Public Group active 2 years, 5 months agoMany monuments recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage have seen the effects of the current economic crisis. Such examples include both the Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia and the Kukulkan Pyramid in Mexico [토토사이트] . This article compares and contrasts the two locations to see how the recession has impacted each. The possibilities and limitations of these are explored in the text as well. Take a look below to find out more. Also, this is the perfect time to go to either one if you haven’t already.
The economic downturn’s effect on prominent locations
Many nations have felt the effects of the global economic slump, but emerging and low-income economies, where people have fewer resources, have been hit particularly hard. David Malpass, president of the World Bank, claims that the current economic downturn threatens to undo decades of development in poor countries. Increased infant mortality and stunted growth in children may be further consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with a decrease in national wealth. It is predicted that developing countries will lose $220 billion this year, according to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
locations recognized as World Heritage by UNESCO
Important locations designated as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO are subject to special regulations. The UNESCO World Heritage List is updated annually with new additions chosen by the World Heritage Committee. There are five distinct regions that the committee has established. The UNESCO World Heritage sites in these areas vary greatly from one another. Here’s a slide show that shows off all the locations available. There are comments, ratings, images, and even YouTube videos embedded in there. The sites’ respective official websites are also excellent resources for additional information.
As such, the Cinque Terre is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Cinque Terre are five Italian settlements in the country’s westernmost region. The fictional city of Arendelle in the film “Frozen” was modeledon this breathtaking location.
Mexica’s Kukulkan Pyramid
As the tallest pyramid in Mexico at 30 meters, Kukulkan is easily the country’s most magnificent archaeological [토토사이트]. There are 91 steps on each side of this building, which was constructed between the 9th and 12th centuries. The Mayan calendar has 364 days or months, and each step here represents one month. Every one of the Kukulkan pyramid’s 18 stairwells represents a different month. Because no human remains have been found there, the building is presumed to be unoccupied.
It is a common misconception among tourists that they can climb the pyramids, but in fact, this is strictly forbidden. It’s not safe and it could make you feel trapped. Asthmatics and those with high blood pressure should also avoid the tombs due to the heat and dust. People who have cardiac conditions should also refrain from visiting the pyramids. Many persons with cardiac conditions should avoid visiting the pyramids, and the public cannot approach them.
“Angkor Wat”
Many consider Angkor Wat to be the finest example of ancient Khmer architecture. The building, which took forty years to complete, is a synthesis of Hindu and Buddhist styles. The magnificence and balance of its design are well-known. Large bas-reliefs and devatas decorate the walls and ceiling of the structure, giving it a mystical air. When in Cambodia, you really must check out this structure.
In the 20th century, the Angkor Wat complex underwent a massive refurbishment effort. Construction of the temple was halted during the Cambodian Civil War and the Khmer Rouge’s rule of Cambodia in the 1970s and 1980s, but little permanent damage was done to the structure. Looting and unlawful excavation, however, persisted at the site after the conflict ended. The area was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992.
