines commonly associated with this period in Cyprus. These periods have a large number of artifacts and therefore separate pages are available to view them in more detail. This digital collection was created by Catherine Cruickshank and was made possible by a collaboration between several departments within the University of St Andrews: School of Classics, Open Virtual Worlds (School of Computer Science), Museum Collections and School of Art History.

230 St Giles Kirk St Giles’ was the most important church in the burgh of Edinburgh (although it was not a cathedral until the 1630s). In 1544 St Giles’ was still a Catholic Church. It was lavishly decorated with statues and stained glass, and housed the altars of the local craft guilds. The feast day of St Giles (on 1st September) was marked by a religious procession along the Royal Mile. In 1558 Protestant Reformers disrupted the religious festivities, throwing a statue of St Giles to the ground, and smashing it upon the paving stones. Two years later Scotland officially rejected Catholicism, and St Giles’ became a Protestant place of worship. Music by the Edinburgh Renaissance Band - Ane Lessone upone the first psalme.

241 Guoqing Temple The Guoqing Temple is a Buddhist temple on Mount Tiantai, in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China. Originally built in 598 during the Sui Dynasty, and renovated during the reign of the Qing Yongzheng Emperor (r. 1722–1735). It was the initial site for the creation of the Tiantai school of Mahayana Buddhism, founded by Zhiyi (538–597 AD). In 598, according to Master Zhizhe's last wish, the ruler of Sui dynasty (581–618) built Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai. The Tiantai sect is the first Chinese Buddhist sect to evolve from the original Buddhism after it was spread to China. Its founder, Master Zhizhe, lived on Mount Tiantai in Zhejiang for a long time - hence the name Tiantai sect. In the Tang dynasty (618–907), a large number of Japanese diplomats came to China. In the second year of the Zhenyuan Period, namely AD 804, the eminent Japanese monk Saichō came with the diplomats. He learned the Tiantai doctrine in Guoqing Temple on Mount Tiantai introduced by Lu Chun, prefectural governor of Ningbo, Zhejiang. One year later, Saicho returned to Japan. Since then, the Guoqing Temple became the cradle of the Tiantai sect in Japan. This mountain temple is the site where indigenous Chinese Buddhism branched away from Buddhist teachings and doctrine commonly found in India. From there, the Tiantai sect of Buddhism spread to both Korea and Japan during the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD). The tall brick Guoqing Pagoda built at the temple in the year 597 AD is still standing, making it one of the oldest surviving brick pagodas in China Site Thursday 08th of April 2021 04:00:34 PM Monday 26th of April 2021 08:03:12 PM

247 Giant's Causeway Out of all of the many attractions that can be found in Northern Ireland, few, if any, are more famous and more renowned than the Giants Causeway. The Giant's Causeway is a location that would fit well into a fantasy novel or movie due to its alien appearance. It consists of roughly 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns that were formed in ancient times due to a number of volcanic eruptions that occurred over 50 million years ago. The name however comes from local legends that tell of an Irish giant who constructed the causeway, which was then destroyed when the giant got into a fight with another giant, who happened to be Scottish. In the current year, the Giants Causeway is a World Heritage site and receives hundreds of thousands of visitors a year and is often considered the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris, more commonly known simply as Notre-Dame, is a Catholic Cathedral that began construction around the year 1163 and took 182 years to complete. Even after 1345, changes and modifications were made to it to keep it preserved. It’s design was a pioneer for many different architectural techniques such as the flying buttress technique and the rib vault architecture. It is well known around the world due to its magnificent architecture and design and in 1991, was commissioned as a world heritage site by UNESCO due to its significance in the heritage sector.

251 Gowrie House Gowrie House is an intriguing piece of lost heritage. It was an old townhouse located in Perth, Scotland beside the River Tay and was constructed in the early 1520s. It was owned by the Ruthven family, an infamous yet noble family who held great power and wealth around the county. The most significant event to occur at the Gowrie House was a peculiar assaiantion attempt on King James VI of Scotland which took place on the 5th of August 1600. This event is known as the Gowrie Conspiracy and it involved the king being lured to Gowrie House by Alexander Ruthven who then tried to take the king's life, however both Alexander Ruthven and the 3rd Earl of Gowrie were subdued and murdered. The strange thing about this story is that it cannot be corroborated and most of the story was King James VI’s account. Many think the king had made the story up as there was a lot to gain from murdering the Ruthvens. Gowrie House was demolished in 1807 and the Sheriff court was built in its place. The only tangible thing left to acknowledge it is a plaque on the side of the courthouse. Site Friday 16th of April 2021 01:03:36 PM Friday 16th of April 2021 01:09:17 PM
252 Museo Lagomar One of Lanzarote’s most spectacular private properties, majestically formed around the same rocks from which it was built, a volcanic quarry with natural labyrinths and caves. A truly spectacular work of art created by Nature from the molten lava which once flowed down these same slopes of the ancient volcano above LagOmar. Originally conceived by César Manrique and designed by the artist Jesús Soto for the British developer Sam Benady with an architectural vision which could evoke mental imagery from the arabian nights mythology. In the early 1970s actor Omar Sharif came to Lanzarote to film “The Mysterious Island”, he visited LagOmar, fell in love with it and bought it. San Benady knowing Sharif’s reputation as a card player challenged him to a game of Bridge. Sharif accepted the challenge, not realizing that Benady was also a champion Bridge player, and allegedly lost the house. In 1989 architects Dominik von Boettinger from Germany and Beatriz van Hoff from Uruguay bought the house and initiated the last phase of development. They sought the advice of local artists and created a vernacular architecture inspired by the elements and the island’s capricious topography. The existing caves were refurbished using wood and artifacts from local shipwrecks, for the beams and lights. Local flora was incorporated in the design: cactus, palm, aloes and bougainvillea, to form an oasis within the rock. They used glass, washed concrete and pebbles to generate circular patios, the lake, cascades and a series of curvaceous spaces avoiding all forms of square tiling whatsoever.

271 The Great Pyramids Of Egypt The Giza Pyramids, built to endure an eternity, have marvelled the world since 4,500 years. The monumental tombs are relics of Egypt's Old Kingdom era, remarking an incredible feat of engineering and well defined architectural achievements. Mysteries of the Pyramids have always fascinated visitors and scholars to explore the mythology that led the pharaohs construct these formidable structures, which proved to be the some of the most indestructible pieces of architecture, and the only intact wonder among the Seven Wonders of Ancient World. In these decorated tombs one can visualize the wonderful scenes of every aspect of life in ancient Egypt. Giza is not just about how Egyptians died but how they lived. Tomb art includes depictions of ancient farmers working their fields and tending livestock, fishing and fowling, carpentry, costumes, religious rituals, and burial practices. The unbelievable intelligence behind the architecture of these Pyramids makes these structures even more elegant. Some of the stone blocks used to build the pyramids weigh in excess of 70 tons i.e. more than an elephant. There are more than 100 pyramids spread over the Giza Plateau. Napolean Boneparte once claimed a wall around France can be built from the pyramids. Site Friday 23rd of April 2021 03:38:38 AM Sunday 25th of April 2021 12:11:07 AM

278 Macquarie Island Macquarie Island is a subantarctic island owned by Tasmania, Australia, lying in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean, about halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica. Macquarie is recognised as the only place in the world where rocks from Earth’s mantle are actively exposed above sea level (a result of geologic activity). The island is part of the ocean crust formed in water six kilometres deep at a spreading ridge (known as Macquarie Ridge) in Miocene times, probably 600,000 years ago, and raised to its present height by the pressure of the Indian-Australian plate against the Pacific plate. The island is home to large variety of flora and fauna, with huge congregations of penguins and seals. Astonishingly, the island is the breeding ground for the Royal Penguins, an endemic species. Macquarie Island and its outlying islets are one of the most aesthetically pleasing and geologically unique places in the world.

293 Château de Chillon (Chillon Castle) HISTORY: Chillon Castle in its current form is the result of several centuries of construction and redevelopment. The excavations carried out from the end of the 19th century, particularly those led by archaeologist Albert Naef (1862-1936), indicate that the site has been occupied since the Bronze Age. The rocky island on which the castle sits constituted both a form of natural protection and a strategic positioning to control passage from the north to the south of Europe. The castle took on the oval shape of the genuine island upon which it was built. It is approximately 100m long and 50m wide. It also took its name from the rock; the word ‘Chillon’ meant ‘rocky platform’ in an ancient language. The history of the castle is marked by three great periods: those of the Savoy family, the Bernese bailiffs and the Canton of Vaud. COLLECTIONS: As an exceptional heritage monument, Chillon Castle has around 300 items on display throughout. With the exception of the furniture, weapons and armour, all of the items exhibited here were found during the archaeological digs carried out at the castle from 1896 to 1903. The collections belong to the Cantonal Museum of Archaeology & History of Lausanne under the name ‘fonds Chillon’ (Chillon Collection). In 1842, the Society for the History of Francophone Switzerland (SHSR) suggested setting up an antique museum in one of the castle halls. The Assocation for the Restoration of Chillon Castle was eventually founded in 1887. It put the society’s ideas into writing, building both the creation of a museum exhibiting the diverse periods of Vaudois history and the restoration of the castle into its statute. The state released funds for the purchase of various items for the collection. Ten years later, Chillon was literally stripped bare and archaeological excavations revealed hundreds of everyday objects dating from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. These collections remained at the castle until 2007. A substantial inventory was then taken and a new visitor itinerary created. The Chillon Castle Foundation – to which the Association passed the baton in 2002 – made the decision to place the focus on the castle’s architecture. Most of the objects were repatriated into storage at the Cantonal Museum, but a small selection was kept on display as part of the visitor itinerary, with the aim of illustrating the castle’s history.

303 West Lake West Lake is a freshwater lake in Hangzhou, China. It has influenced poets and painters throughout Chinese history for its natural beauty and historic relics, and it has also been among the most important sources of inspiration for Chinese garden designers. Over 2,000 years ago, West Lake was still a part of the Qiantang River. Due to soil sedimentation, the feet of Wu Mountain and Baoshi Mountains, the surrounding mountains on the northern and southern sides of the lake, gradually stretched to form shoal heads. Later, these sand spits slowly merged into a bank, to which a lagoon emerged to the west; this was the old West Lake of the Qin and Han dynasties. The renown west lake relies on the work of the poet and government official Bai Juyi in the Tang dynasty(785-804). He ordered the construction of a stronger and taller dyke, with a dam to control the flow of water, providing water for irrigation and mitigating the drought problem. He ordered the construction of a causeway named Baisha Causeway to allow crossing part of the lake on foot, instead of requiring the services of a boat. The scenery of the lake is further expended at the beginning of the Song dynasty(1086–1094). Another great poet, Su Shi, ordered dredging of the lake and piled up all the mud into another causeway, in the style of Bai Causeway, but much wider and nearly three times as long: he also planted willow trees along its banks. The Kangxi and Qianlong emperors of the Qing dynasty in 17-18th century toured South China and stopping by Hangzhou many times; which helped to expedite the revamping and rehabilitation of West Lake. The Kangxi Emperor visited Hangzhou five times, and wrote the names of "Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake" selected in the Southern Song dynasty. The local governor then inscribed the emperor's handwriting onto stelae and built pavilions over them. The work created the spot we can see today.

305 Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846 and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick, and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world. At the time of its construction, the dock was considered to be revolutionary in its design because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from or to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Today the Albert Dock is one of Liverpool's most important tourist attractions and a vital component of the city's UNESCO world heritage Maritime Mercantile City. As well as being the number one tourist attraction in Liverpool, the Albert Dock is also the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom outside London, with in excess of four million visitors per year.

307 The great wall of China The Great Wall of China is an ancient wall in China. The wall is made of cement, rocks, bricks, and dirt. It was finished in 1878[1] and it was meant to protect the north of the empire of China from enemy attacks. It is the longest structure humans have ever built. It is about 21,196 kilometers long, 9.1 metres (30 feet) wide and 15 metres high. The earlier sections on the wall are made of compacted dirt and stone. Later in the Ming Dynasty they used bricks. There are 7,000 watch towers, block houses for soldiers and beacons to send smoke signals. The First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang also called Shi Huangdi, started the Qin Dynasty. The Xiongnu tribes in the north of China were his enemies. The land in some parts of China is easy to cross, so Qin Shi Huang started building the Great Wall to make it more difficult for the Xiongnu to invade China. Other dynasties in China had worked more on the wall and made it longer. The Han, Sui, Northern and Jin Dynasties all repaired, rebuilt or expanded the Great Wall. During the Ming Dynasty, major rebuilding work took place. Sections of the wall were built with bricks and stone instead of earth. It took more than 2000 years for building and completion of the Great wall. Still Image Thursday 29th of April 2021 04:05:55 PM Thursday 29th of April 2021 04:14:51 PM

During the Middle Ages, Market Street was a place where local residents met to exchange goods, gossip, and watch the punishment of wrongdoers. Funding for the Market Street reconstruction was provided by the St Andrews Community Trust and the University of St Andrews’ Covid-19 Restarting Research Funding Scheme. This work was funded as part of 'Enabling Heritage Response to COVID-19 through Virtual Reality Exhibits, Virtual Museum Infrastructure and Capacity Building'.

Suzhou Imperial Kiln Ruins Park & Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick, is the ancient bricks specially made for the royal family, the Imperial Palace is built with Suzhou royal kiln gold bricks. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the gold bricks in the imperial kiln were the square bricks of the royal palace. Because of the complicated production process and high cost, the cost of a gold brick in the late Qing Dynasty was 9 yuan and 6 cents of silver, equivalent to 1 stone meter. The royal kiln brick is a wonderful work in the kiln brick firing industry in China. The production technology is complicated and there are more than 20 processes, among which the main processes are mud selection, mud training, billet making, kiln loading, firing, scenting water, kiln, grinding, etc. Road working procedure, ring ring closely, a substandard, all the previous efforts are wasted. With the fall of the feudal dynasty, the former royal kilns began to produce ordinary bricks and tiles, and the technology of making gold bricks was on the verge of being lost. In 2006, the State Council listed the manufacturing process of the gold bricks in the royal kiln as the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list, and the ancient kiln site was listed as the provincial cultural relic protection unit. Finally, the kiln has been freed from the state of existence and has a government umbrella to protect it. Suzhou Imperial Kiln Ruins Park & Museum of Imperial Kiln Brick has become the only designated brick for the renovation of ancient royal buildings such as the Palace Museum of the Imperial Palace in Beijing and the Temple of Heaven. Tian 'anmen Square, the Hall of Prayer for Good Plains of the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, Beihai Park, and the Garden of King Gong's Palace all use Lu Mu Imperial Kiln Brick, and have also gone across the ocean, exports the United States New York Ming Xuan and Xichun Garden, Singapore Yunxiu Garden, Japan Ikeda City Hexagonal Pavilion and many other domestic and foreign classical architecture.

364 Shadow Puppets China is the hometown of Shadow Puppets. Shadow Puppet has a history of more than two thousand years. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of generations of folk artists. It combines painting, sculpture, literature, music and stage performance, and is known as the “living fossil” of Chinese folk art. In The General History of Cinema, Georges Sardur of France called Chinese Shadow Puppets the forerunner of films. In his book The People's Theater, Hun Silou declared that “the source of sound films cannot but praise Chinese shadow play as the ancestor of the mountains”. Shadow Puppets, also known as "shadow play" or "lantern play", is a traditional opera form in which stories are performed by cutting images out of animal skins or cardboard and using lights to illuminate the cut images. It is popular in a wide range and forms different types and schools due to the different sounds performed in different places. There are various theories about the origin of shadow play, among which the most popular one is that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty asked a magician to conjure up spirits by illusionization because he missed the dead Mrs. Li. In fact, the origin of shadow play is closely related to the ancient shadow play, folk shadow play, ancient carving, folk paper-cut modeling, worship belief and so on. The country attaches great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritages. On May 20, 2006, it was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritages list approved by the State Council. On June 8, 2007, hubei yunmeng shadow puppetry art troupe and shandong bb0 fan zheng an shadow puppetry studio won the first cultural heritage day award issued by the national ministry of culture.

368 Great Serpent Mound Located on a plateau along the Ohio Brush Creek the Great Serpent Mound is an ancient effigy mound reaching 411 metres in length, resembling a giant snake. Archaeologists to this day still debate the origin of the mound, with some claiming that radiocarbon studies show it to be more than 2000 years old, dating back to the Adena culture in the 4th century BC. What is potentially most fascinating about the Serpent Mound is that the serpent’s open mouth perfectly aligns with the summer solstice sunset, while the tail points to the winter solstice sunrise. It is for this reason that the heritage is considered to have been of temporal significance in order to mark dates; however it may also have held spiritual significance as graves and burial sites were discovered near the mound.

371 Cave of Altamira The Cave of Altamira, located in the Spanish region of Cantabria, contains some of the oldest wall art known to man, with some of the paintings dating as far back as the Upper Palaeolithic period over 36,000 years ago. Around 13,000 years ago a rock fall sealed the cave’s entrance, preserving its contents until a nearby tree fell and disturbed the fallen rocks. Discovered in 1868, the cave was investigated further by a local nobleman that, alongside the art, unearthed a number of animal bones and stone tools. Due to its isolation from external climactic influences, the cave’s wall art is particularly well preserved in comparison to other prehistoric art that has been discovered.

Most archaeologists believe that the site was built as an estate for Pachacuti, the Inca emperor at the time, however it was abandoned a century later during the Spanish conquest. Because of the high status of the citadel, it was mostly home to members of Pachacuti’s lineage, religious elite, and highly specialised artisans.

377 Pak Ou Caves At the junction of the Mekong and Ou rivers in Laos, near the World Heritage town of Luang Prabang, lie two cliff caves accessible by boat. Thousands of Buddha statues have been placed in these caves. For centuries, people from local towns deposited their old Buddha statues and other Buddhist relics here, making this place a very important religious site. During Laos’ New Year in April, locals visit these caves to wash in the river water and care for the statues. Most of the statues are wooden, resin, or animal bones decorated in reds, blues, and golds. This is a unique religious site as these are images of the Buddha that were once used but now have been discarded. Still, even in their final place, they create an air of worship and spirituality. The lower cave, Tham Ting, is also a place for burning offerings. The bigger and deeper upper cave, Tham Theung, is accessible from several steps along the cliffside.

The double-walled city supported an estimated population of 2,500 people. The ruins show that the people were Muslims, with three mosques found in the city. Pillar tombs have been found in the design of medieval Swahili coastal settlements. Surviving stone houses indicate that elite families lived within the inner wall of the city. These houses are built with coral stones from the Indian Ocean, in contrast with the thatched-roofed mud buildings which were present between the outer and inner walls. Ruins of a Palace where the city's sheikh lived are also present. Several artefacts were found that shed light on the people who lived there, including shells used as currency for trade, beads, and pottery. Chinese and Asian ceramics were also found highlighting the importance of this town as an East African trade centre. Site Sunday 16th of May 2021 02:00:44 PM Monday 17th of May 2021 04:10:51 PM

386 Uros Floating Islands at Lake Titicaca The Uros people live on floating islands in Lake Titicaca, Peru. They have been building these islands from reeds and straw since pre-Incan times. Originally, they were used as a means of defence, moving from land onto them and floating towards the middle of the lake at the sign of an attack. Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in South America, located in Peru and Bolivia, and the highest navigable lake in the world. Although most of the population now live in the town of Puno, on the mainland, some still live on the islands as their families before them. They live a traditional modest life: fishing, building boats, and creating souvenir crafts. Their aim is to preserve the culture of the Uros people and showcase it to the many tourists who visit their islands. The islands are also an opportunity for scientists and students to work on sustainability projects, such as developing filters which help remove pollutants from the water. These islands serve as an example of developing new technologies to preserve cultural heritage. Site Sunday 16th of May 2021 10:26:40 PM Monday 17th of May 2021 04:44:10 PM

452 Chinese Shadow Art (from Wang's Shadow Museum) The Shadow puppetry is a form of theatrical performance with over 1000 years of history. The puppets used in performance are made from animal skins. The material is usually semi- transparent and dyed in multiple colours, so they would appear colourful when casted onto the screen. From Tang dynasty to Qing dynasty, the shadow puppetry remains one of the people’s favourite forms of art as it kept reinventing itself to survive. Although it has never disappeared from Chinese people’s life, it has lost the position as the popular way of entertainment nowadays. As one of the major national intangible heritage, the shadow art has received sufficient funds and support from the government. Dedicated museums such as the Wang’s Shadow Museum has been established. Online performance and master classes are hosted on a regular basis. In 2020, the Google arts and culture started leveraging emergent technologies such as the TensorFlow to enable users to experience the art more interactively using gestures. Digital exhibition has also been curated, drawing people’s attention to the old form of art with creative communication.

459 Day of the Dead The Calaveras Festival is one of the most important attractions in Aguascalientes. Year after year, in late October and early November, the city turns into a colorful celebration of the deceased. This colorful Festival arises with the aim of rescuing and preserving the traditions of the Day of the Dead and within its festive framework, it pays tribute to one of the plastic artists with worldwide recognition: José Guadalupe Posada, illustrious engraver and draftsman born in Aguascalientes. Posada is the creator of the "Calavera Garbancera" - which Diego Rivera would later name "La Catrina" -, a figure that adorns this festival and is a symbol of the festive tradition of death in Mexico.

462 Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works The Santiago Humberstone and Santa Laura are two old Saltpeter Works administered by the Corporation Museo del Salitre and declared National Monuments and Cultural Heritage of Humanity. They are located in Pozo Almonte, Tarapacá Region, in Chile. Located 48.1 kilometers east of Iquique city, they are national monuments and, since July 17, 2005, they have been UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Both Saltpeter Works, although originally operated separately, are nowadays the main reflection of the period of splendor and contrasts that the region experienced between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Santa Laura, in its best period, had a population of 425 inhabitants, while Humberstone surpassed 3700 inhabitants. Both Saltpeter Works had theaters, churches, swimming pools, tennis courts, small houses, medical clinics, and bars that guaranteed a “normal” life for the workers and their families beyond the factory.

464 Rapa Nui National Park Much has been written about what is considered "the most island island", due to its remote location in the Pacific Ocean. The gigantic volcanic stone statues, known as moai, the still undeciphered writing of the Rongo Rongo symbols, and the history of some inhabitants who were about to disappear, have originated the myth of Easter Island. The island was discovered on Easter Sunday in 1722, and taken over by Chile in 1888. Its fame and World Heritage status arise from the 887 extant stone statues known by the name "moai", whose creation is attributed to the early Rapa Nui people who inhabited the island around 300 AD. The moai in the park are of varying height from 2 to 20 meters (6 to 65 ft). The volcanic rock formations quarried for sculpting are a distinctive yellow-brown volcanic tuff found only at the Ranu Raraku on the southeast side of the island. Some of the moai were also carved from red scoria. The ceremonial shrines where they are erected for offering worship are known as "ahu". Of impressive size and form, they are normally built close to the coast and parallel to it. Site Wednesday 19th of May 2021 06:36:50 PM Wednesday 19th of May 2021 06:36:50 PM

466 Valparaíso Valparaíso is a port city on the coast of Chile. It is known for its towering funiculars and its colorful houses on cliffs. La Sebastiana, which used to be the flamboyant home of Chilean Nobel Prize poet Pablo Neruda, now functions as a museum and offers expansive views of the Pacific. During the 19th century, a large influx of European immigrants left their mark on the city's architecture and cultural institutions. Most of these buildings are around Plaza Sotomayor, located in the center of the city. Due to its architectural wealth developed mainly at the end of the 19th century, 6 in 2003 its historic center was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Many of the neighboring sectors of the port are inaccessible by means of collective transport and the funicular lifts fulfill the task of connecting the upper part of the city with the plan, in addition to being tourist references. The first, which was powered by steam, was built on Cerro Concepción in 1883 and on Cerro Cordillera, in 1887. Site Wednesday 19th of May 2021 07:04:47 PM Wednesday 19th of May 2021 07:04:47 PM

469 Volubilis, Morocco Volubilis is an ancient archaeological site in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the largest and most important sites in Morocco as it’s ruins date back to 3BC and were inhabited for over ten centuries. According to World Monuments Fund, the city was extremely wealthy due to its production of agricultural products such as grain and olive oil. However, the Romans who occupied it abandoned a portion of Volubilis in 285. It was then inhabited by the founder of Fez, Idris I, who was the first Islamic ruler in Morocco. This helped Volubilis gain momentum and reach the potential it once had. Not long after, it was abandoned again and has been managed by various archaeologists since. About two decades ago, the World Monuments Fund offered financial assistance through the Robert W. Wilson Challenge Program to establish a database to consolidate all available research into a multilingual, multimedia archive. Conservation initiatives have been conducted with a view of focusing on main elements such as mosaics. A monitoring process to examine soil conditions, activity and relative humidity levels has been developed. An architectural survey was carried out and photographed by students at the National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage of Morocco.

471 Reconstruction of 3,000-year-old Ceramic Lion The Semitic Museum at Harvard University used 3D printers and 3D scanning technology to reconstruct a ceramic lion that was shattered around 3,000 years ago when Assyrians destroyed Nuzi, an ancient Mesopotamian city situated in modern Iraq. The Harvard team shot sculpture fragments from hundreds of angles to create 3D reproductions of each artefact, then combined them to shape a partially complete 3D image of the original artefact. The process is known as "photogrammetry" which is a photo modelling technique commonly used to create 3D reproductions of buildings, artefacts and objects. This technique is particularly useful to the digital preservation of cultural heritage as historical sites and artefacts are often damaged. The digital version was assessed and compared to scanned versions of complete artefacts found in the same environment. Any holes were identified, and absent fragments and support systems were meticulously fabricated from 3D prints and CNC carved foam. The images show the complete lion and fragments of the Nuzi lion during the photo modelling process. Site Thursday 20th of May 2021 12:50:28 AM Thursday 20th of May 2021 12:50:28 AM

473 Lights Show in Rome An increasing amount of tourist attractions in Rome are using multiple methods of digital preservation and promotion. The excavated spaces now contain modern technology including high-resolution projectors which supplement the existing remains with meticulously precise light displays that highlight interesting features that are long gone. This has outlined and restored significant missing details of buildings, paintings, mosaics and frescoes as reported in the Apollo Magazine. Amongst the tourist attractions, the ruins of ancient Roman houses discovered under Palazzo Valentini have been publicly exhibited, contributing to Rome's extremely extensive historical and cultural legacy. As stated on the Palazzo Valentini website, a team of art historians, archaeologists, and architects from the Provincial Administration, collaborated on a project to study, preserve, and publicly display these excavations. Glimmering lights fill the marble bathtub of the ancient home in the cellar, bringing light and vibrant colours back to what was, until recently, a gloomy underground environment. The history of "Domus" has been recreated by an expert team of specialists using interactive replications and reconstructions, graphics, and video clips projected onto old buildings that once belonged to rich families. Various elaborate mosaics, wall decorations, relics, paving stones, and other items were included in the houses. Other sites use VR and AR reconstructions which immerse the viewer in a constructed 3D model of the existing ruin using headsets. To provide the feeling of complete immersion in the 3D reconstruction, a couple of stereoscopic screens and motion sensors are used to map and refresh the view to create a seamless experience. The digital restoration of Trajan's column allows visitors to look closely at bas-reliefs which explain the history of Trajan's military campaign: the liberation of Dacia, now in Romania. This is a perfect example of how cultural heritage can be regenerated and transformed by careful and intentional digital preservation and promotion to enrich and educate all visitors through modern methods.

476 Geylang township, Singapore Geylang is a township and planning region in the tiny Asian island state of Singapore. Geylang as a place is a contradiction because it represents many of the quintessential things which makes Singapore Sinagpore. However, it also represents things which are totally at odds with most people’s perception of Singapore. For example, it is home to one of the earliest Malay settlements on the island; Geylang Serai. Malay, Indian, and Chinese entrepreneurs set up business here in the 19th century, and the area today is famous for its excellent food and wonderfully preserved traditional ‘shophouse’ architecture. Therefore, it is important historically and reflects the ethnic diversity of the current population. However, it is also a red-light district and considered to be one of the seediest areas of the otherwise sterile state.

479 The Roman Baths of Bath The Roman Baths - which gives name to the city of Bath, Somerset, England - are an architectural marvel and one of the most well-preserved ‘thermae’ outside of Rome. A ‘thermae’ is an ancient Roman Bath house, and the one found in the city of Bath was built by the rulers of Roman Britain sometime during the first century. The baths reflect the, at times tremulous, history of the island, as the original baths were left in ruins when the Roman Empire collapsed in the 5th century. However, they would go on to be redeveloped several times in the Middle Ages, which reflects the resurgence of interest in the classic world that was developing throughout Europe during this time period.

491 The chime bells of Marquis Yi of Zeng Bianzhong (pronounced [pi̯ɛ́n t͡ʂʊ́ŋ]) is an ancient Chinese musical instrument consisting of a set of bronze bells, played melodically. China is the earliest country to manufacture and use musical chimes. They are also called Chime Bells.[1] These sets of chime bells were used as polyphonic musical instruments and some of these bells have been dated at between 2,000 to 3,600 years old. They were hung in a wooden frame and struck with a mallet. Using a wooden hammer and a rod to beat the bronze bell can make different pitch. Along with the stone chimes called bianqing, they were an important instrument in China's ritual and court music going back to ancient times. The chime bells of Marquis Yi of Zeng are the most numerous, the largest, the best preserved, the most complete and the widest musical instruments in the ancient chime bells discovered so far. It proves that in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period (5th century BC), China already had the concept of seven sound scales and absolute pitch, indicating that the culture and technology of the Zhou Dynasty had reached a very high level.

Arkaim is attributed to the early Proto-Indo-Iranian of the Sintashta culture, which some scholars believe represents the proto-Indo-Iranians before their split into different groups and migration to Central Asia and from there to Persia and India and other parts of Eurasia. The discovery of Arkaim and the Land of Towns has fueled the growth of schools of thought among Rodnovers, Rerikhians, Zoroastrians and other movements which regard the archaeological site as the second homeland of the Aryans, who originally dwelt in Arctic regions[citation needed] and migrated southwards when the weather there became glacial, then spreading from central Eurasia to the east, south and west, founding other civilisations. According to them, all Vedic knowledge originated in the southern Urals. Site Friday 21st of May 2021 07:20:54 PM Friday 21st of May 2021 07:20:54 PM

Not only has it witnessed the rise and fall of different ancient nomadic groups, but it reserved the trace of their living with their petroglyphs created through 10 historical stages. Among 50,000 paintings which have been found so far, the earliest one can be dated back to 10,000 years ago. The long history and rich content made it a valuable source for historical study. However, due to vandalism, natural erosion and a lack of continued protection, a lot of paintings are in peril. The preservation of Yinshan Rock Carving started in the 1980s and it was selected as one of the national heritage sites in 2006. However, most protection measures are still very traditional and not effective. So far, the government has been preserving the physical paintings by setting up monuments, CCTV and fences. Digital measures include taking pictures, videos and using GIS technologies to identify locations. These efforts enabled the government to understand the number, distribution, size and popular themes of paintings, but the digital preservation with advanced technologies has not yet been carried out.

606 Ben Nevis Observatory From 1883 until 1904, at an altitude of 1345m, an operational weather station and observatory existed on the summit of Ben Nevis. The purpose of this weather station was to facilitate meteorological research in the unique environment that the summit of Ben Nevis provides, as it is regularly situated in the direct path of Atlantic storms. Throughout its 21-year lifespan, men lived and worked at the observatory, and the data collected at the weather station is generally considered to be one of the most extensive and insightful collections of British mountain weather data. Certain members of the meteorological team were also inspired to advance multiple areas of scientific research from their time at the weather station. Most notably, Charles Thomson Rees Wilson was inspired to invent the cloud chamber from phenomenon he witnessed at the weather station. Today, the ruins of the weather station and observatory still remain on the summit of Ben Nevis, providing shelter for mountaineers.

607 Valley of Geysers The Valley of Geysers is one of the largest geyser fields in the world. It is situated on kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East of Russia. The valley belongs to Kronotsky Nature Reserve, which is part of UNESCO world heritage sight “Volcanoes of Kamchatka”. The valley itself is the deep canyon of Geyzernaya river. There are dozens of geysers on the banks of the river. Besides geysers, the valley hosts lots of other miraculous objects: hot springs, mud volcanoes, waterfalls and hot lakes. The valley is home to an outstanding number of species of living creatures. This ecosystem is unique to Russia. The first geyser in the valley was found in 1941 by Tatiana Ustinova, who was a geologist. The goal of her expedition was the caldera of Uzon volcano, so the discovery of the geysers was not intended. Due to WW2, the exploration of the valley was postponed for many years. Nowadays the Valley of Geysers is considered one of the 7 wonders of Russia and is a popular site for tourists visiting the unique Kamchatka region, despite the remoteness of the area.

For many years, passengers of the airport used the old wooden building which is now abandoned and is slowly falling apart. From my opinion, the building is worth saving as it is a rare example of wooden air terminals from the middle of the XX century.

618 Castel del Monte Castel del Monte is a castle located on a hilltop in Andria, within the Apulia region of south-eastern Italy. The castle was constructed in the 1240s by King Frederick II who was King of Sicily, King of Germany, King of Italy, King of Jerusalem, and Holy Roman Emperor. Frederick II lived from 1194 to 1250. Castel del Monte is widely considered to be one of the architectural triumphs of King Frederick II’s 40 year reign, and is noted for its outstanding integration of Northern European and Islamic architecture along with its unique octagonal shape for the time period. For these reasons, the castle was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996. Today, the castle still remains in good condition, a condition similar to that as it would have had when it was first built. The castle has a diameter of 56 metres and its main outer wall is 25 metres high. Site Saturday 09th of April 2022 01:58:39 PM Saturday 09th of April 2022 01:58:39 PM

620 Standing Stones of Stenness It is thought that the Standing Stones of Stenness were built over 5000 years ago in 3100 - 2900 BC and is therefore considered one of the earliest henges in Britain. The Standing Stones of Stenness are part of a world heritage site called “The Heart of Neolithic Orkney”, which also includes Maeshowe, Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar and other nearby sites. The Stones of Stenness look very different today than they would have looked thousands of years ago when they were first built. Only four of the stones in the ring remain today, the tallest is 5.7m high. Originally, there were thought to be twelve tall standing stones laid out in an ellipse which were surrounded by an estimated 2.3m deep and 4m long ditch. The ditch can no longer be seen. There is also a large stone hearth in the centre of the platform. Additionally, there are now two angular slabs close to the hearth, but it is not understood if they were part of the original henge. Look at the 3D model to get an idea of how the stones currently look and where the missing stones would have been originally placed. There is also an interesting sketch from (estimated) 1818 which shows what the stones looked like then. There are many standing stones in Orkney and legends associated with them. Some legends talk of how the stones used to be giants, trolls or witches which were transformed to stone by the strong rays of the Orkney sun. One of the most popular legends concerns Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve), where it believed that some of the standing stones come to life and walk to a nearby body of water to drink and dip their heads in. Other traditions are more morbid, such as the belief that the central stone slab within the ring was most likely used as an alter where human sacrifices were made. This was considered by Sir Walter Scott (a Scottish novelist, poet, historian and biographer) who visited the Standing Stones of Stenness in August 1814. Explore the nearby stones "Odin Stone" and "Ring of Brodgar" on the map to learn of other interesting legends. Site Tuesday 12th of April 2022 11:38:09 PM Tuesday 26th of April 2022 05:01:56 PM
621 Calanais Standing Stones The Calanais Standing Stones (also known as Callanish Standing Stones) monument is a cruciform shaped stone circle with a central tall stone. It also includes a chambered cairn and rows and avenues of standing stones. It is located near the village of Calanais (also known as Callanish) on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The stone circle and its central stone was erected first around 2900BC. The chambered cairn was added around 500 years later, and it is guessed that the rows and avenues may have been added at the same time as the cairn. The central stone has an impressive height of 4.8 meters. There are numerous theories, legends and stories which attempt to figure out what the purpose of these stones are. In Outlander, a very popular novel series and TV show, the female protagonist is transported back to 18th century Scotland when she touches the central stone in a stone circle. The stone circle is fake (made of props), but it is said to be based on the Calanais Standing Stones. It is not known whether the local people believed that the stones would transport them through time, but it does speak to the impact of the stones. There are accounts from as early as 1680, that show that locals believed that that the stones were the remains of men who had sinned and were punished by the gods by being turned into stone. The stones were sometimes referred to as the “false men”, possibly for this reason. Others claim in their accounts that the site was used as a “heathen” temple where Druids worshipped. Another theory, with a bit more of substantial evidence, is the theory that the site was used as an astronomical observatory. As the stone circle was created first, it is thought that it was built to mark the position of the midwinter sun, as it would have shone through a gap in a nearby hill and the sun rays would hit the central stone. 500 years later, a cairn was built to house the dead and avenues of stones were presumably added around the same time. It is thought that the avenues were added to focus on a special lunar phenomenon which occurs every 18.6 years. Every 18.6 years the moon reaches a point in its long cycle where it rises and sets in its furthest points. When the moon is setting, it appears as if the silhouette of a lying down woman (known locally as “Cailleach na Mointeach” or “the old woman of the moors”) is skimming along the horizon to the south. She then disappears and reappears by lighting up the centre of the circle. It is thought that the local people would have walked southwards along the avenue to watch and celebrate this lunar phenomenon. Patrick Ashmore did excavations of the Calanais standing stones in the 70s and 80s, allowing us to date the stone circle back to 2900BC. He discusses in his work several possible reasons for the original purpose of the standing stones. One idea is that standing stone circles such as Calanais may have been constructed to establish or maintain social rank, almost like “bragging rights”. Another reason could have been territorial, to establish rights to the land and its resources. Within the same vein, its possible that they were constructed to foster a sense of community and identity within the local group of people. He also mentions how they may have been used for religious uses. Site Tuesday 12th of April 2022 11:51:55 PM Tuesday 26th of April 2022 08:22:25 PM

628 Primavera The Primavera is a tempera painting created by Sandro Botticelli in 1482. It is one of the most representative artwork of the Italian Renaissance and symbol of the prosperity of Florence during the Medici rule. It is one of the most popular paintings of the Western World. Along with the Birth of Venus, the Primavera succeeds in demonstrating the expertise of Botticelli in the use of colour, lines and shaded forms. The meaning of the Primavera is still unknown. However, art experts have attempted at guessing it. Originally, the painting was created in the honour of the wedding of Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco, Lorenzo de Medici's cousin. Nevertheless, the painting is not only a mere celebration of a wedding as it is demonstrated by the presence of numerous allegories and metaphor that link to the Greek and Roman mythology. For example, two Roman gods, Venus and Mercury, are depicted. This painting succeeds in showing Botticelli's great knowledge of classical literature and philosophy.

633 Sistine Chapel ceiling The Sistine Chapel is in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican City and was built between 1473 and 1481. It is famous due to the paintings created by Michelangelo on its ceiling between 1508 and 1512, commissioned by Pope Julius II. There are various scenes from the Genesis, like the Creation of Adam, the Fall of Adam and Eve and the Expulsion from the Garden. The scholars and art experts believe that the images on the ceiling are a depiction of the Neoplatonic view of the Bible. This means that the scenes that are depicted by Michelangelo represent the various stages of the relationship between humans and God. In addition, Michelangelo portrayed his strained relationship with the Catholic Church by giving his face to St Bartholomew's martyred body.

646 The Last Supper The Last Supper is a mural painting created by Leonardo da Vinci between 1495 and 1498. It was commissioned by Ludovico Sforza when renovating a church in his possession. This painting is one of the most popular in the Western world due to its use of space and perspective, the handling of motion and the portrayal of human emotion. It is now located in the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. The painting depicts the reaction that each apostle had when Jesus informed them about one of the betraying him. Everyone had different reactions, from anger to shock. In this scenario, Judas Iscariot is shaken that his plans have been revealed. He is also holding a bag which probably contained the payment he received in exchange for this betrayal and he’s also pouring salt which relates to the Eastern expression “to betray the salt” which means to betray the master Site Friday 15th of April 2022 04:26:13 PM Wednesday 04th of May 2022 01:15:47 PM

687 Venetian glass beads Venetian beads production dates back to the fourteenth century. It is a representation of mastery of a material, glass, and element the fire. It endures specific knowledge and shared skills, indicates the use of specific traditional tools and procedures. Skilled artisans melt, blow, shape the coloured glass to obtained the shapes. Venice, the true European capital of glass, glass beads were produced in Murano and in all the Venetian territory. Since it was such a valuable product for trading, the center of production moved from Venice to island Murano to avoid the great risk of fire in keeping the kilns. The production represents a traditional knowledge handed down from generation to generation for more than 700 years. After the first World War of dissolution of colonialism, the beads lost their original function of as trading commodity. It become more of art, jewels and personal ornaments The process generally involves three preparatory positions, the ‘perlai’ (craftsmen of glass beads), ‘molatore’ and ‘impiraressa’, a women who inserts the beads through precise movements and creates various artefacts, and the glassmaker. The art of glass beads became part of the List of Intangible Cultural Heritaage since 2020. Physical Object Sunday 17th of April 2022 12:04:42 AM Monday 25th of April 2022 12:14:59 PM

707 Peking Opera Peking Opera is a comprehensive art with a 200-year long history. Every part of it has aesthetic value to be appreciated. Many sculpture works are inspired by the masks of Peking Opera, many pop songs have Peking Opera elements, and many film elements also come from Peking Opera and folk art. Compared with other art forms, Peking Opera carries more profound cultural connotations. Peking Opera originates from China and belongs to China alone, so it is also a symbol of China. Besides, Peking Opera is the quintessence of Chinese culture and represents the cultural image of China to a large extent. In the whole Chinese culture, the main body of Peking Opera is more inclined to the folk culture or the bottom culture. Even though it was favored by the Empress of the Qing Dynasty and thus prospered rapidly, we are supposed to be objective enough to find its aesthetic characteristic. From the late Qing Dynasty to the whole 20th century, Peking Opera based on folk interest gained a position that no other folk art had ever possessed before. The impact of Chinese folk culture and aesthetics from the level of art essence is enhanced through Peking Opera and the global position of Chinese cultural and artistic state will be improved by propagandize Peking Opera.

713 Gorham's Cave Complex Gorham’s Cave Complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site located slightly above sea level on the eastern side of the rock of Gibraltar. The complex is made up of four caves. The complex is one of the last known sites inhabited by the Neanderthals in Europe. When it was initially inhabited by the Neanderthals (55,00 years ago) the location of the complex was 5km above sea level, with the shift to the present day being caused by landscape evolution. The cave was rediscovered in 1907 by Captain A. Gorham, and since then numerous discoverers have been made within the complex which has helped to shed light on the paleolithic age, with the complex containing “archaeological and paleontological deposits that provide evidence of Neanderthal occupation over a span of more than 100,000 years” (UNESCO, 2022). Gorham’s cave is an example of tangible cultural heritage, with the complex supplying notable “evidence of the hunting of birds and marine animals for food, the use of feathers for ornamentation, and the presence of abstract rock engravings (UNESCO, 2022)”.

719 Lascaux Cave The Lascaux Cave was discovered in 1940 and forms part of the Decorated Caves of the Vézère Valley in southwestern France. This site has helped to inform people about the present day on “prehistoric art and human origins” (Lascaux, 2022). The Vézère Valley contains 25 decorated caves, and a total of 147 prehistoric sites which are of particular interest from an ethnological, anthropological, and aesthetic viewpoint (UNESCO, 2022). The Lascaux cave has been of great importance due to the prehistoric art found within it, which includes detailed depictions of hunting, and “are remarkable for their detail, rich colors, and lifelike quality” (UNESCO, 2022). As well as the artwork found within the cave, other artifacts from the Palaeolithic age have been discovered; including charcoal fragments, bone material, decorative objects, and tools (Lascaux, 2022). Due to the sensitive nature of the artwork, a replica cave has been created of Lascaux to allow visitors to have a viewer experience closely matched to what they would see when visiting the real Lascaux cave.

723 St. Kilda St Kilda is a world heritage site which is the only one in the UK which holds dual status for being both a natural and cultural heritage site. It is an isolated Scottish archipelago situated far to the west of the Isle of Benbecula (an island in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides). St Kilda consists of four islands (Hirta, Dùn, Soay and Boreray) and some of the UK’s highest sea stacks Stac Lee (172m) and Stac an Armin (196m). The nature of St Kilda is incredible as it is home to rare animals such as the wren and almost one million seabirds and houses the UK’s largest colony of Atlantic Puffins. Additionally, the world’s largest colony of gannets nests on Boreray and the sea stacks. St Kilda has a rich cultural history which should be preserved. As St Kilda is incredibly isolated, it is impressive that a community existed and thrived here for at least 4,000 years. Locals had to climb and hunt on the high sea stacks to procure gannets, fulmars and puffins for food. Eventually, much of the population started to leave the island, perhaps because life was easier on mainland. In 1930, the remaining 36 islanders were evacuated as they had requested the government to evacuate them as their way of life on St Kilda was no longer sustainable.

However, in larger communities in rural parts of Scotland, these gatherings were later held in halls and people would dance well known ceilidh dances such as “the gay gordons” and “the dashing white sergent”. The earliest reference to the “gay gordons” is from the early 20th century. The dashing white sergent’s earliest reference is the late 19th century, but it is based on very old Scottish formations of “setting” and “reeling”, which date back to the 1700s.

727 Cave of Altamira The cave of Altamira is a cave complex situated within Northern Spain and contains paleolithic cave art. It is one of the seven caves within Northern Spain which have been collectively classified as a world heritage site, ‘Cave of Altamira and Palaeolithic Cave Art of Northern Spain’. The Altamira cave was re-discovered in 1868, being the first site with paleolithic cave art within Europe to be discovered in the modern era (Dowson, 2022). The oldest painting to be identified within Altamira dates back to 36,000 years ago. When the cave paintings were first discovered in 1880, they were dismissed by prehistorians and classified as forgeries, they were not officially recognized as prehistoric cave art until near the end of the 19th century (Altamira | cave, Spain, 2022). Alongside the paleolithic cave art discovered, when the cave floor was excavated, prehistoric animal bones and stone tools were discovered, furthering the paleolithic insights that the cave provides.

728 Part of the Ring of Brodgar "Ring of Brodgar, formerly known as the Ring of Brogar, a neolithic stone circle and henge monument, with the Loch of Harray in the background." - Stevekeiretsu Still Image Friday 22nd of April 2022 08:53:50 PM Friday 22nd of April 2022 08:53:50 PM
729 The Ring of Brodgar The Ring of Brodgar is a stone circle and henge located about six miles north-east of Stromness on Mainland in Orkney, Scotland. It is located 1.3 miles from the Standing Stones of Stenness and it is estimated to have been erected around 500-1000 years after the Standing Stones of Stenness were erected. It is thought that the Ring of Brodgar was erected around 2500 - 2000 BC. The Ring of Brodgar was built as a true circle and has a diameter of 103.6m, making it the third largest stone circle in the British Isles. Today, there are 27 remaining stones and is it is thought that were originally 60 stones in total. While there are accounts of some stones falling over time, there is currently no evidence of there being 60 stones in total. There are legends which link the Ring of Brodgar with the Standing Stones of Stenness. One legend involves the Ring of Brodgar as a symbolic area for the dead, whilst the Standing Stones of Stenness as a symbolic area for the living. The journey of life can therefore be represented by walking from the Standing Stones of Stenness to the Ring of Brodgar. There are other legends that reference the Ring of Brodgar as the temple of the sun and the Standing Stones of Stenness as the temple of the moon. It is possible that The Ring of Brodgar was built as an astronomical observatory. Professor Alexander Thom, a Scottish engineer who studied stones circles and their meanings for decades, speculated that stone circles were built to be used as astronomical observatories. He asserted that the Ring of Brodgar is a perfect example of a megalithic lunar observatory. However, Professor Thom thought that it could additionally be used as a sacred or magical ceremonial centre. The Ring of Brodgar is huge and it’s possible that it could have housed the entire local population, meaning it could have been used as a meeting place for ceremonies or events. It is also possible that great stone circles such as the Ring of Brodgar may not have been built to serve a particular purpose after their construction. Professor Colin Richards suggests that the act of building the monuments and erecting the stones was what may have been ritually significant for the people who did it.

731 A sketch of standing stones in Orkney, thought to be a sketch of the Ring of Brogdar "This drawing was by a J. Mc [?], the rest of the name now being lost. It may date from 1807. This picture, although labelled Stenness, may actually be a representation of the Ring of Brodgar, further along the same track" - National Library of Scotland One of the main reasons that this sketch may be thought to depict the Ring of Brogdar rather than the Standing Stones of Stenness may be due to the number of stones in the sketch. The Standing Stones of Stenness were thought to be smaller (twelve stones in total) than the Ring of Brogdar and there are more than twelve stones in the sketch. The Ring of Brogdar is close in location to the standing stones of Stenness. The creator of the sketch has written "Druidical stones" on the sketch, indicating that the creator may have believed that the stones were used for druidical worship.

735 The Odin Stone The Odin Stone was a 2.5m tall standing stone which had a hole in it and was placed in a field close to the Standing Stones of Stenness. It is thought to have been erected around 3000 BC, roughly around the same time that the Standing Stones of Stenness were erected. The Odin Stone played an important part in the culture of the native Orcadian people. It was supposedly very common for young lovers to visit the stone and make their marriage vows binding and absolute by clasping hands through the hole and swearing the Oath of Odin. Additionally, it was also believed that the stone had healing powers and it was common for young people to stick their head through the hole to ensure good health. In the same vein, new-born babies were passed through the hole to ensure them a healthy future. There are stories of the Orcadians leaving offerings of food when visiting the stone and it seems that this stone was cherished by the Orcadian people. Unfortunately, the Odin Stone was demolished in 1814 by Captain W. MacKay, who had recently immigrated to Orkney and leased the land which the Odin Stone stood on. He was irritated as he felt that his land was being ruined by the influx of people visiting the Odin Stone and the other ancient sites around it. He set out and destroyed the Odin Stone and then went to the Stones of Stenness and toppled the fifth stone and destroyed the sixth stone. The native Orcadians were enraged by his actions and made various attempts to burn down his house. The law got involved and executed a “Sist and Suspension” against MacKay who then promised to stop destroying the stones. Unfortunately, it was too late for the destroyed stones but the Standing Stones of Stenness were passed into the care of the state in 1906 and the toppled stone was re-erected.

Venice, the true European capital of glass, glass beads were produced in Murano and in all the Venetian territory. Since it was such a valuable product for trading, the center of production moved from Venice to island Murano to avoid the great risk of fire in keeping the kilns. The production represents a traditional knowledge handed down from generation to generation for more than 700 years. After the first World War of dissolution of colonialism, the beads lost their original function of as trading commodity. It become more of art, jewels and personal ornaments The process generally involves three preparatory positions, the ‘perlai’ (craftsmen of glass beads), ‘molatore’ and ‘impiraressa’, a women who inserts the beads through precise movements and creates various artefacts, and the glassmaker.

749 Calypso Music Genre Calypso music is a genre in which communicates and revolves around social commentary. Calypso was developed by West African slaves who were brought to the Caribbean in the eighteenth century. Original tradition would have a local bard telling stories through song, and offering social commentary through praise, satire or lament (BBC, 2017). Trinidad playing host to carnivals - and therefore calypso competitions - made the genre globally synonymous with the country. Subsequently, through commercial recordings beginning in the 1920s and 30s, calypso music became a social looking glass into matters of Trinidadian public interest (Guibault, 2005). Calypso is recognisable by its use of 4/4 syncopated time signatures, call and response, and prominent Latin percussion – but the most distinctive element is the topical, witty, and satirical lyrics performed by the calypsonians. The attached song is “Split Me In Two” by The Mighty Dougla. This example of a calypso was written in the 1950s and provides a comical perspective on how Trinidad is an extremely multicultural society and if, as the government proposed, some second generation citizens were to be deported back to their ancestral countries, many people would struggle to know which country to choose.

769 Calon Lan Song of Wales Calon Lan is a Welsh song which was written as a hymn in the 1890s. Both lyric writer and composer, Daniel James and John Hughes respectively, were born into poverty and worked industrial jobs from their teenage years (Felin Fach 2020). The song was originally written for Welsh hymn-singing festivals such as Cymanfaoedd Ganu however it became very popular during the 1904-05 Welsh Revival (Gower Hidden History 2016). Today the song remains extremely popular with the Welsh. It is consistently sung in Wales national rugby games, as well as by the most revered choirs and soloists in the country (Welldigger 2012). “Calon Lan” is Welsh for “A Pure Heart”. The lyrics describe how a pure and good heart is more valuable and meaningful than any material possession. This song is meaningful to the Welsh culture because of its generational popularity. It has been sung by Welsh people in every significant event of the last century, including both Worlds Wars and Wales winning the Six Nations in 2021. Therefore it units the Welsh people and has a strong cultural connection. Felin Fach. 2020. Calon Lan Lyrics. Accessed 2022. https://www.felinfach.com/blogs/blog/calon-lan.

770 Steel Pan Following emancipation in 1834, former slaves were allowed to participate in the Trinidad Carnival, however African-descended percussive performance was heavily targeted by restrictive government bills which banned many common percussive instruments (Google 2022). Having used improvisational instruments for years, by the 1930s Trinidadians experimented with a new improvisational instrument as they began to adapt oil drums to create the first steel pans. Trinidadians realised that the convex dent at the bottom of the oil drums would cause a sustained resonance when struck with a wooden “stick” or “beater”. They then experimented to tune these resonances to distinct musical pitches and could then produce recognisable melodies. The process is laborious but tedious, as the metal is heated and hammered into place, but also tuned with more precise, delicate hammering. Google 2022.

774 Fanjing Mountain Mount Fanjing, is located in Tongren, Guizhou province, is the highest peak of the Wuling Mountains in southeastern China, at an elevation of 2,570 m (8,430 ft). The Fanjingshan National Nature Reserve was established in 1978 and designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1986. It is a sacred mountain in Chinese Buddhism, considered to be the bodhimaṇḍa of the Maitreya Buddha. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018. Its high mountainous terrain and the sheer size of the mountain have created unique vertical climatic features and plant and animal distribution zones, preserving one of the world's few subtropical native ecosystems and relics of ancient and rare species dating from 70 to 2 million years ago. According to scientific data, there are 2,601 species of organisms in Fanjing Mountain, including 1,800 species of plants, in which 17 types of plants are rare plants; 801 species of animals, in which 19 species of animals are rare ones, accounting for 68% of the total number of protected animals in Guizhou province. The "national treasures" of Fanjing Mountain include the Qianjin snub-nosed monkeys and dove trees, which are the most representative. The Qianjin snub-nosed monkey is endemic to Fanjing Mountain, and its population is even smaller than that of the panda, making it the "Only Child of The World". The dove is an ancient plant from the age of dinosaurs and was once widely distributed in the northern temperate zone, but due to geological and climatic changes it has almost disappeared from the earth. However, in the late spring and early summer, the beautiful dove flowers open in droves, resembling flocks of white cranes flying through the forest. This ancient plant, endemic to China, has been named by foreigners as the 'Chinese dove flower', the 'most beautiful flower of the northern temperate zone', and has been transplanted to Europe as a valuable ornamental plant. As a relatively complete species "gene pool", Fanjingshan attracted great attention from Chinese and foreign scientists as early as the 1930s and 1940s. In 1978, Fanjingshan was officially designated as a Guizhou Provincial Nature Reserve, and in 1986, it was upgraded to a National Key Nature Reserve, and in the same year, it was accepted by UNESCO as a member of the international Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB).

780 Dujiangyan Irrigation System The Dujiangyan is an ancient irrigation system in Dujiangyan City, Sichuan, China. Originally constructed around 256 BC by the State of Qin as an irrigation and flood control project, it is still in use today. The system's infrastructure develops on the Min River (Minjiang), the longest tributary of the Yangtze. The area is in the west part of the Chengdu Plain, between the Sichuan Basin and the Tibetan Plateau. Originally, the Min would rush down from the Min Mountains and slow down abruptly after reaching the Chengdu Plain, filling the watercourse with silt, thus making the nearby areas extremely prone to floods. King Zhao of Qin commissioned the project, and the construction of the Dujiangyan harnessed the river using a new method of channeling and dividing the water rather than simply damming it. The water management scheme is still in use today to irrigate over 5,300 km2 (2,000 sq mi) of land in the region. The Dujiangyan, the Zhengguo Canal in Shaanxi and the Lingqu Canal in Guangxi are collectively known as the "three great hydraulic engineering projects of the Qin."

Jinding is the highest Buddhist temple in traditionally Han areas of China and it is known for its "four wonders": the sunrise, the sea of clouds, the "Buddhist halo", and the "divine light". Jinding was originally built in 1377 during the Ming dynasty, but has been rebuilt multiple times because of fire. The most recent incident happened in 1972, when the temple was used for transmitting signals of a local television station. Flames caused by a power generator quickly engulfed the wooden temple. The fire burned for two days, destroying countless precious Buddhist relics as well as numerous trees. The only remaining relics are a bronze monument and a bronze doorway from the Ming dynasty, and a bronze statue from the Qing dynasty. In 2004, as part of the Jinding "Revival and Renovation Plan" by the Mt. Emei Buddhist Association, the Huazang Temple was rebuilt along with a 48-meter-tall stupa of the "Ten-faced Puxian Bodhisattva" (Samantabhadra). The rebuilt temple was officially opened on 18 June 2006. 300 notable Buddhist monks attended the grand ceremony, as well as 3,000 visitors.

786 Virunga National Park Virunga National Park is a national park in the Albertine Rift Valley in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was created in 1925. In elevation, it ranges from 680 m (2,230 ft) in the Semliki River valley to 5,109 m (16,762 ft) in the Rwenzori Mountains. From north to south it extends approximately 300 km (190 mi), largely along the international borders with Uganda and Rwanda in the east. It covers an area of 8,090 km2 (3,120 sq mi). Two active volcanoes are located in the park, Mount Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira. They have significantly shaped the national park's diverse habitats and wildlife. More than 3,000 faunal and floral species have been recorded, of which more than 300 are endemic to the Albertine Rift including eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei) and golden monkey (Cercopithecus kandti). In 1979, the National Park was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its rich diversity of habitats, exceptional biodiversity and endemism, and its protection of rare mountain gorilla habitat. It has been listed in the List of World Heritage in Danger since 1994 because of civil unrest and the increase of human presence in the region. There have been several deadly attacks in the park by rebel groups, and several park rangers have been killed. Site Monday 02nd of May 2022 01:57:00 PM Monday 09th of May 2022 08:50:33 PM

802 The Gateway Of India The Gateway of India is a building that was constructed in 1924. The arch is made of basalt, and it stands at 85 feet high. It is located on the waterfront at the Apollo Bunder in South Mumbai. It has been often described as the Taj Mahal of Mumbai due to its popular tourist activity. The site is managed by the Archaeological Survey of India. While the Gateway is symbolic of colonial subjugation, it also evokes a sense of cultural identity and belonging to those in Mumbai, which can be paradoxical to some. The Gateway of India was constructed to serve as a symbolic ceremonial entrance for important colonial personnel. In terms of the design, the design was conducted by Scottish architect George Wittet, it combines diverse elements of Hindu and Muslim architecture with Gothic cusped arches and domes and spires. The structure was built using yellow basalt stones enmeshed into a reinforced concrete structure and features impressive carved stone latticework known as jali. Jali is a common feature of Indo-Islamic architecture, jali meaning “net” is a form of architectural decoration of perforated stone through the use of geometric or calligraphic designs.

805 Lairig Leacach Bothy Though they are not a single piece of heritage, bothies represent a broader historical and cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom, especially Northern England and Scotland. A bothy is a rudimentary shelter in the wilderness which is typically only accessible on foot. Many bothies originally served as shelters for gamekeepers and estate workers, though now they are most commonly used recreationally by hikers. Underpinning the use of bothies is the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, which set legal standards for the long running tradition of free access to privately owned land in Scotland. The largest concentration of bothies can be found in the Scottish Highlands. Excerpt from P1. Site Tuesday 03rd of May 2022 06:23:52 PM Tuesday 03rd of May 2022 06:23:52 PM

811 Royal Albert Dock The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world. It was known simply as the Albert Dock until 2018, when it was granted a royal charter and had the honorific "Royal" added to its name. At the time of its construction the dock was considered to be revolutionary in its design because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from or to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite its advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that, within 50 years, larger and more open docks were required, although the Albert Dock remained a valuable store for cargo.

812 Mogao Caves IS5110 2022 Carved into the cliffs above the Dachuan River, the Mogao Caves comprise the largest, most richly endowed, and longest used treasure house of Buddhist art in the world. It was first constructed in 366AD and represents the great achievement of Buddhist art from the 4th to the 14th century. 492 caves are presently preserved, housing about 45,000 square meters of murals and more than 2,000 painted sculptures. As evidence of the evolution of Buddhist art in the northwest region of China, the Mogao Caves are of unmatched historical value. These works provide an abundance of vivid materials depicting various aspects of medieval politics, economics, culture, arts, religion, ethnic relations, and daily dress in western China. The unique artistic style of Dunhuang art is not only the amalgamation of Han Chinese artistic tradition and styles assimilated from ancient Indian and Gandharan customs, but also an integration of the arts of the Turks, ancient Tibetans and other Chinese ethnic minorities. Many of these masterpieces are creations of an unparalleled aesthetic talent. Site Wednesday 04th of May 2022 10:40:54 PM Thursday 05th of May 2022 12:34:18 PM

819 Thangka IS5110 2022 Thang-ka, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. Most Thang-kas were intended for personal meditation or instruction of monastic students. They often have elaborate compositions including many very small figures. A central deity is often surrounded by other identified figures in a symmetrical composition. Narrative scenes are less common but do appear. Thang-ka perform several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests. Overall, and perhaps most importantly, religious art is used as a meditation tool to help bring one further down the path to enlightenment. The Buddhist Vajrayana practitioner uses a Thang-ka image of their yidam, or meditation deity, as a guide, by visualising "themselves as being that deity, thereby internalising the Buddha qualities" Thang-ka hang on or beside altars, and may be hung in the bedrooms or offices of monks and other devotees.

Individual schools such as the Gelug, Nyingma, Sakya and Kagyu, and even individual monasteries, maintain their own chant traditions. Each instrument mimics the sound of an animal, the drums being the footsteps of elephants and the horns mimic bird calls.

842 Phulkari embroidery Phulkari word consists of 2 words “Phul” and “Kari” which means flower and works respectively in the region of Punjab, India. It started in the 15th century by the women of Punjab and is known as the folk embroidery of rural Punjab. The embroidery is generally very bright and colorful which brings colors to the lives of people. Even though phulkari means flower work, the embroidery doesn't only limit to flowers but also includes geometric shapes and motifs. Earlier this type of embroidery is only restricted to shawls and odhani but nowadays this is done on large-scale canvases such as sarees and churidar kameez. In preventing the Phulkari embroidery, digital media plays a crucial role as one can learn how to do such embroidery from different tutorials online posted on platforms like Youtube and Facebook. Also, by making Instagram and TikTok reels on such a beautiful handicraft, content creators can educate their audience about the culture and the beauty that resides in this handmade embroidery culture. Also, there are some websites that offer online courses to learn such embroidery techniques. One can read articles and books on the internet. For people who want to buy such stuff, many retailers are now selling it on online platforms either by making their own website or on some other’s portal.

852 Tainan Confucian Temple The temple was built in 1665 during the Koxinga dynasty (Ming dynasty). In 1685, soon after the Taiwan was annexed by the Qing dynasty, the first Taiwan Regional Chief Administrator Chou Chang and Taiwan Prefecture Magistrate Chiang Yu-ying began their efforts to have the temple renovated and reconstructed into Taiwan Prefecture Academy. Since then, the compound has been renovated and expanded several times. After 1895, Taiwan was under Japanese rule, the temple was once again used as a public school and military barracks and was considerably damaged. The temple has been renovated several times over the past 300 years, most recently between 1987 and 1989, during the time of Republic of China (Taiwan). Today the temple serves as a popular tourist attraction and also preserves ancient Confucian ceremonies, which are conducted on a regular basis. The temple also includes storerooms for the ritual implements and musical instruments that are used in these ceremonies. Site Friday 06th of May 2022 06:15:48 PM Friday 06th of May 2022 08:58:33 PM
853 Golden Gate Bridge Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. Before the bridge was built, the only practical short route between San Francisco and what is now Marin County was by boat across a section of San Francisco Bay hence many wanted to build a bridge to connect San Francisco to Marin County. However, many experts said that the ferocious winds and blinding fogs would prevent construction and operation. Eventually, the proposal of construction of the bridge was made in a 1916 San Francisco Bulletin article by former engineering student James Wilkins. Eventually, the bridge was completed in May 27th, 1937 and has become of the biggest attractions and landmark of San Francisco.

854 Great Wall of China The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined together by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC). Apart from defense, other purposes of the Great Wall have included border controls, allowing the imposition of duties on goods transported along the Silk Road, regulation or encouragement of trade and the control of immigration and emigration. The frontier walls built by different dynasties have multiple courses. Collectively, they stretch from Liaodong in the east to Lop Lake in the west, from the present-day Sino–Russian border in the north to Tao River (Taohe) in the south; along an arc that roughly delineates the edge of the Mongolian steppe. Today, the defensive system of the Great Wall is generally recognized as one of the most impressive architectural feats in history.

Before the bridge was built, the only practical short route between San Francisco and what is now Marin County was by boat across a section of San Francisco Bay hence many wanted to build a bridge to connect San Francisco to Marin County. Although San Francisco was the largest American city still served primarily by ferry boats. Because it did not have a permanent link with communities around the bay, the city's growth rate was below the national average. Back then, experts said that ferocious winds and blinding fogs would prevent construction and operation. As a result, the proposal of the construction of the bridge was not made until 1916. Today, the bridge is the biggest attraction and landmark in the city of San Francisco. Site Friday 06th of May 2022 09:25:35 PM Friday 06th of May 2022 09:25:35 PM

862 Empire State Building The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York City and is located on the west side of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, between 33rd Street to the south and 34th Street to the north. The building was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built from 1930 to 1931. Its name is derived from "Empire State", the nickname of the state of New York. The building has a roof height of 1,250 feet (380 m) and stands a total of 1,454 feet (443.2 m) tall, including its antenna. Bethlehem Engineering Corporation originally intended to build a 25-story office building on the Waldorf–Astoria site. The company's president paid $100,000 of the $1 million down payment required to start construction on the building was then unable to secure additional funding. Hence, the land was resold to Empire State Inc. The company announced the construction of an 80-story building on the site, to be taller than any other buildings in existence to the public in August 1929. The Empire State Building officially opened on May 1, 1931, forty-five days ahead of its projected opening date, and eighteen months from the start of construction.

The technique became popular and widely adopted in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 – 1279), reaching its popularity peak in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Kesi has been known as the 'silk silt tapestry', a textile that depicts animals, flowers, and human figures in very fine detail by translating paintings into the fabric, with lightness and clarity of pattern retained. From a distance, kesi appeared to be paintings; as a viewer moves closer, she will see the investment of labour appearing in a three-dimensional appearance, with textured brushstrokes expressed.

914 Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in the western United States, largely in the northwest corner of Wyoming and extending into Montana and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially the Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular. While it represents many types of biomes, the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. While Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years, aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of the Interior, the first Secretary of the Interior to supervise the park being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was eventually commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites. Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 sq mi (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered a dormant volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Well over half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Site Monday 09th of May 2022 03:37:32 PM Monday 09th of May 2022 08:51:51 PM
915 Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk and antelope. Still Image Monday 09th of May 2022 03:41:06 PM Monday 09th of May 2022 08:52:14 PM
916 Suomenlinna Sea Fortress Suomenlinna is a sea fortress off the coast of Helsinki, Finland. Building of the fortress first began in 1748 when Finland was under Swedish rule. Its purpose was to strengthen Sweden’s defences in the Baltic Sea after Sweden had suffered areal losses to the Russian Empire in years prior. The long history of Suomenlinna can be divided into three distinct eras. Between 1748 and 1808 both Finland and the fortress were under Swedish rule. In 1808, however, Sweden lost the fortress to the Russian Empire in the Russo-Swedish war. Between 1808 and 1918 Finland and the fortress were therefore occupied and ruled by the Russian Imperial Government. During the Russian era Suomenlinna was poorly taken care of due to lack of funding but the fortress continued to serve as a strategic location in the defence of its new masters. With the Russian Revolution and Finland’s independence efforts taking place in 1917, Suomenlinna entered its third era to date as the newly founded Finnish Government took over Suomenlinna in 1918. Today, Suomenlinna is an important historical site, popular tourist destination, and has been on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1991. Modern Suomenlinna is also the home to around 800 permanent residents. Site Monday 09th of May 2022 04:43:40 PM Monday 09th of May 2022 04:47:17 PM

918 Petäjävesi Old Church The Petäjävesi Old Church is a Lutheran log church built between 1763 and 1765. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 for exemplifying traditional wooden church architecture of the Nordic countries. The church is located on a peninsula at Lake Solikkojärvi in central Finland. According to UNESCO, the construction of the church was led by local master builder Jaakko Leppänen, after which it was taken care of and improved by relatives such as the grandson Erkki Leppänen in 1821. About the church’s characteristics UNESCO writes that it is “representative of the architectural tradition of wooden churches in northern Europe”. What adds to the uniqueness of the church is the masterful appliance of traditional log construction techniques of the local peasantry. Today the church is a popular tourist destination as well as a functional Lutheran church in the summer. Site Monday 09th of May 2022 05:35:00 PM Monday 09th of May 2022 05:35:00 PM

920 Finnish Sauna Culture Finnish sauna culture is an intangible cultural heritage inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020. As told by UNESCO, the sauna is an inseparable part of Finnish culture, present in songs, mythology, as well as everyday life and customs. A telling sign of the prominence and importance of the sauna for Finns is that there are around 3.3 million saunas and only 5.5 million inhabitants in Finland. In practice this means most homes have their own sauna, and some families may have multiple. The sauna has traditionally been a place to clean oneself, but also to relax and find inner peace. As UNESCO puts it, the sauna has traditionally been considered as a sacred space – a ‘church of nature’. The act of enjoying the sauna involves something called ‘löyly’ in Finnish. Löyly is the act of throwing water onto a pile of hot stones placed on top of the stove. Many different kinds of saunas exist, including electric, smoke, and infra-red. The most traditional version is however one heated by wood. Depending on one’s liking, a traditional sauna is heated to anywhere from 70°C to even 120°C.

928 Mount rushmore Four of America's most significant presidents - George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson – stand prominently in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Lakota Sioux, a tribe native to the area, believed the Black Hills, where Mount Rushmore was built, to be holy, and they still do. The monument, which was developed by a South Dakota historian to include the faces of both Native American and western pioneer heroes, irrevocably transformed the landscape. [1] Mount Rushmore was scanned with a laser in May of 2010. This virtual experience was made possible by 3D data collected at Mt. Rushmore as part of a cooperation between CyArk, a non-profit devoted to digitally conserving the world's cultural monuments, Historic Environment Scotland, the Glasgow School of Art, and the US National Park Service. For several weeks, experienced capture teams scanned and photographed Mt. Rushmore and most of the surrounding park, either from the ground or hung from ropes—it was an endeavour that, at least in its intricacy, mimicked the original sculpting process. The project aimed to establish the understanding about how the mountain was sculpted, the 3D model was paired with an interview with Blaine Kourtemayer, Assistant Chief of Interpretation. Using the data gathered on the field, CyArk made resources available on a dedicated section in their website. The Website contains, EXIHBIT section which has all the information explaining the legacy, Historic context of Mount Rushmore. Exhibit section has the very vital information on preservation of the sculptures. Along with how the digitalization of the park is done. CyArk compiled a well structured digital guided tour of the park and Unstructured virtual tour of park. Most intriguing part of the project is the 3D Model of the park, which is highly detailed and these models are made available on the website with complete freedom of exploration on all the direction and scale.

937 Classical Gardens of Suzhou Suzhou is located in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, and the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, China are collectively known as Suzhou Classical Gardens. Many of these gardens are included in the World Heritage Site. Whether they were designed and built by literati or dignitaries, the gardens were meticulously designed and constructed with great care and skill. These factors greatly contributed to the development of Suzhou's gardens. In terms of the survival of Suzhou's gardens, from the magnificent Liuzheng Garden and Humble Administrator's Garden to the small gardens of a hill and a ravine, there are not only a large number of gardens, but also a good number of them. Most of these gardens are located in the city, especially in the area between Gate of Heaven and Guanqian Street, followed by Northeast Street. Among the remaining gardens in Suzhou, private gardens account for almost 90% of the total number of gardens, except for the Pavilion of Surging Waves, a famous pavilion, a few ancestral halls and Buddhist temples. The Pavilion of Surging Waves dates back to the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Lion Grove to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the rest, such as the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Art Garden, to the middle and end of the Ming Dynasty. What really impresses people about Suzhou's classical gardens is not only the beauty of the mountains, water, plants and buildings themselves, but also their relationship with each other.

976 Mogao Caves Located in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China, the Mogao Caves are the world's largest and richest surviving Buddhist shrine, with 735 caves, renowned for their exquisite murals and statues. The integrity of the Mogao Caves and Dunhuang art has been greatly compromised by poor excavation and conservation. Also because of the potentially irreversible damage to the artwork, especially the colours of the murals, caused by the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans, the management began to limit the number of visitors to the Mogao Caves. In order to showcase these precious works of art to the world, they have undertaken a comprehensive digital capture, processing and storage of the artworks in the caves, taking into account their characteristics. At present, photographic capture of 120 caves, image processing of 40 caves, panoramic roaming of 120 caves and 3D reconstruction of 20 painted sculptures have been completed.

978 Buddhas of Bamiyan The Buddhas of Bamiyan are two standing Buddha statues that once sat on the cliffs of the Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan. They were built in the sixth century AD and carved from red sandstone. They are classic works of Greek Buddhist art. However, two of the giant standing Buddha statues were bombed by the Taliban in 2001. ICOMOS began to protect the Bamiyan Buddha statue in Afghanistan in 2003. In the autumn of 2006, the University of Aachen in Germany cooperated with the Vienna University of Technology to use a 3D laser measurement system and a digital camera to survey the niches of the Bamiyan Buddha and the surrounding cave structures. An accurate, realistic 3D model of this heavily damaged niche was obtained. Subsequently, the researchers used historical documents and pictures to create a virtual 3D model to restore the Buddha of Bamiyan. Based on this virtual model, researchers are expected to reconstruct part or the entire Buddha statue in the future. In 2015, a couple of adventurers from China used 3D laser projection technology to reproduce the Buddha statue on the original site and presented the whole set of light and shadow equipment to the local government. In 2021, on the 20th anniversary of the bombing of the Bamiyan Buddha, the local people once again used 3D projection to reproduce the Buddha statue on the original site.

981 Chinese Shadow puppets Shadow puppets is one of the oldest Chinese opera genres, and was inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list in 2011. The main features of shadow puppetry are white curtains, dolls made of animal skins and scene props. The shadow puppets are manipulated with wooden poles behind a white curtain, and the light shines through the translucent curtain to create a dynamic image, accompanied by music and singing, mostly in folk dialects, to tell local stories. The shadow-making process is extremely complex, with many folk craft techniques involved, from selecting and making the skin to carving and colouring it. The hand-carved shadows are not only props for performances, but also a beautiful piece of art. There are eight steps in the making of a shadow: selecting the skin, making the skin, drawing, carving, colouring, dehydrating, oiling and mounting. A beautifully crafted shadow requires more than 3,000 strokes of carving, making the process extremely complex. Intangible Tuesday 10th of May 2022 04:07:57 PM Tuesday 10th of May 2022 08:15:00 PM

983 Chinese Shadow puppets Shadow puppets is one of the oldest Chinese opera genres, and was inscribed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list in 2011. The main features of shadow puppetry are white curtains, dolls made of animal skins and scene props. The shadow puppets are manipulated with wooden poles behind a white curtain, and the light shines through the translucent curtain to create a dynamic image, accompanied by music and singing, mostly in folk dialects, to tell local stories. The shadow-making process is extremely complex, with many folk craft techniques involved, from selecting and making the skin to carving and colouring it. The hand-carved shadows are not only props for performances, but also a beautiful piece of art. There are eight steps in the making of a shadow: selecting the skin, making the skin, drawing, carving, colouring, dehydrating, oiling and mounting. A beautifully crafted shadow requires more than 3,000 strokes of carving, making the process extremely complex. Intangible Tuesday 10th of May 2022 04:11:04 PM Tuesday 10th of May 2022 09:24:58 PM

1001 Charminar The Charminar was built at the intersection of the historical trade route connecting the markets of Golkonda with the port city of Machhilipatnam. The city of Hyderabad was designed with the Charminar at its center, spread around in four quadrants along the four cardinal directions. Mir Momin Astarabadi of the Qutb Shahi dynasty played an important role and ordered extensive preparations for the design and layout along with that of the new capital city. Architects from Persia were invited to provide additional designs and suggestions. Inspired by the shapes of Shiya Tazias built to commemorate the tragic death of Prophet Muhammed’s grandson, Hussain at the battle of Karbala, the structure of the Charminar is perfectly square, with each side measuring 20m. The four grand arches open into four different streets and stand 11m wide. The square structure accommodates four minarets in each corner. The minarets are 56 meters high, house two balconies, and are topped with small delicate domes and intricate carvings on the outside walls. Unlike other prominent Islamic monuments, the minarets are built into the main structure. Inside the minarets there is a spiral staircase with 149 steps and 12 landings. The structure is a fine example of Indo-Islamic architecture with ample Persian influences. While arches and the domes show the influence of Islamic architecture, the minarets reflect Persian influence. The delicate stucco floral ornamentations on the ceiling, the balconies and the outside walls speak of Hindu influences. Site Tuesday 10th of May 2022 08:11:34 PM Tuesday 10th of May 2022 08:15:48 PM

An Amphora, a phiale and seven rhytons are among the core artefacts that make up the 24-carat gold collection. Weighing over 13 pounds the treasure is arguably one of the most valuable historic treasures found in Bulgaria. The store that precedes the treasure involves three brothers that were working in a clay pit where the 9 pieces were first discovered. The treasure was turned over to local authorities and it was kept in the Bulgarian National Bank where three identical copies were made that would travel across international museums and join exhibits. The first copy resides in the Archaeology Museum in the city of Plovdiv and it tends to travel quite a bit across Bulgaria’s largest cities. The Thracian civilization inhabited the south of the Balkan Mountains alongside the banks of the Maritza river during the 5th century BC. One of the capital cities once resided there and the treasure was buried in what is known as the Valley of the Thracian Kings during the 300 BC. It’s main usage during the time was to serve ceremonial wine and for sanctifying during rituals. The bulk of the treasures depict the ancient goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite alongside some Amazon warriors.

1043 Vatnajökull National Park Nearly 14% of Iceland's land area, or over 1,400,000 ha, is occupied by this iconic volcanic region. The property is made up of a whole system where the cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere are constantly interacting with the magma and lithosphere to produce incredibly dynamic and varied geological processes and landforms. Single-celled creatures thrive in the hostile environment of subglacial lakes, which may mimic circumstances on early Earth and the icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn, and indigenous groundwater fauna that has survived the ice age can be found in the volcanic zones of the property. By the end of the 18th century, the Vatnajökull ice cap was at its maximum size, and ever since, it has generally been retreating. Due to the recent acceleration of its retreat as a consequence of global warming, the property is an ideal location to study how glaciers and the landforms they leave behind are affected by climate change.

1044 Mogao Caves Situated at a strategic point along the Silk Route, at the crossroads of trade as well as religious, cultural and intellectual influences, the 492 cells and cave sanctuaries in Mogao are famous for their statues and wall paintings, spanning 1,000 years of Buddhist art. The Mogao Caves hold significant historical significance because they provide knowledge into numerous facets of mediaeval history about politics, economics, and social mores. The Mogao Caves are in a desert region susceptible to climate change. As a result of climate change, Mogao Caves have been impacted by reduced vegetation and increased soil erosion, and other effects leading to increased risks of weathering and erosion, which threaten the preservation of murals and stone carvings.

1047 Seokguram Grotto The Seokguram Grotto is a hermitage and part of the Bulguksa temple complex. It lies four kilometers east of the temple on Mt. Tohamsan, in Gyeongju, South Korea. It is classified as National Treasure No. 24 by the South Korean government and is located at 994, Jinhyeon-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsanbuk-do. The grotto overlooks the Sea of Japan and rests 750 meters above sea level. In 1962, it was designated the 24th national treasure of Korea. In 1995, Seokguram was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List together with the Bulguksa Temple. It exemplifies some of the best Buddhist sculptures in the world. The Seokguram grotto is said to have been built by Kim Daeseong and originally called Seokbulsa. Construction began in 742 when Kim Daeseong resigned his position in the king's court or in 751. The grotto was completed by the Silla court in 774, shortly after Kim's death. An old legend stated that Kim was reincarnated for his filial acts in his previous life. The grotto is currently one of the best known cultural destinations in South Korea. A viewing of the sunrise over the sea, which is visible from near the seated Buddha's perch, is especially popular.

The park, which is 1,148 square kilometres in size, is home to Mount Everest and some of the highest mountains in the world, as well as a wide variety of plants and animals. The park serves as a crucial home for endangered animals including the snow leopard, musk deer, and Himalayan black bear. The Sherpa people, who have long since inhabited the area still follow their traditional way of life and religion. The Park is a well-liked tourist attraction because of its value both ecologically and culturally. The park provides hiking and mountaineering options as well as cultural experiences like touring Sherpa communities and monasteries which promote Buddhism. Climate change is impacting the melting of glaciers in this region. If the current global temperatures tend to increase, half of the world's glaciers will be vanished.

1049 Bogward Doocot Doocots are structures intended to house pigeons and doves for later consumption. The structures have openings and provisions for roosting and breeding. Beyond a primary food source, pigeons and doves were an important source of eggs, feathers (pillows, bedding), and dung (fertilizer, softening leather, manufacturing gunpowder). Although doocots are physical structures, they are reminders of intangible aspects of Scottish history and heritage, because they were a part of everyday life. Doocots adapted beyond being a storage house into social status symbols in medieval Europe and are sources of some Scottish mythology (intangible). Into the 20th century, they were built as decorative additions to farm buildings and gardens. Climate change worsens the weather exposure threatening Scottish doocots. In some cases, doocots have been restored; however, their specific structure makes it difficult to adapt, reuse and convert to modern uses. A current attempt at digital preservation of this site is done by the St. Andrews Preservation Trust, where they offer virtual tours. There is also an extensive photo gallery online of volunteers photographing, locating and identifying doocots. Site Monday 27th of March 2023 11:52:57 AM Friday 21st of April 2023 09:44:02 AM

1053 Hanbok The hanbok, also called Chosŏn-ot is traditional Korean clothing. It is worn not only by South and North Korea, but also by the joseon-jok, a minority group in China. The term hanbok literally means “Korean clothing.” Hanbok is also depicted in detail on murals from the Goguryeo period in Korea. Due to the isolation from each other for about 50 years, the styles of hanbok in South Korea, North Korea, and joseonjok, worn by the Korean ethnics from these three countries have developed separately from each other. Since the 1990s, the South Korean-style and the North Korean-style have been looking more and more similar to each other. Similarly, since the Chinese economic reform of China, there have been more exchanges with both Koreas leading to both the development and changes in joseonjok-style Chosŏn-ot in China;some of designs of the joseonjok-style Chosŏn-ot have been influenced and inspired by both South-Korean and North Korean hanbok designs.

1084 Vietnamese Coffee In the 1850s, French missionaries imported coffee plants into Indochina. The early coffee industry in Vietnam was disrupted by series of wars until 1975, after the Vietnam War. Now, Vietnam is the second largest coffee producer in the world. Vietnamese coffee exemplifies how a culture’s cuisine, language and economy can be affected by colonization and immigration. Beyond the intangible effects, coffee plantations (tangible, immovable) and their harvests (tangible, movable) have altered the country’s natural heritage. The risk of unexploded ordnance from the Vietnam War (armed conflict heritage) further affects farmer’s search for more land to grow coffee. After the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese Communist Party’s failed agriculture collectivization efforts prompted them to turn towards coffee production. This specific location is the Central Highlands, where Vietnamese coffee plantations grow most of their Robusta coffee beans. Vietnam is “one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change” because of its low altitude, proximity to the Mekong Delta, and South China Sea coastline. Unpredictable precipitation patterns, rising sea levels and temperatures greatly affect Vietnamese coffee bean production. Digitally, Vietnamese coffee culture has been preserved primarily through social media platforms who have made the iced Vietnamese coffee drink an international phenomenon.

1089 HMS K-4 and K-17 Submarine Wrecks From January 31, 1917 to February 1, 1918, a disaster joint operation codenamed Operation E.C.1 and ironically dubbed Battle of May Island, led to the sinking of two submarine vessels. When their exact locations were found in 2011, the wrecks were designated as protected places under the Protection of Military Remains Act 1986. This underwater heritage site is a tangible, immovable heritage that is a reminder of how historical context affected people’s perception of submarines and how the Battle of May Island affected future submarine warfare tactics and informed submarine technology development (armed conflict heritage). Underwater heritage sites are innately susceptible to biological degradation; however, climate change can hasten their destruction by contributing to bacterial spread through changes in conservation patterns, currents and introduction of new biological species. Digital preservation has primarily been through digital charting and imaging done by EMU Limited and Headland Archaeology, commissioned by Mainstream Renewable Power to produce an archaeological technical report in context of the desired offshore wind farm.

1096 St. Andrews Cathedral Built in 1158 St Andrews Cathedral sits on the grounds of the oldest University in Scotland. Its value lies not only in tourism, but in the very foundation of the University. The cathedral has suffered from time and wear and was largely ignored in reconstruction and preservation efforts. Its proximity to the sea and coastal erosion caused by climate change are cause for concern without a plan for action and historical preservation. Students often wonder what the great cathedral might have looked like for the students who walked those same roads in the 1200s, the 1500s, the 1900s, and so on. Using drones, AI, and a bit of historical magic, the digital reconstruction of the cathedral can be imagined on the building itself, with a full audience of both cemetery bodies and the student body. In fact, this will be a unique opportunity for students, historians, and residents of St. Andrews, as the cathedral has been closed for a couple of years, given concerns for falling masonry. Ultimately, the cathedral may have to face demolition due to its dangerous state. The town of St. Andrews and the university itself would not retain its symbolic status without the cathedral. Historians and history enthusiasts would be able to have a physical reconstruction from the medieval period to today, aiding in research, education, and perhaps increasing visitations. According to the historicenvironment.scot website, the cathedral is one of “well-loved local landmarks... which add to [the Scottish] national identity” [3].

1158 The Great Wall The Great Wall is a World Heritage Site. It is an immovable cultural heritage. The construction of the Great Wall took 220 years and resulted in the most significant defensive structure ever built at the time. The entire length of the Great Wall of China is more than 20,000 kilometres; Built at various points in time throughout history, the walls, forts, mountain passes, and beacons that were part of the extensive defence system of the property have been preserved up to the present day. The Great Wall can be affected by climate change and led to the Great Wall, thus weathering and erosion of the building materials.

1159 Chinese shadow play Chinese shadow puppetry, formerly known as "shadow puppetry" or "lantern play", is a folk drama in which silhouettes of people made of animal skins or cardboard are illuminated by light sources such as candles or burning alcohol to perform stories. It involves a number of steps such as selecting the skin, making the skin, drawing, over-drafting, engraving, applying colour, ironing and embellishing. Shadow puppetry is used for entertainment, educational, historical and religious purposes and is associated with the promotion of positive moral values. For its contribution to the development of the world's performing arts, shadow puppetry was recognised by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2011.

1160 Shrek (2001) Pixar’s Shrek (2001) is the most important piece of digital heritage from the early 2000s. One that defined the childhood of the late 90’s kids and the early to mid-2000s kids and includes jokes for both children and their parents, meaning its impact on generations is even wider. The movie did something revolutionary in that its dubbing voice actors for each country were actual recognizable actors from that country. Eugenio Derbez, the voice actor for Donkey in Mexican Spanish suggested they change the scripted jokes to match the country of origin as well. While Spanish is a language that impacts multiple countries, the accents, comedy, and colloquial references in Shrek is different in Mexican Spanish, Spain Spanish, and Colombian Spanish, for example. Shrek is emblematic of the Gen-Z fight for inclusivity and diversity. Pixar continued this practice with “Inside Out,” where the main character refuses to eat broccoli in the American version. However, this was changed for Japan, as kids there find green peppers more disgusting than broccoli, thus following in Shrek’s steps to better relate to its audiences. In 2020, the Library of Congress in the US elected the film to be inducted into its National Film Registry due to it being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” [7]. Their current preservation tactics include the studio’s submission of the film in 35mm format, along with any appropriate copyright. The Audio- Visual Conservation Centre itself is “space controlled to stay cool and dry” to preserve its digital copies of the film.

1165 Forbidden City The Forbidden City (Chinese: 紫禁城; pinyin: Zǐjìnchéng) is a palace complex in Dongcheng District, Beijing, China, at the center of the Imperial City of Beijing. It is surrounded by numerous opulent imperial gardens and temples including the 22 ha (54-acre) Zhongshan Park, the sacrificial Imperial Ancestral Temple, the 69 ha (171-acre) Beihai Park, and the 23 ha (57-acre) Jingshan Park.[2] It is officially administered by the Palace Museum. (Wiki, 2023) The Forbidden City was constructed from 1406 to 1420, and was the former Chinese imperial palace and winter residence of the Emperor of China from the Ming dynasty (since the Yongle Emperor) to the end of the Qing dynasty, between 1420 and 1924. The Forbidden City served as the home of Chinese emperors and their households and was the ceremonial and political center of the Chinese government for over 500 years. Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987.[3] (Wiki, 2023) The complex consists of 980 buildings,[4] encompassing 9,999 rooms and covering 720,000 m2 (72 ha)/178 acres.[5][6] The palace exemplifies the opulence of the residences of the Chinese emperor and the traditional Chinese palatial architecture,[3] and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. It is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. Since 2012, the Forbidden City has seen an average of 14 million visitors annually, and received more than 19 million visitors in 2019.[7] In 2018, the Forbidden City's market value was estimated at 70 billion USD, making it both the world's most valuable palace and the most valuable piece of real estate anywhere in the world.[8] (Wiki, 2023) The Forbidden City in Beijing is one of the largest and most well-preserved wooden structures in the world. It was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics in 1961. (Wiki, 2023) Site Wednesday 05th of April 2023 09:35:11 PM Wednesday 05th of April 2023 09:35:11 PM

The property consists of a group of 118 islands in the Venetian Lagoon, located in northeastern Italy. The city of Venice, with its iconic canals, historic architecture, and cultural traditions, has been an important center of trade and culture since the Middle Ages. The lagoon itself, which stretches over 50,000 hectares, includes a range of natural habitats, including salt marshes, shallow waters, and sandbanks, which provide important ecological functions and support a rich biodiversity. Venice and its Lagoon is recognized as an outstanding example of the complex interaction between human societies and their natural environment. The city's architecture, art, and cultural heritage reflect the influence of a range of cultures, including Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance, and demonstrate the importance of Venice as a center of trade and cultural exchange. At the same time, the lagoon's natural ecosystems provide important resources for local communities and support a range of species, many of which are endangered or rare. Together, the city and its lagoon represent a unique cultural and natural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.

1175 Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur Memphis and its Necropolis - the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur comprise some of the most iconic and impressive architectural achievements of ancient Egypt. Located just outside of modern-day Cairo, these pyramid complexes served as the final resting places for some of the most powerful pharaohs of the Old Kingdom period, dating back to over 4,500 years ago. The most famous of these pyramids is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. In addition to the pyramids, this World Heritage site also includes the Great Sphinx, the mortuary temples of various pharaohs, and other burial complexes. The architecture and construction techniques used to build these structures, including the precise alignment to astronomical features, continue to amaze and inspire visitors and scholars alike. This site is a testament to the incredible skill and ingenuity of ancient Egyptian civilization, and its enduring legacy as one of the most advanced societies of the ancient world.

1176 Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Former Abbey of Saint-Rémi and Palace of Tau, Reims The Cathedral of Notre-Dame, the former Abbey of Saint-Rémi, and the Palace of Tau in Reims, France, collectively represent an outstanding example of Gothic architecture and art. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame is known for its stunning stained glass windows and sculpture, while the former Abbey of Saint-Rémi is a testament to Romanesque architecture. The Palace of Tau, which served as the residence of the archbishops of Reims, is a remarkable example of medieval secular architecture. These buildings played a significant role in the religious and political history of France, including the coronation of most of the kings of France. However, climate change poses a potential threat to these historic structures. The increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and heavy rain, can cause significant damage to the buildings' delicate structures and materials. Rising sea levels and flooding also pose a threat to the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, which is located near the Seine River. The potential impacts of climate change underscore the need for careful management and conservation of these important cultural heritage sites.

1177 Memphis and its Necropolis – the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur Memphis and its Necropolis - the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur is a site that contains the most iconic and recognizable monuments of ancient Egyptian civilization. The pyramids and other funerary complexes located here, including the Great Sphinx of Giza, have stood for thousands of years and are a testament to the remarkable engineering skills and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptians. However, climate change poses a potential threat to the preservation of these ancient wonders. Rising temperatures and extreme weather events, such as sandstorms and flooding, can cause erosion and damage to the structures. Additionally, changes in water levels and salinity in the Nile Delta could impact the surrounding landscape and affect the stability of the monuments. It is essential that measures be taken to mitigate the effects of climate change on this invaluable cultural heritage site and to ensure that future generations can continue to appreciate its historical and artistic significance.

1179 Fika Fika is a Swedish intangible cultural heritage. Although there is no direct translation from Swedish to English that perfectly describes what Fika means, it can be loosely translated to 'coffee break'. However, Fika means a lot more than just having a coffee break, with the socialising aspect forming a very important part. Every day, Swedes take a Fika break where they have a coffee with friends, family or colleagues; often with something sweet on the side. It's a break from work, school, or any other obligations that people may have, where they can sit down and have a calm moment with a coffee and a friend. It's valuable in many different ways, not only for establishing a work-life balance, but also for maintaining one's well-being and improving productivity levels.

1185 Walden Pond This historic pond may be more famous today for its swimming and beach access, however the location is stepped with history. Walden pond inspired author Henry David Thoreau to write his famous aptly named Walden book as an ode to the two and a half years he spent by this pond in a nature retreat. While the pond today does not hold the same seclusion he had experienced, its beauty and surrounding walking trails provide a small respite from the bustling traffic of Route 2 only half a mile away. Luckily, this pond lies in the Walden Pond State Reservation and is unlikely to be threatened by development. However, as climate change affects the whole planet, this ecosystem will also be put under strain as with most natural places.

1199 Seal Carving The art of Chinese seal carving is developed from the traditional Chinese seal technique. In ancient times, it was used to exercise and grant the power of state institutions and to prove personal identity. The earliest seals unearthed so far belong to the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago. During the Spring and Autumn Period, seals were widely used in society. The material used in ancient Chinese seals is mainly metal, which is divided into calligraphy (mainly seal script) and engraving (including chiseling and casting). The seal cutting has a history of nearly 500 years since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Ming and Qing schools of seal cutting developed from ancient seals, which laid a good foundation for the art of seal cutting with its unique style and high artistry. So seal carved art history can be traced back to 2000 years ago in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period (770 ~ 221 BC). Since the 13th century AD, literati and artists began to use stone to engraved seals. They used various knife handling techniques in their creation, forming different artistic styles, and numerous art schools such as "Anhui School" and "Zhejiang School" emerged. Seal works created by artists are called seal cutting. Since then, many famous seal cutters have emerged in the history of seal cutting, such as Wen Peng, Ding Jing, Deng Shiru, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and so on.

1203 Sugar Painting Chengdu sugar painting is a unique traditional handicraft that integrates folk arts and crafts with cuisine. It is mainly popular in Chengdu, Sichuan Province and its surrounding areas. In the past, it was also called inverted sugar cake, sugar baba and sugar lantern shadow in Sichuan. Painting with melted sugar juice was widely popular in Chengdu, Sichuan Province and the surrounding cities and villages. Sugar painting originated around the 16th century. In the court custom of the Ming Dynasty, when offering sacrifices to ancestors in the New Year, the families of senior officials often used molds to print sugar lions, sugar tigers and famous scholars and warriors as sacrifices. Later, this skill was introduced to the people and gradually evolved into sugar painting. During the creation process, the artist sits in front of a sugar painting, holding a spoon in his hand. After a short thought, the artist quickly sprinkles the liquid sugar in the spoon onto the marble slab, which is as smooth as a mirror. The coagulated liquid sugar forms magical pictures of animals, flowers, insects, dramatic characters... When the fresh sugar paintings solidified, the artist used a bamboo skewer to glue each piece of work and pick it up to complete a piece of work. It is both ornamental and edible, integrated material and spiritual culture enjoyment into one. Intangible Monday 17th of April 2023 06:49:52 PM Monday 17th of April 2023 06:49:52 PM

1205 Papyrus Papyrus manufacturing techniques were lost a long time ago. The earliest use of papyrus dates back to 3000 BC; it was widely used before 8th century. In Europe, papyrus was gradually replaced by more durable kraft and parchment paper. Later, the Arabs spread the techniques of paper making from the East to the Mediterranean, papyrus was thus replaced by papers and its manufacturing method died out. As the climate gradually changed, the wild sedges gradually disappeared in the Nile Valley. It wasn't until 1962 that an Egyptian engineer, Hassan Ragab, restored the technique for making papyrus, using the papyrus that had been brought back to Egypt from France in 1872. Today, papyrus is mostly sold as handicrafts. Papyrus has extraordinary significance in ancient Egyptian culture. The ancient Egyptians believed that after death the souls of those who were judged could reach the heavenly land - Sekhet-Aaru, the "Field of Reeds”. The dead must be buried with the Book of the Dead, which was made of papyrus, as a guide to the afterlife. Today, due to climate change and the completion of the Aswan Dam, it's hard to see papyrus growing all over the Nile Valley again. Papyrus manufacturing techniques and existing papyrus documents are also in urgent need of protection. Several digital museums of papyrus documents have been created, like Turin Papyrus Online Platform (TPOP). In addition, the Egyptian government has taken steps to add papyrus production to the United Nations list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Olympic National Park has a wealth of geological formations – including rocky islets along the coast formed by a continuously receding and changing coastline, deep canyons and valleys formed by erosion and craggy peaks and beautiful cirques sculpted by glaciation. Olympic National Park is also the lowest latitude in the world in which glaciers form below an elevation of 2000 meters and occur below an elevation of 1000 meters. The park’s relative isolation, high rainfall, strong west-to-east precipitation gradient, ten major watersheds and rugged topography have combined to produce varied and complex life zones – from coastline to temperate forest to alpine meadows to glaciated peaks. As a result, the park is rich in biological diversity and has a high rate of endemism. Still Image Thursday 20th of April 2023 10:13:08 PM Thursday 20th of April 2023 10:13:08 PM

1238 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a group of snow-capped mountains in Lijiang, about 15 km north of Lijiang, is 75 km long and is the nearest mountain range to the equator in the northern hemisphere that accumulates snow all year round. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is known as "Oulu" in Naxi, meaning "Heavenly Mountain". Due to the large drop in height of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it has a complete vertical zone of natural landscape from the river valley at the foot of the mountain to the peak with subtropical, temperate to cold zones. This is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna, including 13 species of nationally protected animals and 20 species of nationally protected plants. Between 1982 and 2002, the tongue of the largest glacier on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Baishui 1, retreated by approximately 250 metres and reduced in thickness and snow area. The end of the glacier rose in elevation from 4,255m in 2004 to 4,320m in 2009; the width of the glacier at 4,680m shrank from 336m in 2004 to 318m in 2009. Global warming is the main reason for the retreat of glaciers on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Site Wednesday 26th of April 2023 05:23:38 PM Wednesday 26th of April 2023 05:23:38 PM

1266 Great Barrier Reef The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest and longest coral reef complex located off the northeast coast of Australia in the South Pacific Ocean, stretching for a total of about 2,600 kilometres, with a maximum width of 161 kilometres. There are about 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands of various sizes spread over an area of about 344,400 square kilometres. Built by billions of tiny coral polyps, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing ever built and can be seen even from outer space. It was inscribed on the World Natural Heritage List in 1981 for its rich biodiversity. Climate change, pollution, crown-of-thorns starfish and fishing are the most damaging factors to the health of the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem. Since 1985, the Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its reefs to these hazards, with two-thirds of this loss occurring since 1998.A March 2016 report showed that a third global bleaching event triggered by ocean warming could wipe out the entire north-central reef, accounting for more than 40% of the Great Barrier Reef.

1274 Dazu Rock Carvings 2023 The Dazu Rock Carvings represent an outstanding example of Buddhist art and architecture, showcasing the evolution of Chinese art over a period of over 700 years. The carvings are located in a series of 75 protected grottoes spread over 40 sites in the steep cliffs of the Dazu area, covering an area of approximately 1,000 square meters. They depict a wide range of Buddhist deities, figures, and scenes, as well as important historical figures, and everyday scenes of life in ancient China. These carvings, which originated in the 7th century, are famous for their remarkable artistic value, preservation of ancient Chinese art, and their historical significance in the propagation of Buddhism (Dazu Rock Carvings, 1999). The carvings showcase over 50,000 statues and 100,000 Chinese characters, presenting intricate depictions of Buddhist teachings, rebirth stories, and the life of Buddha (Denise Patry Leidy et al., 2010). These impressive features have earned the Dazu Rock Carvings a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list since 1999.

1275 Glacier National Park (U.S.) Located on the US-Canada border in northwest Montana, the park covers over 4,000 square kilometres, includes parts of two Rocky Mountain subranges and has over 130 named lakes, and is home to over a thousand species of plants and hundreds of animals. The mountains of Glacier National Park began forming 170 million years ago when ancient rocks were forced eastwards and overlain by younger rock formations. These sedimentary rocks, known as Lewisian retrogradational rocks, are considered to be the finest fossils of early life on Earth. Maps and photographs from the mid-20th century show that the 150 glaciers that existed in the park 100 years ago have in many cases retreated significantly, if not disappeared altogether. Based on warming trends in the early 21st century, scientists had estimated that the park's remaining glaciers would melt by 2020. However, a later estimate suggested that the glaciers could disappear by 2030. Site Thursday 27th of April 2023 05:01:47 PM Thursday 27th of April 2023 05:01:47 PM

1293 Three Natural Bridges Wulong Tiankeng, also known as Three Natural Bridges, is a breathtaking ecological tourist destination that boasts remarkable geological wonders and serves as a prime example of karst landform. The Three Natural Bridges, which are Tianlong Bridge (Sky Dragon Bridge), Qinglong Bridge (Azure or Green Dragon Bridge), and Heilong Bridge (Black Dragon Bridge), comprise the largest group of natural bridges in Asia. Standing over 150 meters tall, 200 meters wide, and with a span of 300 meters, these bridges stand vertically, parallel to each other, and connect the mountains on either side, creating a unique landscape of "three bridges sandwiching two pits." This scene is incredibly uncommon worldwide, with two huge sinkholes on the ground and three natural stone arch bridges above. Beneath the Tainlong Bridge, visitors can find a traditional Chinese structure with a black roof and gray walls. This structure was once an official post built during the Tang Dynasty and later reconstructed based on historical relics. It even served as the only exterior scene for "The Golden Armor in the City" movie. Site Friday 28th of April 2023 04:03:49 PM Friday 28th of April 2023 04:03:49 PM

1411 The Terracotta Army The Terracotta Army, an iconic and awe-inspiring archaeological discovery, stands as a testament to the grandeur and ambition of the ancient Chinese civilization. This impressive collection of life-sized terracotta sculptures was crafted over 2,000 years ago during the reign of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of unified China, as part of his elaborate burial complex. Unearthed in 1974 by local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, this monumental find has since captivated the world with its remarkable scale and intricate artistry. Comprising approximately 8,000 individual statues, the Terracotta Army was designed to accompany Emperor Qin Shi Huang into the afterlife, serving as his eternal protective force. The sculptures, which include infantry, archers, cavalry, and chariots, are meticulously arranged according to rank and role in the subterranean battle formations. Each figure is unique, showcasing individualized facial features, expressions, and armor that reflect the diversity and craftsmanship of the era. The statues were once adorned with vibrant colors, making them even more lifelike and compelling, although much of the original paint has faded over time.

The Dujiangyan is said to have been built by Li Bing and his sons, the Sheriff of Shu County in the Qin Dynasty during the Warring States period, from about 256 to 251 years ago. It has been renovated by successive generations and has served a great purpose for over 2,000 years. There are many monuments around the Dujiangyan, including the Erwang Temple, Fulongguan, Anlan Bridge, Yubi Pass, Fengqiwo and Doushitai. The entire Dujiangyan pivot can be divided into two major systems: the head of the weir and the irrigation water network. The head of the weir includes the three main projects of the fish mouth (water diversion project), the flying sand weir (flooding and sand drainage project) and the treasure bottle mouth (water diversion project). The Dujiangyan project is mainly a water diversion and irrigation project but also has a comprehensive function of flood control and sand drainage, water transportation and urban water supply. The Chengdu Plain, which was irrigated by the Dujiangyan project, was known as the 'Land of Heaven' in China. Site Sunday 30th of April 2023 06:17:36 PM Sunday 30th of April 2023 06:17:36 PM

The Hakka are a Han Chinese ethnic group who have lived in many different parts of China over the centuries, and their language has evolved and developed through their interactions with other cultures and languages. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the Hakka people began to migrate from northern to southern China, and they brought their language with them. Over the centuries, the Hakka language continued to evolve and develop, influenced by the local languages and cultures of the areas where the Hakka people lived. In the 19th century, many Hakka people emigrated from China to Southeast Asia and other parts of the world, and their language was carried with them to these new lands. Today, the Hakka language is spoken by millions of people around the world, and it is considered an important part of Chinese heritage. Despite its rich history and cultural significance, the Hakka language has faced challenges in recent decades, as the number of speakers has declined and the language has been threatened by the spread of Mandarin, the official language of China. However, there are efforts underway to preserve and promote the Hakka language and culture, including the development of language education programs and the creation of Hakka cultural organizations. In conclusion, the Hakka language has a rich and fascinating history that reflects the cultural and linguistic interactions of the Hakka people over the centuries.

It is located where the Minjiang River flows from the mountains into the Chengdu Plain. Before Dujiangyan was built, the Minjiang River often flooded. In 256 B.C., Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County in the State of Qin, and his son, absorbed the experience of previous generations in water control, and led the local people to build water conservancy projects. After the completion of Dujiangyan, the Chengdu Plain became a "Land of Abundance". This project is still functioning today and is known as the "Living Water Conservancy Museum". As an ancient irrigation system, Dujiangyan is facing challenges due to rapid urbanization, socio-economic development, climate change and human activities.

1487 Gondola in Venice The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. It is typically propelled by a gondolier, who uses a rowing oar, which is not fastened to the hull, in a sculling manner and also acts as the rudder. The gondola has existed in Venice since the 11th century, being first mentioned by name in 1094.[11] It is estimated that there were eight to ten thousand gondolas during the 17th and 18th century, but there are only around four hundred in active service today, with virtually all of them used for hire by tourists. While in previous centuries gondolas could be many different colors, a sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are customarily so painted now. To be fair to Venice's gondoliers, they invest a great deal in their boats: upwards of €20,000 for a traditional hand-built wooden gondola with a useful life of about 20 years, plus annual maintenance. They need to earn the bulk of their annual income in a few short months. Physical Object Tuesday 02nd of May 2023 07:17:39 PM Tuesday 02nd of May 2023 07:17:39 PM

1494 St Kilda St. Kilda is a volcanic archipelago to the west of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides islands and is a prime example of natural heritage. During the height of the breeding season the archipelago is home to nearly one million seabirds. The size and diversity of the birds, including the high volume of gannets and the unique presence of the St. Kilda Wren – native to the archipelago – makes it a seabird sanctuary of global importance and one without parallel in Europe. The islands also contain tangible cultural heritage – remnants of the previous inhabitants - such as unique storage huts known as “Cleits”. Climate change is a significant threat to the biodiversity of the archipelago with rising sea surface temperatures having a negative impact on its marine ecosystem and the colonies of birds that breed there. This may be observed through the migratory Kittiwake seabird of which there has been an 89% decline in population over the period 1999-2015 - reflective of the wider fall in seabird populations on the archipelago. Climate change is likely to magnify the impact of storms and droughts which will have substantial adverse effects on the natural and cultural heritage of the islands.

This is an example of intangible cultural heritage normally practiced between the end of March and early May when cherry trees bloom across Japan. Participants normally engage in large gatherings at public parks to view the cherry blossoms and through smaller flower viewing events such as picnics with seasonal foods. The tradition originated during the eight century Nara period as a means of honouring Shinto deities. Consequently, hanami may be said to have wider importance to all practitioners of Shinto globally. Climate change has begun to negatively impact the practice of this intangible cultural heritage. This may be observed in the increasingly erratic blooming of the cherry trees due to changing seasonal temperatures. This makes it harder for the population to plan events around the blooming of the flowers and thereby engage with the tradition. Additionally, warmer weather coupled with milder winters have aided invasive species of pests harmful to cherry trees, decreasing their numbers. Of note is that the increased temperature combined with pollution projected to lead to widespread tree die-off in 50-100 years.

1498 Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast The Giant’s causeway is the site of over 40,000 basalt columns protruding from the sea, all of which present viewers with a dramatic example of natural heritage in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The columns are the most characteristic feature of the site and are formed into regularly shaped polygonal columns of basalt in horizontal sections. The features of the Giant’s causeway and the causeway coast, and in particular the composition of the cliff faces, have made the site one of substantial geological importance as it provides insight into the sequences of the earth’s geological activity and history. In addition, the dramatic nature of the site has led to local legends and narratives of giants walking over the sea to Scotland. Consequently, the site may be said to be culturally important in another dimension – contributing to the intangible cultural heritage of Northern Ireland where it is seen as a national symbol. Climate change has adversely impacted the causeway through rising water levels and coastal erosion. If current climate trends continue it is projected that many of the columnar stones will be underwater by the middle of the century.

1502 Gyeongbokgung Gyeongbokgung, also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace, was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Built in 1395, it is located in northern Seoul, South Korea. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon dynasty, Gyeongbokgung served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty, the Kings' households, as well as the government of Joseon. Gyeongbokgung continued to serve as the main palace of the Joseon dynasty until the premises were destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (1592–1598) and abandoned for two centuries. However, in the 19th century, all of the palace's 7,700 rooms were restored under the leadership of Prince Regent Heungseon during the reign of King Gojong. Some 500 buildings were restored on a site of over 40 hectares. In the early 20th century, much of the palace was systematically destroyed by Imperial Japan. On January 21, 1963, it was designated as a cultural property. Since the 1990s, the walled palace complex is gradually being restored to its original form. It also houses the National Palace Museum and the National Folk Museum within the premises of the complex. Site Wednesday 03rd of May 2023 06:21:01 PM Saturday 06th of May 2023 09:05:19 PM

There are well-preserved ancient buildings here, the most famous of which are the traditional dwellings of the Ming and Qing dynasties. They were built in the unique style of "yellow wall and black tile", with reasonable architectural layout and delicate structure, and are regarded as the treasures of Chinese ancient architecture. The climate of Xidi Hongcun belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons. As the temperature rises, the ecological environment of Xidi Hongcun may be affected. High temperatures can lead to problems such as vegetation drought and soil erosion, which in turn can affect soil erosion and damage the ecological environment. Also, higher temperatures can lead to unpredictability in tourism, for example, the flowering time in spring may be early or delayed, thus affecting the visitor experience. In addition, climate change may also lead to precipitation instability. If extreme weather such as floods and droughts occur, it can have a great impact on local agricultural production, water resources and tourism, and may even lead to loss of life and property.

1535 The Great Wall The Great Wall is a famous historical and cultural relic in China, and the climate along its route shows obvious seasonal changes and aridity and coldness due to its location in the northern region. The climate along the Great Wall is temperate continental, with cold winters, hot summers, warm springs and cool autumns, and large daily temperature differences. Precipitation here is mainly concentrated in summer, while winter is drier. Climate change in the areas along the Great Wall may have some impact on its conservation and maintenance. The warming climate may lead to unstable precipitation in the areas along the Great Wall, increasing the probability of weather disasters such as heavy rainfall and flooding, which may have an impact on the conservation and repair work of the Great Wall. In addition, drought may also pose a risk to the protection of the Great Wall. Since the climate in the area is already relatively dry, if combined with factors such as climate warming, it may lead to further aggravation of the drought problem, thus affecting the local ecological environment and tourism development, which in turn will have a certain impact on the protection and maintenance of the Great Wall.

The climate of Beijing, where it is located, is warm-temperate and semi-humid, with four distinct seasons and large temperature differences, with an average annual temperature of about 12 degrees Celsius. Spring is dry and sandy, summer is hot and humid, autumn is dry and pleasant, and winter is cold and snowless. Climate change may also have an impact when it comes to the conservation and maintenance of the Palace Museum in Beijing. A warmer climate may lead to more severe heat and humidity in the summer, thereby increasing the risk of decay and metal corrosion of the wooden structures. In addition, a dry and windy spring may also lead to the accumulation of dust and sand, making conservation and maintenance of cultural relics difficult. At the same time, Beijing is also one of the more prominent cities in China in terms of environmental issues, and urbanization and industrialization may also have an impact on the conservation and maintenance of the Forbidden City in terms of air pollution and water pollution.

1549 Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Areas are composed of the Nujiang, Lancang and Jinsha rivers and the mountains within their basins, covering an area of 1.7 million hectares. Under the control of geological structures, the Jinsha, Lancang and Nu rivers run from north to south through the entire region, and are bounded by a narrow zone of 60-100 km, which makes it possible to form the world's unique natural geographical landscape of "rivers flowing together without meeting", and creates the Grand Canyon of the Nu River, the Grand Canyon of the Meili Snow Mountain of the Lancang River and the Grand Canyon of the Tiger Leaping Gorge of the Jinsha River. In July 2003, the Three Parallel Rivers were inscribed on the World Heritage List. Site Friday 05th of May 2023 08:05:48 PM Friday 05th of May 2023 08:05:48 PM

1564 Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst The Caves of Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst are outstanding for the large number of complex, diverse and relatively intact caves concentrated into a relatively small area. Located at the north-eastern border of Hungary and the south-eastern border of Slovakia, this exceptional group of 712 caves, recorded at time of inscription, lies under a protected area of 56,651 ha and a larger buffer zone. Today more than 1000 caves are known. Karst processes have produced a rich diversity of structures and habitats that are important from a biological, geological and paleontological point of view. While the karst continues to develop in mountains of medium height and under temperate climate conditions, sediments and fossil landforms provide ample evidence of Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary subtropical and tropical climatic conditions as well as periglacial denudational activity during the Quaternary. Shaped over tens of millions of years, the area provides an excellent demonstration of karst formation during both tropical and glacial climates, which is very unusual and probably better documented here than anywhere else in the world.

Since the abbey was abolished in 1789, in 1863, Mont-Saint-Michel was turned into a prison. Despite the destruction of the early parts of the church, it has maintained a perfect combination of natural beauty and human history through centuries of constant maintenance, and is therefore considered one of the most fascinating sites in France. Over three million visitors come to visit each year to share its history and marvel at the majesty and wonder of this resort.

1618 Journey to the West The novel is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the "Western Regions" (Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sūtras (sacred texts) and returned after many trials and much suffering. The monk is referred to as Tang Sanzang in the novel. The novel retains the broad outline of Xuanzang's own account, Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, but adds elements from folk tales and the author's invention: Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as Tang Sanzang's steed, a white horse. The group of pilgrims journeys towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation. Intangible Saturday 06th of May 2023 07:08:59 PM Saturday 06th of May 2023 07:08:59 PM

1625 Longmen Grottoes The Longmen Grottoes are a collection of Buddhist cave temples and statues located in Luoyang, China, dating back to the Northern Wei dynasty (386-535 AD) and the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). The grottoes contain over 100,000 Buddhist statues and carvings. The works of humans and nature have been harmoniously unified and the landscapes possess high integrity. The two sculptural art styles, the earlier “Central China Style” and the later “Great Tang Style” had great influence within the country and throughout the world, and have made important contributions to the development of the sculptural arts in other Asian countries. The sculptures and reliefs were created over a period of several centuries and represent a blend of Chinese and Indian Buddhist artistic traditions. The Longmen Grottoes have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 for their “outstanding artistic value” and their “testimony to the cultural tradition of Buddhist influence in China.” Digital technology has been used to enhance the preservation and accessibility of the Longmen Grottoes. For example, people use 3D scanning and printing technology that allowed for the creation of detailed replicas of the sculptures, which can be used for study and display purposes.

1654 PSILORITIS UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK (Greece) The PSILORITIS UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK, located on the Greek island of Crete, occupies the central part of the island and was established in 2001. It is rich in geological diversity, with cross sections of various rock types such as ophiolite, providing an excellent vantage point for understanding the progress of the Earth. The fascinating caves and deep canyons, its traditional cuisine, hundreds of species of plants and animals, its stunning scenery, and the many ways in which travelers can choose to visit Crete have given it an international reputation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a normal trip to Geopark became impossible, but a variety of digital technologies were subsequently found to be available for participation. Because UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK is a heritage site that serves both the functions of a park and educational purposes, it is particularly important to design a variety of visiting formats for this purpose. Even after the end of the virus, digital media is a good way to visit Geopark virtually, avoid pollution and other problems caused by too many tourists, maintain sustainability, continue green tourism, and play a positive role in climate change. This includes reducing the carbon emissions that people cause by travelling to their destinations. I have added a variety of different forms of media here. There are three different types in total, including photo, video and virtual tour. You can experience this UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK in a variety of ways and enjoy a brand-new travel experience.

1722 Day of the Dead (Spanish: El Día de los Muertos) It is an important festival in Mexico. This intangible cultural heritage is a time when people gather in cemeteries to pray for their loved ones and bring them the food and wine they once enjoyed. The event takes place every year from October 31 to November 2. The origins of this traditional holiday may be traced back to rituals performed by the ancient Aztec people, who honored the dead by placing skulls on Aztec temples more than a thousand years before the Day of the Dead. But it has evolved throughout history and is now a huge annual world festival. In addition to the food, the building of the altar was also an essential part of the festival, with Christian crosses, skulls made of clay, and other colorful artistic designs placed around the altar along with yellow cempasúchil flowers. It is believed that the scent of the flower will guide departing spirits to find their way home. Mexicans use this unique way of remembering and communicating with the dead, and as Pixar's 2017 film Coco suggests, people don't really die until their loved ones forget about them.

1740 Castel del Monte, Apulia Castel del Monte, translated from Italian, means "castle on a hill". Built in the 13th century by King Frederick II and said to be inspired by Greco-Roman architecture, it is located in the Apulia region of Italy and is protected as a World Heritage Site. It was also printed on the Italian version of the euro penny. Throughout history, the castle has served not only as a hunting house for kings, a refuge in times of plague, and even as a prison for generals. Modern scholars disagree on whether to classify it as a cottage or a castle, though it has since been confirmed that it was a castle, as it originally had a curtain wall. Because of the mathematical rules and beauty of its construction, it was once considered very mysterious by historians, and was the inspiration for Umberto Eco's novel The Name of the Rose.

The feature of the basalt columns is that each piece aligns parallelly to one another. The climate threats the basalt columns encounter are the acid rain and the rising sea level. The acid rain will wash off the surface of the basalt more than usual rain will. This causes the damage to the structure of the stones. Once the structure of them is no longer sound, the columns may fall off someday. On the other hand, if the sea level continues rising, the sea may someday submerge the basalt columns.

1749 Champurrado Champurrado is a thick Mexican beverage that is a chocolate atole, a drink made with corn flour. Champurrado is a winter beverage—traditionally drunk during Day of the Dead in November and the Christmas Posadas. Served alongside other winter foods, like tamales, champurrado is a symbol of Mexicanidad, or Mexican Identity. Champurrado and Tamales are even served during week-long funeral events at night, as it is a comfort food during time of grief. Atole has been popular in Mexico, long before the Spanish conquistadors—in fact, archaeologists have proven it continues to be made the exact same way, especially when using clay pots and the traditional molinillo (a wooden tool for mixing). Though today, most of the corn flour is ground using electric grinders, or manual steel grinders if still done by hand, some rural communities continue to grind the corn kernels on a block of cured volcanic rock, just like in pre-colonised Mexico. The drink does not use normal sugar, but with unrefined sugar cane called piloncillo [8]. It was thought by the Mayans that champurrado would bring strength to its drinker, perhaps the true endurance of the drink is the comfort and its community-building capabilities.

1750 Untitled_design.gif Champurrado is a thick Mexican beverage that is a chocolate atole, a drink made with corn flour. Champurrado is a winter beverage—traditionally drunk during Day of the Dead in November and the Christmas Posadas. Served alongside other winter foods, like tamales, champurrado is a symbol of Mexicanidad, or Mexican Identity. Champurrado and Tamales are even served during week-long funeral events at night, as it is a comfort food during time of grief. Atole has been popular in Mexico, long before the Spanish conquistadors—in fact, archaeologists have proven it continues to be made the exact same way, especially when using clay pots and the traditional molinillo (a wooden tool for mixing). Though today, most of the corn flour is ground using electric grinders, or manual steel grinders if still done by hand, some rural communities continue to grind the corn kernels on a block of cured volcanic rock, just like in pre-colonised Mexico. The drink does not use normal sugar, but with unrefined sugar cane called piloncillo [8]. It was thought by the Mayans that champurrado would bring strength to its drinker, perhaps the true endurance of the drink is the comfort and its community-building capabilities.

1764 Fujian Lacquerware Description: Heritage - Fujian Lacquerware is a traditional Chinese art form originating in Fujian Province, known for its exquisite craftsmanship and intricate design. Fujian lacquerware uses raw lacquer, a natural resin obtained from the lacquer tree, as its primary material. The lacquer is applied in multiple layers and then polished to create a durable, glossy surface that is resistant to moisture and wear. The art of lacquerware includes a variety of objects such as furniture, boxes, trays, and decorative items. Climate Threats - Due to the region's subtropical maritime climate, Fujian Province is subject to high humidity and frequent rainfall. Over time, these conditions can cause damage to Fujian Lacquerware by promoting mold growth, causing the lacquer to crack or peel, or affecting the structural integrity of wooden components. Additionally, climate change-induced increases in temperature and humidity can accelerate the deterioration process. Proper storage, display, and maintenance are essential to preserving these valuable cultural artifacts. Physical Object Tuesday 09th of May 2023 09:51:19 PM Tuesday 09th of May 2023 09:51:19 PM

The area also contains nearly 2,500 stelae and inscriptions, hence the name "Forest of Ancient Stelae", as well as over sixty Buddhist pagodas.

1897 Cathedral Caverns State Park Originally called Bat Cave, Cathedral Caverns was opened to the public by Jacob Gurley in the 1950's. The cave was renamed because of its cathedral-like appearance. Purchased by the state in 1987, it was opened as a State Park in the summer of 2000. The first feature most people notice about Cathedral Caverns is its massive entrance. The huge opening measures 126 feet wide and 25 feet high, a possible world record for commercial caves. The grand entrance is only the beginning. Inside the cavern are some of the most beautiful formations Mother Nature has ever created including “Goliath”- one of the largest stalagmites in the world measuring 45 feet tall and 243 feet in circumference. Cathedral Caverns features many amazing sites: a "caveman" perched atop a flowstone wall, a "frozen" waterfall, a large stalagmite forest and a most improbable stone formation - a stalagmite that is 27 feet tall and 3 inches wide! -alapark.com Site Thursday 21st of March 2024 12:17:56 PM Thursday 21st of March 2024 12:17:56 PM

1902 Kowloon Walled City Kowloon Walled City was an ungoverned settlement in British-occupied Hong Kong. It evolved from a Chinese military output during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) into a densely populated urban enclave due to ambiguous jurisdictional boundaries after the Second World War. Without effective governance from China or Britain, the Walled City developed organically, with buildings constructed without official permits and businesses operating independently. By the late 1980s, it housed over 50,000 in a labyrinthine network of high-rise buildings characterised by poverty and crime (Fraser & Cheuk-Yin Li, 2017). It was demolished in 1993. The Walled City is portrayed in various video games such as Stray (2022) and Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010). Moreover, online archives of photographs and illustrations along with 3D digital reconstructions and animations continue to preserve its unique cultural legacy for audiences worldwide. Awareness of the complexities of Kowloon Walled City provides lessons on urban living, community resilience, and the importance of sustainable city development - thus contributing to Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

1911 Kai Tak Airport Kai Tak Airport was Hong Kong's international airport from 1925 to 1998. It was surrounded by apartment complexes, mountains, and water such that only the most experienced pilots were allowed to land there (Villamizar, 2023). Upon approach, the pilot had to spot Checkboard Hill, before making a sharp 47-degree right turn above the Kowloon City district and touching down at the first section of the runway to avoid Victoria Harbour. This approach was one of the world’s last landing spots in which automated aircraft instruments could not fly and instead, relied on the pilot’s visual judgement. Online archives of photographs depicting the approach along with documentaries on its history preserve the legacy of Kai Tak. Enthusiasts can also recreate the landing in flight simulator programs (i.e. Microsoft Flight Simulator, 2020) at home. Although the airport is no longer operational, the redevelopment of its former site into a mixed-use district promotes compact, integrated, and resilient urban living - thus contributing to Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. Likewise, the digital preservation of the heritage can address Target 11.3 as urban planners can learn from the challenges and successes of Kai Tak's operation to enhance the sustainability and inclusivity of future urban developments.

1921 The Bayeux Tapestry, France The Bayeux Tapestry is an iconic historical artifact that vividly narrates the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Despite its name, the tapestry was likely created in England shortly after the conquest, possibly in Canterbury. It measures approximately 70 meters long and is embroidered on linen cloth in colored wool yarns. The tapestry depicts scenes of battles, coronations, and daily life, providing valuable insights into the political and cultural dynamics of the time. Its intricate detail and skilled craftsmanship make it a masterpiece of medieval art. Although the tapestry's precise origins and purpose remain subject to debate among scholars, it is widely believed to have been commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother to William the Conqueror, or by William's wife, Queen Matilda. Today, the Bayeux Tapestry is housed in the Bayeux Museum in Normandy, France, where it attracts thousands of visitors annually. It serves as a crucial historical record, offering a unique glimpse into the medieval period and the Norman Conquest, and continues to inspire fascination and study among historians, artists, and enthusiasts worldwide.

1959 Routes of Santiago de Compostella (23/24) The Route of Santiago de Compostela are a network of Christian Pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Both French and Spanish portions of the Route are UNESCO world heritage sites. Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela started in the 9th century after the discovery of the Apostle James the Greater’s tomb in the Spanish city. Across their 12 centuries of history, the pilgrimage routes of Santiago de Compostela have become a fruitful place for cultural exchange, and the union of multiple forms of heritage. The pilgrimage routes feature a range of immovable cultural heritage sites, including churches, cathedrals, and sites related to the practice of pilgrimage. The routes are also a natural heritage of Southern Europe, with routes going through France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. The routes are not represented by a singular body, though many organisations are dedicated to it. Digital interpretations include online photographic galleries, blogs and forums, 360 and Virtual Reality tours, interactive games and apps. These interpretations contribute to SDG11: Sustainable Cities, target 11.4, through their effort to preserve the “world’s cultural and natural heritage."

1965 Hong Kong-style Milk Tea Hong Kong-style milk tea consists of Ceylon black tea, evaporated milk, and sugar. During the British colonial rule of Hong Kong, English-style tea was expensive and served exclusively in upscale establishments (Chan, 2018). After the Second World War, tea houses began adapting the recipe to better cater to local tastes. Namely, a stronger blend of Ceylon tea leaves was created. Following infusion, the tea is poured from pot to pot and filtered through a sackcloth bag four times to achieve the optimal aroma, colour, and flavour. Evaporated milk is then added instead of regular milk for its affordability and smoother taste. This beverage is deeply ingrained in the identity of Hong Kong and symbolises the fusion of Cantonese and British cultures characteristic of the region. Simplified recipes for Hong Kong-style milk tea are available across social media and its unique brewing process is also chronicled through online short documentaries and interviews with tea masters. Such digital interpretations increase awareness which can drive tourism to the area. The preparation and sale of Hong Kong-style milk tea can support employment opportunities to contribute to Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.

1972 Kai Tak Airport Kai Tak Airport was Hong Kong's international airport from 1925 to 1998. It was surrounded by apartment complexes, mountains, and water such that only the most experienced pilots were allowed to land there (Villamizar, 2023). Upon approach, the pilot had to spot Checkboard Hill, before making a sharp 47-degree right turn above the Kowloon City district and touching down at the first section of the runway to avoid Victoria Harbour. This approach was one of the world’s last landing spots in which automated aircraft instruments could not fly and instead, relied on the pilot’s visual judgement. Online archives of photographs depicting the approach along with documentaries on its history preserve the legacy of Kai Tak. Enthusiasts can also recreate the landing in flight simulator programs (i.e. Microsoft Flight Simulator, 2020) at home. Although the airport is no longer operational, the redevelopment of its former site into a mixed-use district promotes compact, integrated, and resilient urban living - thus addressing Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

1973 Kowloon Walled City Kowloon Walled City was an ungoverned settlement in British-occupied Hong Kong. It evolved from a Chinese military output during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) into a densely populated urban enclave due to ambiguous jurisdictional boundaries after the Second World War. Without effective governance from China or Britain, the Walled City developed organically, with buildings constructed without official permits and businesses operating independently. By the late 1980s, it housed over 50,000 in a labyrinthine network of high-rise buildings characterised by poverty and crime (Fraser & Cheuk-Yin Li, 2017). It was demolished in 1993. The Walled City is portrayed in various video games such as Stray (2022) and Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010). Moreover, online archives of photographs and illustrations along with 3D digital reconstructions and animations continue to preserve its unique cultural legacy for audiences worldwide. Studying the social structures and informal governance systems within Kowloon Walled City can shed light on addressing inequalities and promoting inclusion in urban settings to address Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.

1974 Historic Centre of Macao The historic center of Macau perfectly showcases the fruits of centuries of integration and coexistence between Chinese and Western cultures. From the mid-16th century until 1999, Macau remained under Portuguese rule, leaving behind a rich legacy of Sino-Portuguese architecture, including streets, residences, religious, and public buildings. These structures not only bear witness to the exchange of aesthetics, culture, architecture, and technology between the East and the West but also demonstrate their fusion. Digital technologies, such as virtual reality (VR), have opened up new pathways for the preservation and promotion of Macau's cultural heritage. Through these technologies, audiences from around the world can embark on virtual journeys across different cultural backgrounds, thus gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of Macau's unique history and cultural heritage.

1992 Acheron River Acheron River holds significant cultural value in Greece. Starting from the top of Tomaros Mountains in Ioannina and ending in the Ionian Sea, in Homer's Odyssey, it was the river used to travel to the underworld. Due to this nature of the river, the Nekromanteion is also located in the area, which is an ancient Greek temple dedicated to Hades (the god of death) and Persephone (his wife). The river is also well-known for its unique ecosystem, which is home to endangered flora and fauna, which attracts tourists from all over the world. All of these attributes denote the site's contribution to many of the UN's sustainable development goals. Namely, goal number 4, Quality Education, since preserving the site provides a unique opportunity for its visitors to understand Greek culture and its mythology. Goals eight, fourteen and fifteen are also relevant to the site, due to its environment (being able to preserve it and allow it to flourish), but also its ability to attract tourism.

1997 Dunhuang Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves in Dunhuang are a world-renowned holy site of Buddhist art, located under the Mingsha Mountain in the southeast of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province, China. As one of China's four great grottoes, Mogao Grottoes are renowned for their exquisite murals and sculptures, and are a treasure of ancient Chinese Buddhist culture. However, this thousand-year-old cultural heritage is facing unprecedented threats from climate change. Rising temperatures and frequent extreme weather events due to climate change have had both direct and indirect impacts on the Mogao Grottoes. Rising temperatures accelerate the weathering process of the murals, putting these precious works of art at risk of fading and flaking. At the same time, extreme weather events such as heavy rains and sandstorms also pose a threat to the structural safety of the Mogao Caves. Heavy rains may cause the humidity inside the caves to rise, further affecting the state of preservation of the murals. On the other hand, sand and dust storms may erode the external structures of the caves, causing physical damage to the sculptures and murals. In addition, climate change may exacerbate regional water stress, affecting the groundwater system on which the Mogao Grottoes depend, and in turn affecting the stability of humidity and temperature inside the caves, which would be extremely detrimental to the long-term conservation of the murals and sculptures.

2053 La Sagrada Família Nestled in the heart of Barcelona, the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia stands as a monumental testament to the genius of Antoni Gaudí, one of the most innovative architects of the modern era. Conceived in 1882 and still under construction, this majestic structure embodies Gaudí's unique approach to Art Nouveau, merging Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. In 1984, it was registered as a United Nations World Heritage under the name "Works of Antoni Gaudí". The Sagrada Familia is not merely a church but a canvas of Christian narrative and Catalan identity carved into stone and glass. Gaudí's design is replete with curves that defy traditional architectural lines, reflecting his belief that there are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature. Through these sinuous forms, often referred to as "curves for God," Gaudí sought to bring a slice of the divine to earth, capturing the essence of sacred geometry and the organic patterns of nature. Digital interpretation can significantly address the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.4, which is Enhancing Accessibility and Education. Via Digital tools and platforms, such as virtual tours, augmented reality (AR), and interactive apps, La Sagrada Familia can be more accessible to a global audience. People who cannot physically visit the site due to geographic, economic, or physical constraints can still explore its architectural beauty and historical significance. This increased accessibility helps educate a broader audience about the importance of cultural preservation and the architectural innovations of Antoni Gaudí. Digital interpretation tools can also promote the integration of cultural heritage into sustainable urban development plans. They allow policymakers, educators, and tourists to recognize the value of cultural heritage, encouraging more responsible tourism and sustainable management practices that respect and preserve historic sites.

2055 Bronze statue of Eros sleeping This bronze statue of a sleeping Eros, the Roman god of love, is at the pinnacle of Hellenistic sculpture work. The Hellenistic period ushered in the "accurate characterisation of age," which this sculpture exemplifies through the depiction of Eros as a baby. The importance of this statue can be understood through the sheer number of replicas of it – the Roman period was rich with sleeping baby Eros statues throughout public spaces. This sculpture also reframes the narrative around Eros; his softness and vulnerability as depicted here is contrasted with the powerful and cruel characteristic he displays in the poetry of the time.

2226 Highland Cattle Highland Cattle is a breed of cattle originally from the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland. Highland cattle became an important part of the economy in Scotland and were used for their milk, meat, and fur (Highland Cows, 2019). Their double coat of hair makes them well suited for the weather conditions in the Highlands, which have made it difficult for other breeds to survive. The Highland Coo has become a symbol of Scotland's untamed beauty (lovetovisitscotland, 2023). Their distinctive look makes them popular among tourists, and many farms offer different activities where tourists can interact with the cows and even cuddle with them. Their cultural significance is also prominent as they are referenced in classic literature, folklore, as well as different cultural festivals and celebrations (Highland Cows in Literature and Folklore: Exploring Their Cultural Sig, 2023). Preserving Highland cows through digital methods would address Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations, 2015) such as: - SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, specifically Target 11.4: "Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage." - SDG 4.7: Education and Awareness - SDG 15.5: Biodiversity Conservation - SDG 2.4: Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture Physical Object Friday 03rd of May 2024 12:12:09 AM Friday 03rd of May 2024 06:31:24 AM

2267 Chartres Cathedral Chartres Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture in France, surpasses even Notre Dame de Paris in grandeur and preservation. Constructed between 1194 and 1250 on a historically revered site, the cathedral stands as a monument to medieval Christian art and architecture. Famous for its extensive use of stained glass, the cathedral’s walls are nearly entirely composed of colorful glass, making it a significant example of Gothic evolution from the Romanesque style. The cathedral is renowned not only for its architectural structure but also for its intricate stained glass windows and rich Gothic sculptures, whose meanings are deeply studied by scholars. The cathedral features a 34-meter-high vault, which is 4 meters taller than that of Notre Dame, enhancing its majestic presence. Chartres Cathedral’s design includes a vast array of stained glass that covers 32,292 square feet, with most of the original 13th-century glass still intact, illustrating biblical stories and Christian doctrines in vibrant color and detail. Notable for its scale and artistic detail, the cathedral’s interior is a pilgrimage site for its relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary during Christ's birth. This relic continues to draw pilgrims alongside tourists who come to admire the architectural and sculptural elements of the building. In 1979, Chartres Cathedral was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its cultural and historical significance. The cathedral’s design exemplifies the Gothic ideal, with its high, intricate vaults supported by external buttresses, allowing for larger windows and thus more light. The architectural plan features a long nave flanked by aisles and an apse at the eastern end, typical of French Gothic cathedrals. The exterior is dominated by two contrasting spires and three large rose windows, each adorned with detailed sculptures that narrate theological stories.

2367 The Herculaneum Scrolls The Herculaneum Scrolls are ancient scrolls discovered in Herculaneum in the 18th century AD. The scrolls were buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79. Now these ancient scrolls have been severely carbonized and are very fragile. If they are not careful, they will be completely broken, making it difficult for people to open these scrolls. In the early days, the scrolls were even thought to be carbonized tree branches and were abandoned or even burned. Currently, researchers are using a variety of methods to try to unfold The Herculaneum Scrolls, even using the latest three-dimensional scanning technology and artificial intelligence algorithms, and have made a lot of progress. Years of research revealed that the scrolls came from ancient libraries and contained many ancient Greek philosophical texts, including the works of ancient Greek philosophers and poets.

2469 Cinque Terre The five villages of the Cinque Terre are spread out along the rugged coastline, with ancient stone walls supporting the villages and the surrounding terraces, which together with the traditional farming methods reflect the region's centuries-old harmony with the natural environment. In addition, the villages are connected to each other by footpaths, while maintaining traditional Ligurian architecture, providing a rich cultural experience and visual treat for the visitor. As a result, Cinque Terre is not only a major tourist attraction in Italy, but also one of the most important cultural heritages in the world. The conservation of the Cinque Terre as a cultural heritage site helps to maintain traditional architectural styles and farming methods, which not only preserve the historical and cultural identity of the area, but also enhance the visitor experience and contribute to the local economy. This corresponds to SDG 11.4: Strive for the protection and conservation of the world cultural and natural heritage. Site Sunday 05th of May 2024 12:52:20 AM Sunday 05th of May 2024 12:23:09 PM

2574 Aletsch Glacier The Aletsch Glacier is a major tourist attraction, and an example of natural heritage, located in Switzlerland. It is home to various rare animal and plant species, offering breathtaking views of the ice formations in the surrounding landscapes. Moreover, it is part of a protected area which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as it holds significant cultural and economic value. For example, many communities rely on the water from the glacier for their livelihoods; i.e. drinking and agriculture, while it is also essential for creating liveable habitats for the high number of rare species in the ecosystem. Climate change is, however, causing the glacier to gradually melt which is having profoundly negative impacts on the ecosystem and culture. Digital interpretations of the Aletsch Glacier can help raise awareness for - and study - climate change. By allowing users to observe the gradual deterioration of the glacier over time, they can perhaps realise the extent of the damage that climate change can have. It is something that can be seen as a way to 'experience' climate change; comparing the glacier from thousands of years ago to the modern day provides irrefutable evidence for global warming.

2641 Monet - Sunrise Impression Impression, Sunrise (French: Impression, soleil levant) is an 1872 painting by Claude Monet first shown at what would become known as the "Exhibition of the Impressionists" in Paris in April, 1874. The painting is credited with inspiring the name of the Impressionist movement. Impression, Sunrise depicts the port of Le Havre, Monet's hometown. It is now displayed at the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris. Impression, Sunrise depicts the port of Le Havre at sunrise, the two small rowboats in the foreground and the red Sun being the focal elements. In the middle ground, more fishing boats are included, while in the background on the left side of the painting are clipper ships with tall masts. Behind them are other misty shapes that "are not trees but smokestacks of pack boats and steamships, while on the right in the distance are other masts and chimneys silhouetted against the sky." In order to show these features of industry, Monet eliminated existing houses on the left side of the jetty, leaving the background unobscured. Following the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, the regeneration of France was exemplified in the thriving port of Le Havre. Art historian Paul Tucker suggests that the contrast of elements like the steamboats and cranes in the background to the fishermen in the foreground represent these political implications: "Monet may have seen this painting of a highly commercial site as an answer to the postwar calls for patriotic action and an art that could lead. For while it is a poem of light and atmosphere, the painting can also be seen as an ode to the power and beauty of a revitalized France." The representation of Le Havre, hometown of Monet and a center of industry and commerce, celebrates the "renewed strength and beauty of the country... Monet's ultimate utopian statement." Art demonstrating France's revitalization, Monet's depiction of Le Havre's sunrise mirrors the renewal of France. Site Tuesday 07th of May 2024 04:07:54 PM Tuesday 07th of May 2024 04:07:54 PM

2763 Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley) Wadi Al-Hitan, the whale valley in the western desert of Egypt, contains priceless fossilised remains of the earliest, and now extinct, suborder of whales, the Archaeoceti. These fossils represent one of evolution's most important stories: the whale's emergence as an ocean-going mammal from a previous life as a land-based animal. This is the most important place in the world to demonstrate this stage of evolution. It provides a vivid picture of the shape and life of whales during this transitional phase. The number, concentration and quality of fossils here is unique, as is its accessibility and location in an attractive and protected landscape. The fossils in Al-Hitan show the youngest archaeocetes, which are in the final stages of losing their hind limbs. Other fossil material in the area makes it possible to reconstruct the environmental and ecological conditions of the time.

2850 Traditional Li textile techniques: spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidering The traditional Li textile techniques of spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidering are employed by women of the Li ethnic group of Hainan Province, China, to make cotton, hemp and other fibres into clothing and other daily necessities. The techniques involved, including warp ikat, double-face embroidery, and single-face jacquard weaving, are passed down from mothers to daughters from early childhood through verbal instruction and personal demonstration. Li women design the textile patterns using only their imagination and knowledge of traditional styles. In the absence of a written language, these patterns record the history and legends of Li culture as well as aspects of worship, taboos, beliefs, traditions and folkways. The patterns also distinguish the five major spoken dialects of Hainan Island. The textiles form an indispensable part of important social and cultural occasions such as religious rituals and festivals, and in particular weddings, for which Li women design their own dresses. As carriers of Li culture, traditional Li textile techniques are an indispensable part of the cultural heritage of the Li ethnic group. However, in recent decades the numbers of women with the weaving and embroidery skills at their command has severely declined to the extent that traditional Li textile techniques are exposed to the risk of extinction and are in urgent need of protection.

Li women have recorded their culture's history and legends through textile patterns, and have developed a complete set of techniques of spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidering. These traditional Li textile techniques, with a history of over 3,000 years, are known as a living fossil of China's textile history. They have been passed down exclusively among women, supporting gender equality and contributing significantly towards achieving SDG 5. With the development of the textile industry, most young Li women are unfamiliar with these traditional techniques. In response to the threat and risk that these techniques might be lost, the local government recorded how Li women made Li textiles, integrated the video into a series of tutorials, and shared resources with many colleges and institutions around the world. This digital protection and promotion contributes to the achievement of SDG 4, promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all by sharing resources, and also help revitalize the global partnership to achieve SDG 17.
