This is a special episode talking about the newest UNESCO World Heritage cultural site: The Asuka and Fujiwara Ancient Capitals. This is particularly relevant as it is directly related to the history we are currently examining in this podcast. For more information, check out the blogpost at: https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-unesco  Rough Transcript: Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua, and this is a special episode on Japan's newest UNESCO world heritage site: the Ancient Capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara. Rarely do I focus too much on current events in this podcast.  After all, we are still dealing with the events of the 7th century, and that is hardly "current" in any sense.  However, just last month, at the end of July 2026, the UNESCO World Heritage Convention met and made a ruling on inducting the Ancient Capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara as one of the newest World Heritage sites. Given the obvious relevance of this to this podcast, I thought it was worth talking about. As such we'll go into a little history of the UNESCO world heritage convention, what it means, and how sites get added—or even removed—from the list.  And then we'll talk about the addition of the Ancient Capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara, what is included in that description, and what part those various locations play in the story of Japan's history, which we've been laying out for the past several years.  Warning up front:  This is probably going to be a longer episode than usual, as there is a lot to cover, but it still didn't seem to make sense to break it up into two parts. Before we get into the background of UNESCO more generally, let's talk briefly about the news.  The Ancient Capitals of Asuka and Fuijwara had been on UNESCO's tentative list since 2007, and following an on-site evaluation in September of 2025, the International Council on Monuments and Sites, or ICOMOS, made a recommendation in June 2026 that the property be inscribed on the World Heritage list. On 26 July, 2026, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee met in Busan, South Korea and accepted the recommendation.  This becomes Japan's 22nd cultural World Heritage site, and the 27th World Heritage property in Japan, since the World Heritage program is also inclusive of natural heritage sites, such as Yakushima, Amami-Ohoshima, the Ogasawara islands, and the mountainous regions of Shirakami-Sanchi, and Shiretoko, in Hokkaido. The recommendation for Asuka and Fujiwara was not just for a single site, but includes 19 individual sites and over 1,100 hectares of "buffer zone".  The individual sites are listed on the UNSECO World Heritage website as follows: •             Asuka Palace Site •             Asuka Pond Garden Site •             Asuka Water Clock Site •             Sakafuneishi Ritual Site •             Asuka-dera Temple Site •             Tachibana-dera Temple Site •             Yamada-dera Temple Site •             Kawara-dera Temple Site •             Hinokuma-dera Temple Site •             Ishibutai Mounded Tomb •             Shobuike Mounded Tomb •             Kengoshizuka Mounded Tomb •             Fujiwara Palace Site •             Daikandaiji Temple Site •             Motoyakushiji Temple Site •             Mounded Tomb of Emperor Temmu and Empress Jito •             Nakaoyama Mounded Tomb •             Kitora Mounded Tomb •             Takamatsuzuka Mounded Tomb So these are the specific locations, that were included in the single designation.   And these are how they are officially listed on the UNESCO World Heritage site in English, so for anyone who is going to comment that saying Asuka-dera Temple is redundant, because "Tera" already means "Temple", let's just not, shall we?  They are all in the Asuka and Kashihara area, and easily accessible, one from the other, so you can go and visit them if you would like.  I suspect that there is going to be a bit of push for that area in the coming tourist season as they now put up official UNESCO world heritage site markers.  And you may have noticed that a lot of these site names may sound very familiar, because the majority of them are places we've already mentioned on the podcast – but more on that later. But first, what does it mean to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site? UNESCO is the "United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization".  It was founded in 1945, with the stand-up of the UN itself, as a successor to the League of Nations' International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation.  That said, the idea of a "World Heritage Site" didn't come about until 1975, with the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, with the first sites being designated in 1978. Prior to this, UNESCO had been involved in various attempts to help preserve various monuments of historical significance.  They begin working with various museums and other organizations, and in 1965 UNESCO created ICOMOS, an international professional association to work towards the conservation and protection of cultural heritage.  A site designated as a World Heritage Site must be considered to be of "outstanding universal value" and can fall under one of two categories.  The first, and perhaps the one that most often comes to mind, are the cultural sites.  The second are natural sites considered of outstanding value.   With the 1975 convention, UNESCO had leaned heavily on ICOMOS as an advisory body regarding sites of particular cultural significance.  A similar body, the World Conservation Union, provides input on sites of natural significance. To be determined a World Heritage site, there is a set of ten criteria, and a site must meet at least one of the ten.  This means that a site must: i.            Represent a masterpiece of human creative genius ii.           Exhibit an important interchange of human values iii.          Bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization iv.           Illustrate a significant stage in human history v.            Be an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use vi.          Be directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance; or it must vii.         Contain superlative natural phenomena viii.        Be an outstanding example representing major stages of earth's history ix.          Be an outstanding example representing significant on-going ecological and biological processes in the evolution and development of ecosystems and communities of plants and animals; or it must x.           Contain the most important and significant natural habitats for conservation of biological diversity. I abbreviated that list, but it gives you an idea of what the committee is looking for. To be placed on the list, a site must first be nominated.  Nominations are made by UN member countries and placed on a Tentative List.  From there, they can be selected into a Nomination File, which is then evaluated by the advisory organizations as appropriate.  The World Heritage committee meets once a year, at which time they may determine whether a nominated site will be added to the World Heritage list or if more information is needed. Having a site listed as an UNESCO world heritage site carries prestige and can drive tourism and revenue to help protect the site.  Members can request financial assistance with some conservation projects, and signatory nations are expected to contribute to the conservation of world heritage sites.  At the same time, the host country is expected to provide regular reports on the conditions of the site and efforts being undertaken to conserve it.  Should the situation change so that key aspects of the site's intrinsic value are lost, the World Heritage Committee may choose to revoke a designation.  This has only been done a few times, but it is always a possibility. All of this means that the Asuka and Fujiwara capital sites are now eligible for certain types of financial assistance and international aid to help further preserve and even restore certain aspects, such as the tomb murals in the Takamatsuzuka and Kitora kofun.  But let's talk about the sites that have actually been included, and to do that, we'll go through in roughly chronological order, based on the timeline that was given by Japan in the nomination documents, and what makes the most sense for narrative cohesion.   That said, it is important to note that the dates on the timeline in the UNESCO nominating document are where we first see mentions of the monuments, not necessarily when the temples were first constructed or anything like that.  If you want to learn more, check out the documentation submitted on the UNESCO world heritage website. And speaking of learning more, many of the sites we are about to discuss we have covered in previous episodes—though some more than others.  We'll call out relevant episodes as we can, but you can also find out more by searching on our website, sengokudaimyo.com, for more information about any of these topics. Let's start with Asukadera, or Asuka Temple.  The nominating document notes that it was completed in 596, though it had been started quite a bit earlier.  We discussed Askua-dera and many of the other temples back in episode 142, though Asuka-dera itself has been a part of the story since at least Episode 92, with the rise of Soga no Umako.  Asuka-dera, as you may recall, started off as a private temple for the Soga family, though they were so intertwined with the royal family that it almost didn't make a difference.  For the longest time it was the primary temple site at least in the Asuka region, and defined what Buddhism looked like early on.  Later it would be included as one of the Four Great Temples, and it would eventually move to Nara, though a temple would continue to operate on the site until the modern day.  That said, through fires and reduced patronage, the current temple is much reduced from its former glory.  Still, archeologies have found indications at the site demonstrating the true extent of the temple at the height of its power and influence, and how it truly played a key role in numerous events surrounding the building of a continental style state government. Speaking of the Soga family, the next site on the list, dated to 626, is Ishibutai kofun.  Ishibutai kofun was originally a square kofun, or Houfun, thought to be the resting place of Soga no Umako, the Grand Minister and head of the Soga family who led it to prominence in the age of Kashikiya Hime, aka Suiko Tenno.  We talked about his passing in episode 103.  Excavations have suggested that the tomb took up an area about 85 meters to a side.  This included an outer moat and an inner, platform, about 50 meters square.  The burial chamber is a horizontal stone chamber created with impressive megaliths—a fancy word that just means "big stones".  In this case we are talking about stones that rival or even dwarf those at monuments like the famous Stonehenge, in England.  The stones are part of what give it its name, Ishibutai, or Stone Stage, because unlike in other kofun, these ones are exposed.  There is a theory that after the fall of the Soga family, and the deaths of Soga no Iruka and Soga no Emishi, the tomb was deliberately uncovered as a form of posthumous punishment. Because it is not a tomb under the care of the Imperial Household Agency, Ishibutai kofun has seen extensive excavation from 1933 to 1975.  That said, most of the funerary goods were likely stolen a long time ago.  There were some various bits and pieces found here and there—gilt and bronze implements and earthenware shards, but otherwise nothing truly significant.  They did find evidence of other tombs, nearby.  Perhaps ironically it seems that these other tombs were leveled to make room for Ishibutai kofun, making its own uncovering feel somewhat karmic, in a way. The next site, if we were to follow the timeline, is the Asuka Palace site.  This actually encompasses the site of at least four different palaces, which we discussed back in episode 134, with a blogpost showing the various palace remains, if you want to compare them.  In 630 we have the construction of the Okamoto Palace of Kashikiya Hime.  Then, in 643, we have the Itabuki Palace built for Takara Hime during her first reign as Kogyoku Tenno.  This was the location of the famous Isshi Incident, when Takara Hime's son, Naka no Oe, instituted the coup against Soga no Iruka and his father, killing Iruka in court in front of his mother.  For more on that, check out episode 106.  It was later used when she and Naka no Oe left the Toyosaki Naniwa Palace and returned to Asuka.  It may be during the time of the Itabuki Palace that another one of the monuments was built.  This is the Shobuike Kofun.  The nomination document doesn't give a precise date for this one, and we really only know for certain that it was built in the 7th century, but they place it on the timeline shortly after the events of 643.  Like Ishibutai kofun, it is a hofun, or square kofun, surrounded by a moat with a horizontal burial chamber.  At only 30 meters long, it is not as large or as prominent as Ishibutai Kofun, possibly indicating that the occupants were not as prominent or that kofun building as a whole was falling out of fashion.  Inside, there were two stone coffins, in the "house shape", meaning the lid had a peaked roof appearance.  In addition, the interior of the coffins was lacquered, making these unique in the archipelago.  Finally, perhaps as is the case with Ishibutai kofun, the mound appears to have been deliberately dismantled at some point in the early 8th century, when Fujiwara-kyo was still the capital. We do not know who was buried at Shobuike Kofun, but there are two theories.  One theory proposes that, given the unique features, it may have been a member of the royal family.  Another theory suggests that it may be a tomb for members of the Soga family.  This theory is connected to the idea that Ishibutai is the tomb of Soga no Umako.  Given its shape and similarities, perhaps this tomb is for a relative?  In addition, though not part of the World Heritage Site nomination, there is a nearby square kofun known as Koyamada Kofun.  There is a theory that this other tomb might also have been a royal tomb—perhaps even a first burial for Tamura no Ohokimi, aka Jomei Tenno.  However, there is another theory that these two tombs, together, make up the tombs of Soga no Emishi and Soga no Iruka.  That would explain them both being of similar shapes, and similar to the kofun thought to be that of Soga no Umako.  It could also explain why Shobuike kofun was later destroyed, like with Ishibutai Kofun. Shortly after Shobuike Kofun was thought to have been built, the court moved to Naniwa for a time, before eventually returning to the Itabuki Palace.  Then, in 656, we have the Nochi-no-Okamoto Palace, aka the Later Okamoto Palace, built after the Itabuki palace burned down.  It was repurposed by Ohoama when he brought the court back from Ohotsu, and then expanded with the Ebinoko Enclosure, among other changes, turning it into the Kiyomihara palace, where Ohoama and then Uno no Sarara ruled until the completion of the Fujiwara Palace around 694. Around the same time as the Later Okamoto Palace was the construction of the Sakafuneishi Ritual Site.  This site is located on a hill on the east side of the Asuka valley, overlooking the Asuka palace site.  There they have found stone walls, a strange carved stone with channels for what appears to be water or liquid for some kind of ritual purpose, and, towards the bottom of the hill, a stone turtle basin and water spout that appears to have once been connected to a spring.  Of all of the included sites, this is perhaps the most enigmatic in terms of how it was used and what was going on there.  It is likely that this is what is referred to in the Chronicle as the Tou no Mine site, where it is said that they built an enclosure encircling two tsuki trees, calling the site the Futatsuki Palace.  That said, today the name "tou-no-mine" is applied to a peak some distance further up the valley and into the mountains, and I do not believe that any concrete evidence of a "palace" has been found at either location.  Still, it demonstrates that there was something going on that was important enough to build walls and create intricate stone carvings—not something we necessarily find everywhere, though they are particularly prolific in the Asuka region once you consider all the various stone carvings that have been located there.  Current thinking seems to suggest that it was a site where sovereigns from Kashikiya Hime through Uno no Sarara conducted rites associated with ascension to the throne.  The walls show evidence of being built earlier in the 7th century, which we discussed in Episode 118, and then damaged during the incredibly powerful Nankai earthquake during the Hakuho era.  We talked about this earthquake back in episode 139, along with other natural disasters.  This was an earthquake of immense power, known as a Nankai Megathrust Earthquake, that caused destruction across the archipelago, from Shikoku up through the Kanto region.  Walls show evidence of being repaired in Temmu's time and the site appears to have been in use up through the 9th century.  This means it was still being used in some capacity even after the court had moved up to Heian-kyo, in modern Kyoto, but who knows by whom. By the way, I feel like I should address something here.  Often times there is a bit of an archaeological joke that if you don't know what something is it gets termed a "ritual site" or a "ritual implement".  And, granted, "ritual" does not necessarily mean "religious".  Brushing your teeth each day could be considered a ritual.  So is the inauguration of a new president or prime minister.  It just refers to something that we do regularly, usually as part of a societal tradition.  Often it is symbolic, though sometimes it can have a greater function.  So in all likelihood whatever was happening at the Sakafuneishi site probably was a kind of "ritual", whether it was religious or not, but we just don't have enough info to know what that might have looked like.  The physical evidence does not conform to any other well known practice, so we are left guessing. Compare this to another "ritual" site, the next on our list:  The Mizuochi site.  When it was first discovered in 1972, it was clear that it was important.  There was a large building foundation, in the shape of a square podium, faced with paving stones.  It was also near to Asukadera and the location where various stone figures had been found at the turn of the century.  It would take several more years to discern enough features to come to the realization of what it was for.  This was due to the discovery of highly unusual features and artifacts. For instance, there is the central building, designated SB200.  It had pillars set on base stones, forming a grid pattern in a square—four spans long on each side.  This is unusual compared to other buildings on the site, which had more conventional pillars embedded in the ground.  Each span of the pillars at SB200 was a uniform distance.  The podium on which the building was placed was just under 11 meters on each side, and a little more than a meter in height.  The pillar bases were further strengthened under the floor level, meaning that the resulting structure would have been remarkably sturdy.  In the center of the building was a stone platform, set about a meter below the surface, where they found the remains of a large and small lacquered wooden boxes.  Around the platform were buried wooden culverts and copper pipes, which would have been able to carry water to and from the site. There was nothing else like this discovered anywhere else, but given the nature of everything, it seemed to make sense that this was the site of the clepsydra, the water clock, which Naka no Oe is said to have built.  Pottery shards from around the 650s and 660s seem to back up this identification, and simulations have demonstrated how the water clock may have actually worked.  As such, the site seems to have been fairly well identified, which is really remarkable, and provides an incredible link to that era.  Not only that, but the technology demonstrated was incredibly advanced for its time.  As such, it truly is a remarkable site.  For more, check out Episode 127, where we talked more in depth about the importance of time and direction in Ancient Yamato. The next site on the list is the Kengoshizuka Kofun.  This mounded tomb is said to have been built around 667 CE—around the time that Yamato was supporting Baekje in a failed attempt to stave off that country's destruction at the hands of the Silla-Tang alliance.  This is an octagonal shaped kofun—a shape which is thought to have only been used by members of the royal family.  The academic position is that this is the tomb of Takara Hime—aka Saimei Tennou—who had died just as Yamato was starting to send troops to the Korean peninsula.  This theory is at odds with the Imperial Household Agency, which has designated a different tomb—Kurumaki-Kenno Kofun—as Saimei Tennou's mausoleum The story as it is recounted in the Nihon Shoki goes something like this.  As Yamato was gathering forces to defend Baekje—see episodes 123 and 124 for what happened—Takara Hime passed away at the temporary court set up in Asakura, in modern Kyushu.   With Yamato just about to launch a military campaign, they couldn't also hold a royal funeral, so they had her body taken back to the Nara basin..  Takara Hime's remains were temporarily interred at the plain of the Asuka River—Asuka-gawara.  It wouldn't be until after the conflict was over—a little more than 5 years later—that she would be buried.  At that time, we are told that she was buried together with Royal Princess Hashibito, her sister-in-law, at Wochi Hill—little market hill—and that the royal granddaughter, Princess Ohota, was buried in front.  And indeed, the layout of Kengoshizuka Kofun  has space for two coffins, and the archeologists found evidence of another burial in "front" of the kofun.  So in all ways this  seems to accord with the Chronicles, though the Imperial Household Agency has not chosen to change its designation.  I suspect that if they did it might cause some issues due to the limits of what archaeologists are allowed to do with tombs designated as royal mausoleums. Kengoshizuka Kofun has been remarkably reconstructed, so that you can go and see what it probably looked like when it was first built.  Since it was not designated as an imperial mausoleum by the Imperial Household Agency, archaeologists were able to excavate Kengoshizuka, and they found some remarkable finds, including a particularly spectacular coffin fitting made of cloisonne hexagonal plates with images of flowers that were connected to each other.  There also appears to have been a coffin made with lacquered linen, rather than the stone or tuff coffins found elsewhere.  So that's Kengoshizuka Kofun.  That's #7 on our list.  Moving on to #8, on the timeline at 673, it is Kawara-dera, and I'm going to lump this in with Tachibana-dera, which is noted on the timeline at 680.  In fact, the nominating document proposes a much earlier timeline for the start of Tachibana-dera, starting in the 640s, with Kawara-dera in the 660s, about two decades later. These two temples sit across from one another, and at one time they appear to have been coupled together as a monastery and a nunnery.  In fact, the nominating documents call out Tachibana-dera as Japan's oldest nunnery. The actual founding of these two temples is somewhat in dispute.  Let me start with Tachibana-dera.  Tachibana-dera claims to have been founded by none other than the legendary Shotoku Taishi.  It is said that the land of Tachibana-dera was the area of the palace where Prince Umayado, aka Shotoku Taishi, was born, and that in 606 he had the property turned into a temple.  As such, it claims to be one of seven major temples built by the Prince.  However, we don't have any actual documentation for the temple until it shows up in 680, due to the report of a fire.  We do see it in numerous poems in the Man'yoshu, which is one of the ways we can also tell that it was a nunnery. More information can be gleaned from the archaeological excavations at the site.  The original temple was clearly built on the same Baekje designs as others of that period.  In an interesting twist, it appears as though the temple was not oriented north to south, as others were, but rather it was oriented west to east.  This would have had it facing the royal palace, initially, in a configuration very similar to that of Shitennoji, in Osaka, or Yamadadera, which is also one of the sites included in UNESCO World Heritage designation. The original temple had a middle gate, a pagoda, a main hall—or kondo—and a lecture hall (Koudou).  It was surrounded by a walled corridor.  Some of the roof tiles that have been found appear to be from the first quarter of the 7th century, but there are many more from the mid-7th century, suggesting that full-scale construction wasn't carried out until that period.  None of the original buildings appear to have survived, though there is an Asuka era stone statue, as well as various important cultural properties that have been preserved, and excavations have given us an idea of what it looked like, originally. Compare that to Kawara-dera, which sits to the north of Tachibana-dera.  We've talked about Kawara-dera before, as it was eventually designated one of the four national temples.  It was clearly built at a later date than Tachibana-dera, though when, exactly, is still unclear. There is mention of a Kawara-dera in an entry for 653, but even then, the Chronicles note that may have actually been at Yamada-dera, on the other side of Asuka, indicating that even the Chroniclers weren't entirely sure.  That leaves the first clean mention of the temple at 673, in the reign of Ohoama, aka Temmu Tenno.  There is a note, prior to this, in about 656, which talks about "Kawara no Miya", or the Kawara Palace. This is where Takara Hime briefly moved after the fires damaged the Itabuki Palace, which was rebuilt into the Later Okamoto Palace.  It is thought that Kawara-dera is on the site of that temporary palace, and it is possible that the building of that palace lent something to the eventual creation of Kawara-dera. Kawara-dera has a unique layout, known specifically as the Kawara-dera style temple layout.  Although the overall temple is built on a north-south axis, the west main hall faces east, towards the pagoda, in the southern courtyard.  There was then a central main hall, and then the northern courtyard, with the koudou, or lecture hall, facing south.  There is also evidence that the east gate was sizeable—possibly larger than the south gate.  If so, it may be that this temple, like Tachibana-dera, was also facing east—facing the palace—but it was, at the same time, also on the same north-south access as other buildings and facilities.  This almost seems like they were perhaps compromising between facing the palace and utilizing the continental idea of a north-south alignment.  I almost wonder if the pagoda and western kondou weren't first built and then someone decided to change the orientation mid-way through the building process.  Either way, it is definitely unique. Although Kawara-dera was designated as one of the four national temples, it is the only temple that was not eventually moved up to Heijo-kyo, or Nara, when the capital eventually moved up there.  There are numerous theories as to why, but regardless of that, it stayed in Asuka and was no longer considered a national temple.  Over time it declined, and repairs could not be maintained across the entire complex.  Today, a successor temple, Gufuku-ji, sits on the site, but it is much reduced.  Fortunately, you can still see many of the exposed footings and get an idea for just what this temple was like back in its heyday. Now since we've mentioned it, it is probably worth talking about Yamada-dera, which is also on the list.  Like the others, there is a small successor temple to the north, but most of the ancient Yamada-dera grounds are visible, and if you go out there you can clearly see where all the buildings were.  There are signs and raised platforms depicting where the various buildings were at, so you can easily see what was there.  Furthermore, if you check out the Asuka Historical Museum, they have a remarkably well-preserved section of one of the walls of the gallery from the temple, including some roof elements.  It appears to have fallen down during a fire, and other material must have fallen on top of it so that the fire could not consume that section, leaving it in incredible shape. Yamada-dera is part of the Hosso sect—that is the sect following the teachings of the monk Xuanzang.  We talked about Xuanzang, and the monks who studied with him, back in episodes 120 to 122.  It is said to have been founded by Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa no Maro.  He was a relative of Soga no Emishi who supported Prince Naka no Oe in his coup in 645.  Soga no Kurayamada eventually became Udaijin, or Minister of the Right, and he was essential in implementing the Taika reforms.  Long story short, he was slandered, and fled to Yamada-dera, which was still under construction.  Rather than being taken by government forces, he took his own life, as well as that of his wife and eight children.  You can listen to the whole story back in Episode 112.  All of that is said to have happened here at that temple, in the year 649.  Perhaps because of the stain of that incident, the temple construction appears to have been halted for a time.  It wouldn't be completed until 685, when Ohoama and his wife, Uno no Sarara, a direct descendant of Soga no Kurayamada, were on the throne. Finally, there is one more temple from this early period that is mentioned, and that is Hinokuma-dera.  Of all of the temples so far, this one we probably have mentioned the least in the main podcast.  Hinokuma-dera is located to the southwest of the main Asuka valley, south of the famous Takamatsuzuka kofun.  It is first mentioned in a record dated to 686.  That indicates it must have been built some time prior, and archaeological excavations seem to place it at the second half of the 7th century, with the pagoda and main hall being completed in the late 7th century.   The temple continued to be maintained through the 8th century, but declined after the Heian period when the pagoda and lecture hall collapsed.  In the early 20th century a local Shinto shrine was relocated here, and remains, today. Hinokuma-dera was built as a private temple by the Yamato no Aya.  The Yamato no Aya are an intriguing group of people.  The name "Aya" implies a group that was originally employed as weavers, a technology brought over from the continent.  Indeed, they are said to have been largely immigrants who came and brought the technology with them.  The Aya were broken into different groups, with the Yamato no Aya being one of the more powerful.  The name appears again and again in the Chronicles, though in the time of Ohoama they were put on notice as a clan.  We aren't told what they did, exactly.  They seem to have made their way back into the court's good graces over time, however. Hinokuma-dera is interesting in that it is much smaller than the other temples we have discussed, and the form is quite different.  It isn't organized along cardinal directions, but rather with the koudou, or lecture hall, in the northwest and the kondou, or main hall, in the southeast.  The pagoda was between the two, slightly off-center to the northeast, directly across from the main gate, which faced southwest.  This means that you would enter from the southwest into a large, rectangular courtyard.  You could be facing a pagoda near the rear wall, with a lecture hall to your left and the main image hall to your right.  This is compared to Baekje temples that were on the periphery of the Baekje capital, and this may have been in a similar situation.  Based on the surrounding geography, it appears that some of the choices may have been made to conform with local geologic features, such as the ridge that it is on. It is interesting, however, for its uniqueness, especially as a private temple that did not have the resources of the court.  There were probably quite a few of these kinds of temples that we just don't see or hear about in the record.  When the court moved, first up to Heijo-kyo, but later on to Heian-kyo, in modern Kyoto, the head of the Yamato no Aya no doubt moved as well, and that probably led to the temple's decline, over time. Speaking of the court, there is one more part of the Asuka court that we should touch on before we leave the era of the Asuka palace.  At some point, probably related to the Later Okamoto Palace, the court created a pond and garden.  This Asuka Pond Garden site is first mentioned in 685, though it likely existed for some time.  Evidence suggests that it was built around the same time as the later Okamoto Palace, so sometime around 656, and based on excavations, we know that there was a south and north pond, divided by a middle bank.  Water flowed from the south pond to the north pond through a wooden pipe in that middle bank.  The south pond had a pentagonal shape, about 65 meters long, east to west, and 55 meters wide, north to south.  It was only 30 cm at its deepest point, with two islands in the pond itself.  The north pond was 36 meters east to west and 52 meters north to south, and it was up to 4 meters deep.  There was a stone overflow channel that was built for water to flow back into the Asuka river.  There was also a stone fountain, like that found at the Sakafuneishi site, and evidence of buildings and a wall around the site.  There has also been analysis of seed pollen, indicating what kinds of vegetation might have been grown in the garden. This was a lavish area that was purpose-built for entertainments of various kinds.  This is the area that the royal family and various nobles likely adjourned to at the end of the day for relaxation and for various banquets and other such gatherings. Of course, not all the court proceedings were so joyful.  In 686, Ohoama died, and for the next couple of years the court business was taken up with eulogies and memorials.  This is also when they built the next site included in the list: The mounded tomb of Temmu Tennou and, eventually, Jitou Tennou.  The tomb is an octagonal kofun, similar to the Kengoshizuka kofun for Takara Hime.  It is built to the southwest of the Asuka basin, a fair distance from the palace.  However, this positioning also puts it directly south of the site of the new Fujiwara Palace.  As the Fujiwara capital and palace site had already been selected, they would have been able to build this tomb in relation to the future palace, creating a direct north-south link between the two.  It is also along the same ridgeline as the tomb of Kengoshizuka and the tomb attributed to Kinmei Tennou and Princess Kibi no Himemiko. The octagonal tomb was built in five tiers.  It is about 42 meters on a side, built with rammed earth and then covered, originally, with dressed stones, while the surrounding area was paved.  Ohoama was buried in a sealed stone burial chamber in a dry-lacquered linen-made coffin, similar to what was found, again, at Kengoshizuka.  Later, when Uno no Sarara passed away, her urn was added to the tomb. Speaking of that, I cannot believe I didn't mention this in the last episode on Queen Uno no Sarara, but yes, she was cremated.  In fact, she is the first Yamato sovereign to have been cremated in the Buddhist style, rather than to have her body buried intact.  Today, almost cremation is the default in Japan—to the point that it actually has caused some issues with people who, for religious reasons, request a different type of burial.  However, at this point, it was still somewhat new.   Prior to Buddhism, all indications are that bodies were simply buried.  Buddhism brought in the concept of at least four different types of funerary rites.  There is dosou, or earth burial, but there was also suisou, water burial; fuusou, wind—or "air"—burial; and then kasou, fire burial.  Suisou would be committing a body to water, and fuusou generally means leaving the body on a stand, out in the open, to allow the body to decompose while birds, ideally vultures, come and do their work.  Of these, "kasou", fire burial or cremation, is linked to the historical Buddha, whose physical body is said to have been cremated, with the bones and teeth left behind considered holy relics.  That Uno no Sarara requested cremation would seem to indicate her own support of Buddhism and Buddhist institutions. The tomb of Temmu and Jitou has remained largely intact—at least compared to some that we have discussed this episode-- but not inviolate.  Over time, the site was allowed to become overgrown with trees and other vegetation.  In 1235 the tomb was robbed and in 1881 it was officially designated as an Imperial Mausoleum by the Imperial Household Agency, which now manages the site.  You can approach up to a point, but the tomb itself is largely off-limits to the public. Speaking of Uno no Sarara's support of Buddhism, we've already talked about her connections to Yakushi-ji, the next site on our list.  This temple was commissioned by Ohoama when his wife, Uno no Sarara, grew unexpectedly ill in 680.  She did recover, and the temple would eventually be considered one of the four National temples of the Yamato state.  It appears to have been built—possibly shifted slightly—specifically in line with the new avenues being laid out for Fujiwara-kyo, the new capital, and it fits neatly into place, taking up an entire city block.  When the capital moved, the temple was also moved.  The new temple sits up near modern Nara, in the area known as Nishi-no-kyou—the West (side of the) capital.  For the new site, the court may have used some of the materials from the original temple, though there does seem to have been a continued presence at the Fujiwara capital site until the 11th century.  To avoid confusion, the temple in the old Fujiwara capital site is referred to as "Moto-Yakushiji", meaning the Real or Original Yakushi Temple. Yakushiji was commissioned in 680, but work on the temple wasn't completed until 698, four years after the move to the new Fujiwara Palace.  Key features at this time were its size and its double pagodas, rather than just the single pagoda common in earlier temples.  This mimicked temple innovations happening on the continent, and was later adopted by several temples in the new capital of Heijo-kyo. Another national temple from around this time, also included in the nomination letter, is Daikandaiji.  Like Yakushiji, this temple was a grand statement of the Yamato state's ambitions.  Both were large temples that would have stood out, and as national temples they were symbols of state power and authority in matters both secular and spiritual. We discussed all of this in a previous episode, Episode 142, where we covered the four national temples, so I don't want to belabor it too much other than to give a brief overview.  In summary, what we know as Daikandaiji today is very likely the old Kudara Ohodera,  Kudara, in this instance, being spelled with the same kanji as for "Baekje".  Kudara Ohodera was the largest of the Asuka and Fujiwara era temples.  Its pagoda was over 80 meters tall, one of the tallest in Yamato at that time, and the main hall rivaled that of the Daigokuden, the main hall of the Fujiwara palace.   It also appears to have been moved twice.  First it was moved from its original location closer to the Asuka palace.  And then it appears to have been shifted to align with the avenues of the new Fujiwara capital.  The name was also changed.  "Kudara Ohodera" likely referred to the location where the temple was first founded by Tamura, aka Jomei Tennou.  It was then moved to Asuka and took on the name "Takechi Ohodera", given its new location, but then was renamed to Ohotsukasa no Ohodera, the Great Temple of the High Officials, or something like that.  This same name, read with the on'yomi reading, becomes "Daikandaiji". The temple was later moved to Heijo-kyo, where it was renamed to "Daianji", which means something like the Temple of Great Safety or Protection.   There is another story that says that the temple actually originated in the Kumagori dojo created by the legendary Shotoku Taishi, but, like so many such stories, that may have been added later to increase the temple's prestige.  As with so many of these temples, when the move was made to Heijo-kyo, the temple lost its national status, but remained active.  Without the upkeep by the court, it eventually declined, finally disappearing almost entirely.  Remains were rediscovered in the Edo and Meiji period, with major excavations in the 1970s and 80s.  From this, there is evidence of fire, even before construction was completed.  Indeed, there is a record of fire in 711.  The temple was likely under construction for much of the period of the Fujiwara capital's existence. This is probably as good a point as any to talk about the Fujiwara Palace itself.  I would note that the World Heritage site designation only includes the palace site, and not the entire capital city of Fujiwara-kyo.  That is probably for the best, as findings have suggested that the ancient capital was built on a plan far grander that previously thought. Initially, it was believed that the Fujiwara capital was built similar to Heijo-kyo and Heian-kyo, which is to say that it was modeled after the Tang capital of Chang'an.  This model creates a rectangular city with the main palace complex at the far north of the city.  Lower classes are typically housed in the southern regions while upper classes and nobility are provided land in the northern areas of the city.  Part of the reason to believe that the city was laid out like this has to do with the three mountains:  Mt. Unebi, Mt. Miminashi, and Mt. Kagu.  If the palace were located at the northern end of the city, then the city would fit rather nicely in the plains between these three mountains.  However, it appears that the plans for Fujiwara-kyo were much grander, and it appears that the Fujiwara palace sat not at the northern top of the capital, but instead it was in the middle.  This more closely approximates the ideal Confucian model, which created a square city divided into nine districts with the palace in the center.  However, it also means that the city grid is interrupted by the mountains, particularly by Mt. Miminashi, in the north.  To cover all of that land would be untenable, and much of it has been built up or under cultivation for centuries.  Furthermore, it is unclear how built up Fujiwara-kyo ever was.  Imagine trying to just create a city from scratch.  Not only was it about building the temples and the palace, but about all of the other houses, which would have been organized by the individual owners.  One also has to wonder just how many workers there were, and materials, to do all of this.  If much of this was done as traditional wooden buildings, then many of the blocks may not have left any significant remains, though new construction in the area does perform exploratory archaeology just in case.  There are a lot of interesting features that have been found. However, let's focus just on the Fujiwara Palace.  As I've previously pointed out—just back in Episode 152, for example, the Fujiwara Palace was, in many ways, getting back to the type of palace that the Toyosaki Naniwa Palace had tried to be.  This was a massive State complex.  The overall property appears to have been a square, with nine gates—once again, mimicking the geometric perfection suggested in ancient sources.  That wall, which was defined by post-holes in the ground, was also surrounded by a moat.  The south central gate was known as the Suzaku-mon, or Suzaku gate, named for Suzaku, the crimson bird of the south.  This was at the north end of Suzaku Oji, or Suzaku Avenue, the central road of the Fujiwara capital. This road was 24 meters wide, with 4 meter ditches on either side.  The ditches would have carried water throughout the city, while also allowing the city to drain water during large rains.  From the Suzaku gate to the north the palace opened up to the first courtyard, with two building where officials could prepare for the day.  Originally this would have been the place for officials to change into their formal robes, though later they were commanded to show up to work already dressed.  From there, once it opened, they would pass through another gate into the Choudouin, or State Hall.  Here, the 8 bureaus, or ministries, each had a Choudou, or court hall, where they would perform their work.  There were also four other halls for other governmental work. Besides the southern gate, there were gates on the east and west, which led to further government offices to the west and east of the court.  A fourth gate, at the north end of the Choudouin enclosure, would lead to the Daigokuden, the Great Audience Hall.  This was part of a reduced enclosure.  Two buildings have been discovered to the east and west of the enclosure, and north of the enclosure would have led to the private quarters of the sovereign and their family. The government buildings are more obvious than some others—many of the buildings were built in the continental style, meaning with stone footings, leaving a lot of evidence of their existence.  Meanwhile, the buildings of the sovereign's private residence were likely still in the indigenous style—plain wood with posts sunk directly into the ground, and thatched roof.  That would all leave a lot fewer traces, not to say that they haven't ever found anything. Today, the Fujiwara Palace site is a large open area where many of the features that have been found are indicated with modern crimson colored pillars, demonstrating where the various pillars were found.  At the same time, any above-ground reconstructions would have be conjectural, as we don't have enough remaining to know exactly what the palace looked like beyond the pillar locations. This palace and the city was ambitious.  It was huge and clearly meant as a permanent capital.  The fact that it was only occupied until about 710, when the capital moved north, to Heijou-kyou, is something we'll talk about in a later episode.  But still, it was absolutely an incredible move.  Think of how much labor this took and what kind of costs were involved?  This was truly a flex of the state's ability to mobilize labor to be able to do all of this, and generally marks the moment where the Yamato government really came into its own.  It also marks the period where the name "Yamato" is thought to have been officially changed to refer to "Nihon", the "Origin of the Sun", the name by which Japan would be known ever since.  It really is a symbol of Japan's changing state. There are only three more monuments included in the World Heritage Site designation, and they are all tombs. The first is Nakaoyama Kofun.  This is another octagonal kofun, approximately 19.5 meters from one side to the other.  It is only three tiers, as opposed to the five tiers of the tomb of Temmu and Jitou, and similarly covered in stone and surrounded by stone pavement.  The sealed burial chamber is narrow—designed for an urn rather than for a full-body coffin.  This is the first such mound clearly built to accommodate Buddhist style cremation, rather than a coffin.  While the keyhole shaped kofun had stopped being utilized for some time, this appears to put the final seal on the coffin, as it were, of the kofun building period, which had started back in the mid-3rd century.  Certainly, royal tombs continued to be built in the form of mountains, but they would stop having the same kind of artificial mound. It is unclear who was buried in the mound.  It was plundered around the 13th century, and there was considerable damage noted in the Edo period.  However, given Kengoshizuka Kofun and the kofun of Temmu and Jitou Tennou, it seems hard to deny the general consensus that this is the tomb of none other than Karu—that is to say Monmu Tennou.  However, as with Kengoshizuka Kofun, the Imperial Household Agency has named a different kofun, that of Kurihara-tsuka'ana Kofun, slightly to the south of Nakaoyama.  I would note that while this is an octagonal kofun, similar to the others we have seen, the Kurihara kofun, aka the Hinokuma Anko Misasagi, is a round kofun, which, in the consideration of modern scholarship, is not generally thought to have been a shape used for a royal tomb. There are two other tombs on the world heritage list that are round tombs, however—though they are not thought to have been royal tombs.  These are the Takamatsuzuka and Kitora kofun, and both of them have incredible features that are considered of particular importance to the indication of the development of the state.  This is because in both tombs elaborate tomb mural paintings were discovered. The murals of the Kitora kofun are perhaps the simpler between the two.  The Kitora murals have the four directional guardians on the walls of the tomb.  Again, we talked about this back in episode 127.  It was the idea that there was a directional guardian for each of the four cardinal directions.  This includes Genbu, the black tortoise of the north; Byakkou, the White Tiger of the West; Seiryuu, the Blue (or green) Dragon of the East; and Suzaku, the Red Bird of the South.  These descriptions were heavily tied in with various continental ideas of what would be known as "feng shui", including different ideas of color, direction, and concepts of yin and yang.  The Kitora kofun clearly shows these four guardians.  Based on the style of the tomb and the paintings, it is assumed that this tomb was built in the very beginning of the 8th century.  Combined with tomb goods found, while we don't know who was buried there it is very likely that it was either a royal prince or high ranking noble.  It has been suggested that this could have been the tomb for the Minister of the Right, others have suggested that it could be Royal Prince Takechi, who died in the late 7th century, or possibly even a high ranking member of the Baekje nobility living in the archipelago since the fall of their country, given some of the continental features of the tomb and its murals. In addition to the spectacular directional guardians, on the ceiling of Kitora Kofun is a depiction of the stars.  This star chart has been the focus of considerable study, as it depicts the stars in the sky as they might have been seen from the ground.  Though there are some errors, it is remarkably accurate, and it has been heralded as the oldest such star chart in the world.  There are earlier depictions of the sky, like the Nebra Sky Disc, from modern Nebra, in Germany, which dates to about 1800-1600 BCE, but those are more like an astronomical rule, rather than a chart.  It is also interesting that the positions of the stars don't exactly correspond with the sky over the Fujiwara capital: instead, it seems that the latitude better fits with the capital of Pyongyang in Goguryeo.  This opens up lots of intriguing possibilities about how this star chart came to be, and who created it.  It may be that some of the errors we see in the star positions come from taking a star chart possibly from the Tang court, and then localizing it to the Goguryeo capital in Pyongyang.  That chart then appears to have made its way to Japan where it was used in the Kitora kofun.  That means that the artist  wasn't necessarily directly looking at the sky at the time, but rather looking at a depiction, probably drawn on paper which has since been lost.  All of this points to the availability of, and importance placed on, astronomical information at the time.  In the Takamatsuzuka Kofun we similarly have directional animals, although in that case Suzaku, in the south, has been lost.  There is also a depiction of the stars, though it is more based on the zodiac, with constellations depicted in the various "houses" of the sky, rather than a true chart of the sky.  Most significantly in this tomb, however, are depictions of courtiers – groups of male and female attendance - in what appears to be court clothing, and indeed this is the best depiction we have of what court clothing may have looked like at this time.  It very much is in keeping with the clothing we see on the continent.  It is possible that the clothing depicted is not actually what was in use in the court, but possibly clothing from the continent as it was depicted in drawings and the like.   However, the style of clothing does seem to match the continental style clothing we see later in the Nara period, and so it does seem to be our best source for the clothing of the time barring us finding actual garments or further depictions. Both of these tombs are stunning, and have greatly increased our knowledge of the world of the court of 8th century Japan.  However, they are also both extremely fragile and in need of conservation.  Since being opened, humidity levels in the tombs have risen, which has led to the deterioration of the paintings themselves.  Japanese historians and conservators have gone to great lengths to preserve what they could before any more was lost, and there are depictions of what they looked like when they were originally found.  One of the goals of the World Heritage determination appears to be the conservation of these incredible paintings for future generations to be able to see. And there you have it.  Those are the sites  that were recently listed together on the UNESCO World Heritage list as the Ancient Capitals of Asuka and Fujiwara.  I hope that everyone gets a chance to go see them in person some day—it really is a beautiful and rather bucolic area with history strewn all about.  It isn't difficult to walk most of it, either, though to see everything you probably want at least a couple of days, not including various museums and other institutions.  And, of course, the rest of the Nara basin is full of even more treasures, such as Horyuji temple, the Makimuku Palace site, Mt. Miwa, and then the ancient capital of Nara, just to name a few. But that will have to be for another day.  For now, I think I've gone on long enough.  This has been a bit longer than most episodes, so I hope that you enjoyed it.  We'll be back with our regularly scheduled episodes in a couple of weeks.

Hoy, en nuestro penúltimo episodio, viajamos en el tiempo, pero esta vez no para explorar la prehistoria, sino para recorrer el largo camino que ha llevado a Menorca talayótica a ser reconocida por la UNESCO como Patrimonio Mundial. Un viaje que no solo ha sido arqueológico, sino también diplomático, cultural y social.El trayecto comenzó hace más de 14 años, en 2009, cuando el Institut Menorquí d'Estudis propuso por primera vez que Menorca talayótica fuese reconocida como Patrimonio Mundial. Al año siguiente, el Pleno del Consell Insular aprobaba por unanimidad iniciar los trámites para conseguir la declaración, y poco después se iniciaba la redacción del expediente. El hecho de que la iniciativa se aprobara con el apoyo de todos los grupos políticos fue clave para conseguir mantener el interés por el proyecto, pese a los sucesivos relevos ocurridos en el Consell a lo largo de la candidatura.Los primeros pasos fueron lentos, centrados en la recopilación de datos sobre los yacimientos. Se trataba de crear un dosier sólido que convenciera a los evaluadores de ICOMOS de la conveniencia de inscribir a la Menorca Talayótica en la lista de Patrimonio Mundial.Pero ese esfuerzo no fue solo de las instituciones. Muchos sectores de la sociedad menorquina se implicaron en el proyecto, conscientes de la importancia de proteger y promover su patrimonio. Se organizaron eventos, exposiciones y visitas guiadas para sensibilizar a la población local y turistas, por igual, sobre la relevancia de este patrimonio único.El trabajo no se empezó desde cero: Menorca cuenta con una larga tradición de estudio de la prehistoria, que puede remontarse hasta el pionero trabajo de Joan Ramis i Ramis, de 1818, titulado “Antigüedades célticas de la isla de Menorca”. Las diversas excavaciones realizadas durante las últimas décadas del siglo XX, que se multiplicaron en número a principios del siglo XXI, proporcionaron una enorme cantidad de datos con los que construir un expediente que recibió la aprobación de los técnicos del Ministerio de Cultura.

Navegaremos por esta cultura Talayótica llena de construcciones megaliticas e hipogeos. José Luis López y Santiago Reures son investigadores y conocedores de sus enigmas y misterios. La isla dispone de un patrimonio arqueológico lleno de casas circulares, navetas funerarias o de entierro, cuevas y otras construcciones donde se almacenaban alimentos o se realizaban ritos religiosos. El reciente dictamen del ICOMOS favorece su inclusión en la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial. Último programa de la temporada en Radio Caldes y la semana que viene lo tendremos en radio Granollers.

A műemlékvédelem legnagyobb nemzetközi civil szervezetének díját kapta a székesfehérvári székesegyház belső felújítása. A 2023-as ICOMOS-díjat Spányi Antal székesfehérvári püspök és Smohay András művészettörténész, múzeumigazgató, illetve a restaurálási munkálatokat irányító szakemberek vehették át. Mai adásunk második felében folytatjuk pünkösdi készületünket. A Szentlélek Isten kiáradása az apostolokra nem pusztán egyetlen fontos momentum volt, amely őket megerősítette, hanem tartós kegyelemforrás is. Képessé tette őket arra, hogy továbblépjenek és belső értékeiket kibontakoztassák a nemzetek javára. Szász Zoltán fehérvári református lelkészt arról kérdezzük, pünkösdkor miért mehetett ilyen döbbenetes változáson keresztül az apostolok élete. | Szerkesztő: Bertáné Pintér Katalin

Il est certes docteur en biotechnologie, mais c'est avant tout l'art qui l'intéresse. Le Camerounais, commissaire d'exposition et désormais directeur de la Maison des cultures du monde à Berlin s'est confié au micro de Dirke Köpp ; notamment sur la question de la restitution des œuvres d'art spoliées. En fin d'émission extrait du dernier album de Djeli. Mais d'abord nous parlons de patrimoine...

ICOMOS är ett internationellt expertnätverk för aktiva inom kulturarvssektorn vars övergripande syfte är att främja vård, bevarande och förmedling av det materiella och immateriella kulturarvet, såväl nationellt som internationellt. Jag träffar Ulrika Mebus för att tala om detta nätverk och dess arbete. Vi pratar bland annat om kulturarvets vikt i kriget i Ukraina.

„ICOMOS nimmt Aufgaben als Berater-Organisation der UNESCO gemäß der Welterbekonvention von 1972 wahr. Das Deutsche Nationalkomitee von ICOMOS setzt sich auf überregionaler und internationaler Ebene für die Erhaltung von Denkmälern, Ensembles und Kulturlandschaften ein.“, so kann jede und jeder Interessierte auf der offiziellen Webseite der internationalen Organisation nachlesen. Der Erhalt von Bestehendem, das unsere Kulturen widerspiegelt, ist heute sicher mehr gefragt, denn jemals zuvor. Denkt man. Stimmt das auch? Über die Organisation, ihre Aufgaben und Ziele sprechen wir mit dem Präsidenten von ICOMOS Deutschland, dem promovierten Architekturhistoriker Dr. Tino Mager und mit Frank Pieter Hesse, Architekt und Stadtplaner und u. a. Sprecher der Monitoring-Gruppe von ICOMOS Deutsches Nationalkomitee.

Адукацыя ў галіне спадчыны - праблемная тэма ў Беларусі, бо адсутнічаюць інстуцыянльныя адзінкі, якія гэтым займаюцца. Усё трымаецца на ўласных інцыятывах, а арганізацыі, што маюць дачыненне да спадчыны, прымусова закрываюць.

Lo primero que debe hacer el Ayuntamiento es conseguir el apoyo de todas las instituciones posibles y el consenso de las diferentes sensibilidades políticas para que todos empujen en el mismo sentido. También hay que decidir si Cartagena se presenta como ciudad o dentro de un proyecto con otras ciudades portuarias.

This week's episode features a conversation with Lori Ferriss of Goody Clancy.  We discuss the need for existing and historic buildings to be part of the climate action conversation as well as numerous organizations that are working toward that goal.  Lori and I are two of the four chairs for the ZNCC and we talk about a number of overlaps between all the organizations.  This is a fun and informative one which will provide more information on the intersection of preservation and sustainability. Links:Zero Net Carbon Collaboration (ZNCC)Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF)Passive House Accelerator (PHA)Carbon Avoided Retrofit Estimator (CARE) (formerly 'To Build or Not to Build' Calculator)UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP) 26Climate Heritage Network (CHN)Association for Preservation Technology International (APTI)APT's Sustainable Preservation Technical Committee (TC-SP)US/ICOMOSThe New Net Zero (Embodied Carbon vs. Operational Carbon) by Lori FerrissPreservation Greenlab report: "The Greenest Building: Quantifying the Environmental Value of Building Reuse"Tangible Remnants on InstagramTangible Remnants on FacebookTangible Remnants WebsiteBuilding Highlight: Maggie Walker House in Richmond, VA Bio:  Lori Ferriss, AIA, PE, LEED AP BD+C is a leader in sustainable stewardship for the built environment.

Dördüncü Dünya Birleşmiş Kentler ve Yerel Yönetimler Teşkilatı UCLG Kültür Zirvesi, İzmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi ev sahipliğinde 9-11 Eylül 2021 tarihlerinde İzmir'de düzenlendi. UCLG dünyanın her yerinden, 140 ülkeden, 175 yerel ve bölgesel yönetim teşkilatının üyeliğine sahip; bu yerel yönetim kurumlarında temsil edilen dünyanın nüfusunun %70'ine denk düşen 5 milyar kişi anlamına geliyor. UCLG Komitelerinden birisi olan Kültür Komitesi, insan haklarına dayalı, kültürel çeşitlilik, sürdürülebilirlik, katılımcı demokrasi ve barış içinde yaşam ilkelerinin temel alındığı, kültürün sürdürülebilir kalkınmadaki rolünün etkin kılındığı bir gündem etrafında yerel yönetimleri bir araya getiriyor. İzmir Kültür Zirvesi'nin odağı kültürün geleceğimizi kurarken üstleneceği rol üzerineydi. Zirvenin ardından Kültür İnsanlığın Geleceğini Kuruyor başlıklı İzmir Deklarasyonu yayınlandı. Deklarasyon, tüm yerel yönetimlerin ve kültürel aktörlerin insan hakları, adalet, toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği ve iklim değişikliği konularını gündeme getirme konusunda daha cesur ve daha net taahhütlerle ileri adımlar atmaları gerektiğini vurguluyor. Açık Radyo programımız için İzmir Kültür Zirvesi konuşmacıları arasında yer alan Andrew Potts ile bir görüşme yaptık. Andrew Potts Uluslararası Anıtlar ve Sitler Konseyi (ICOMOS)'un 2017 yılında genel kurul kararı ile kurulmuş olan İklim Değişikliği ve Miras Çalışma Grubu'nun koordinatörü idi ve 2019 yılında ICOMOS'un yayınladığı “Geçmişlerimizin Geleceği: İklim Eylemliliğine Kültürel Mirası Dahil Etmek” başlıklı raporun yazarı. Kendisi ile, kültür mirası ve iklim krizi eylemliliği ilişkisini konuştuk.

Comenzamos con la sección “Pensar y Sentir” conducida por Leonardo Daimiel Pérez de Madrid quien nos invita a reflexionar sobre Santa Mónica, madre de San Agustín. A continuación, entrevistamos a José María García de Miguel, director emérito de la Cátedra Unesco-ICOMOS de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid y antiguo subdirector de itinerarios culturales de ICOMOS España. ICOMOS tiene como misión velar por el patrimonio natural y cultural. Obviamente, con él hemos hablado de este interesantísimo asunto. Como siempre, Luis Antequera nos ha acercado las efemérides del día en su sección “Hoy no es un día cualquiera”.

Die Buddha-Statuen im afghanischen Bamiyan, das antike Palmyra in Syrien oder die Altstadt von Sana’a gehören zum Kulturerbe der Menschheit. Doch das hat sie nicht vor der Zerstörung durch militante Gruppen geschützt. Ein Gespräch über Hoffnung, Wiederaufbau und die Digitalisierung alter Fotos. Gross war der Aufschrei der internationalen Gemeinschaft, als 2001 die Buddha-Statuen im afghanischen Bamiyan von Taliban-Kämpfern zerstört wurden. Die Statuen stammten aus dem 6. Jahrhundert und waren Teil des Weltkulturerbes. Weltweit gibt es über 1100 Stätten, die Kraft ihrer Definition der gesamten Menschheit gehören und deshalb besonderen Schutz geniessen. Doch wenn Kriege und Konflikte ausbrechen, werden die internationalen Konventionen zum Schutz der Kulturgüter oft mit Füssen getreten. Und Kunstwerke manchmal sogar absichtlich zerstört. Zahlreiche staatliche und nicht-staatliche Organisationen wie die Unesco, Icomos oder neu auch Aliph kümmern sich um den Schutz des Kulturerbes der Menschheit. Yves Bossart spricht mit Valéry Freland, dem Direktor der Stiftung Aliph mit Sitz in Genf, über das Prinzip des «safe haven», die Digitalisierung vergilbter Fotos, und warum man Menschen schützt, wenn man sich um Kulturgüter kümmert.

Desde El Café de la Lluvia nos hacemos eco del patrimonio en peligro. En esta ocasión nos detenemos en San Pedro de Rocas, un lugar único en la Ribeira Sacra (Orense). La Diputación de Orense quiere ampliar una carretera y eso supondrá la tala de más de 80 árboles y la pérdida de parte del patrimonio natural y arqueológico del lugar. Algo que carece de sentido ya que estamos hablando de un espacio protegido (BIC) y una de las puntas de la UNESCO para que la propia Ribeira Sacra sea Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Para saber más sobre el lugar, su riqueza y la última hora, conversamos con Natalia Figueiras Pimentel, conservadora y miembro de ICOMOS. En el segundo tramo del programa hablamos con Jesús de Blas Ortega, doctor en Ciencias Económicas y profesor de Secundaria de Geografía e Historia. Nuestro invitado nos habla sobre algunos mitos del franquismo que ahora se proyectan en una lista en la red de mensajería Whatsapp. Este tipo de "mitos" pretenden configurar en en el receptor del mensaje una idea errónea y alejada de la realidad histórica. Esta intervención viene dada por la aparición de una nueva sección en la revista Descubrir la Historia que responde al nombre de Pseudohistoria. ¿Realmente solo hubo tres casos de corrupción en la España de Franco (Sofico, Matesa y Redondela)? ¿ Cuál era el poder adquisitivo real de los españoles? ¿ Qué nivel de desempleo existía? ¿Cómo se articulaba la industria? ¿Qué papel jugó la autarquía en el desarrollo? ¿Cómo influyó el desarrollismo? ¿Quién lo impulsó realmente? Sobre esto y otras cuestiones hablamos con Jesús de Blas Ortega. Lo importante es tener una visión panorámica del pasado para poder realizar un análisis riguroso de la Historia. Se trate de la España en tiempos de Franco o de otro cualquier periodo histórico. Orden de intervenciones Editorial:4'18. San Pedro de Cercas en peligro:11'38.   Mitos del franquismo: 34'25.  ¡Te necesitamos!

In Episode 14 des ‘‘Der Conversion-Hacker Podcast'' erklärt Jörg Dennis Krüger, dass es im Online-Marketing und E-Commerce nicht darum geht, was man macht, welche Tools man einsetzt und welche Methoden man wählt, sondern darum, wie man es macht, um wirklich zu den richtigen Ergebnissen zu kommen. TRANSKRIPTION DIESER FOLGE DES PODCASTS Schönen guten Tag, mein Name ist Jörg Dennis Krüger und wie mein Powerpoint-Spezialist am Empfang gerade gesagt hat, Ja ich bin der Conversion Hacker in Klammern eingetragene Marke Klammer zu. Und ich muss diese Ausgabe des Conversion Hacker Podcasts mit einer kleinen Entschuldigung, starten denn wie lange habe ich keinen Podcast veröffentlicht? Sieben acht Monate? Incredible. Ich habe so viele Aufrufe auf den ersten Podcasts im letzten Jahr gehabt aber ich habe dann so viele andere Themen im Kopf gehabt dass ich einfach gesagt habe Ich muss mal ein bisschen Pause machen ja Corona war vielleicht auch eines der Themen. Alle sagen Oh mein Gott Corona hat so negativen Einfluss aufs Business Ich habe gar Ich habe so viel Zeit. Ich weiß gar nicht was ich machen soll. Wobei ich sagen muss dass, hat Corona doch an manchen Punkten richtig reingehauen. Ich habe Kunden da hat sich während Corona auch vielleicht durch meine unsere Hilfe der Umsatz verpaart doppelt dreifache Vierfachen. Weil einfach Menschen gelernt haben dass Online-Shopping ja doch ganz cooles und ich bin auch sehr sicher dass das insgesamt dem E-Commerce dem Online-Shopping, einen ganzen Push nach vorne gegeben hat nicht nur in Nischen die bisher eher schwierig gelaufen sind also z.B.Lebensmittel sondern auch in allen Bereichen weil man gemerkt hat ein Mensch das funktioniert ja einfach richtig gut und ich persönlich wenn ich wieder bei Lebensmittel bleibe ich bestelle mittlerweile fast alle meine Lebensmittel online. Ich habe am Anfang von Corona angefangen bei Rewe zu bestellen und bei Gentner. Und jetzt mache ich das weiter. Es funktioniert einfach Ich wohne leider in einer Stadt wo es keine Flaschenpost oder wie heißt der Wettbewerber. Ich weiß es gerade nicht gibt dass ich also meine Getränke auch bei Rewe oder so bestellen muss damit ich sie nicht in den dritten Stock tragen muss. Sodass ich dann wirklich hier auch mit ein zwei Anbietern sehr gut connected bin und alles bekomme was ich brauche. Während Corona und auch nach Corona und E-Commerce Es wird immer schneller. Wir sehen Kaufhof ist noch einmal richtig zusammengebrochen weil sie Kummers einfach überhaupt nicht im Griff haben. Ich habe vor einiger Zeit bei Karstadt Kaufhof vorgesprochen und hab ein Konzept gezeigt wie wir E-Commerce besser machen könnten. Haben Sie am Ende nicht machen wollen und nun ja großes Team und viel Bürokratie und was weiß ich. Und man sieht wo es hinführt die Läden werden überhaupt nicht genutzt Es war eine super Chance aus den Läden heraus Icomos zu machen oder wenigstens zu verknüpfen oder was weiß ich. Aber nein Jetzt schließen wir die Läden in a Lage und online ist Kaufhof einfach vollkommen irrelevant oder Galeria oder dieses ganze Marken FA-Cup kommt ja noch dazu. Und Mein Thema heute ist irgendwie auch relativ eng damit verknüpft und ich möchte es. Machen wir doch schon nennen denn das ist die Haupts Antwort die ich bekomme wenn ich Online-Shops sage was sie besser machen können komme ich und sage Hey ihr Führt eure Nutzer nicht richtig die Ansprache der Nutzer passt nicht die Produkte erkennt man nicht. Da fehlt irgendwie Text und so weiter. Nun wird immer gesagt Nee Nee Nee das machen wir doch schon alles. Wir haben das alles optimiert. Wir haben da die Texte drauf gemacht und so das läuft das machen wir doch schon das kann nicht das sein wo das Problem ist. Oder wenn ich über Tracking Rede. Nee wir haben Google Analytics alles eingerichtet das machen wir doch schon. Das funktioniert alles okay. Dann frage ich mich natürlich formulieren manchmal nicht beantworten kann ich viel Umsatz ge...

Por ello, ICOMOS ofrece un tema para las celebraciones y actividades organizadas por Comités, miembros y socios. Hoy más que nunca, el tema de las "Culturas compartidas, patrimonio compartido, empoderamiento compartido" es esencial como una expresión de nuestra unidad global frente a la actual crisis de salud.

Na začetku predstavljamo izplen naše raziskave o možnostih dejanskega izplačila temeljnega dohodka v predlaganih vladnih ukrepih za približno 3 tisoč samozaposlenih v kulturi. S prve roke boste slišali, kako bo z zagonom spletne platforme slovenski ICOMOS obeležil "mednarodni dan spomenikov in spomeniških območij". Na ZRC SAZU so pravkar zagnali „Vsakdanjik“, spletni dnevnik spominov na epidemijo, skupina fotografov pa na ljubljanski Trubarjevi cesti v projektu "fotogank" na zidove hiš projicira lastne stvaritve. Ljubljanska Drama je za ranljive skupine ponudila novo spletno ponudbo v okviru "Drama bere", vodja Javnega sklada RS za kulturne dejavnosti pa bo povzel prilagoditve dejavnosti v tem obdobju. Pred koncem pa še o novem ciklu literarnih oddaj na našem programu „Dekameron C19“. besedilo fotke: Pot do nadomestila za samozaposlene v kulturi bo za mnoge težka vir: Bobo (rtvslo.si)

Samkvæmt gildandi lögum hefði aldrei átt að veita leyfi til hótelbyggingar við Landsímahúsið við Austurvöll. Vitað var að þarna var Víkurkirkjugarður og lögum samkvæmt er bannað að byggja ofan á kirkjugarð. Þetta segir Hjörleifur Stefánsson arkítekt, en hann er einn fyrirlesara á málþingi um verndun menningarminja í þéttbýli sem haldið verður í Norræna húsinu í dag. Hjörleifur og Guðný Gerður Gunnarsdóttir, formaður Íslandsdeildar ICOMOS voru gestir Morgunvaktarinnar. Þar verður m.a. velt upp spurningum á borð við hvernig fornleifarannsóknir í miðborg Reykjavíkur hafa aukið skilning og þekkingu manna í upphafi byggðar í landinu og hvernig menn fara að því með góðu móti stunda fornleifarannsóknir í ysi og þysi miðborgar. Það er ekkert útlit fyrir að stjórnarkreppan í Ísrael sé að leysast eftir þingkosningar þar í landi í gær. Tveir stærstu flokkar landsins eru hnífjafnir og hvorki hægri né vinstri blokkin virðast geta myndað meirihlutastjórn. Þetta er í annað sinn sem kosið er í Ísrael á þessu ári. Vera Illugadóttir fjallaði um ísraelsk stjórnmál á Morgunvaktinni. Það á að banna rafrettur - með bragði, öðru en tóbaksbragði - í New York ríki. Það er gert til að bregðast við dauðsföllum og faraldri lungnasjúkdóma í Bandaríkjunum. Þar með er New York annað ríkið til að leggja á slíkt bann en útlit er fyrir að rafrettur með bragði verði bannaðar um allt landið eftir að bandarísku forsetahjónin, Donald og Melania Trump, kynntu nýlega áform þar um. Markmiðið er að draga úr notkun ungmenna á rafsígarettunum. Freyr Eyjólfsson sagði frá þessu í spjalli sínu frá Bandaríkjunum. Fyrirsjáanlegur skortur er á iðnmenntuðu fólki í Eyjafirði og Þingeyjarsýslum, samkvæmt athugun sem gerð var meðal forsvarsmanna fyrirtækja á svæðinu. Í skýrslu um efnið kemur fram að iðngreinar berjast við ímyndarvanda og að auka þurfi vægi verknáms í grunnskóla. Úlla Árdal, fréttamaður á Akureyri, ræddi málið við Arnar Þór Jóhannesson, hjá Rannsóknamiðstöð Háskólans á Akureyri og Baldvin Ringsted, sviðsstjóra verk- og fjarnáms í Verkmenntaskólanum á Akureyri.

Þar með er New York annað ríkið til að leggja á slíkt bann en útlit er fyrir að rafrettur með bragði verði bannaðar um allt landið eftir að bandarísku forsetahjónin, Donald og Melania Trump, kynntu nýlega áform þar um. Markmiðið er að draga úr notkun ungmenna á rafsígarettunum. Freyr Eyjólfsson sagði frá þessu í spjalli sínu frá Bandaríkjunum. Fyrirsjáanlegur skortur er á iðnmenntuðu fólki í Eyjafirði og Þingeyjarsýslum, samkvæmt athugun sem gerð var meðal forsvarsmanna fyrirtækja á svæðinu. Í skýrslu um efnið kemur fram að iðngreinar berjast við ímyndarvanda og að auka þurfi vægi verknáms í grunnskóla. Úlla Árdal, fréttamaður á Akureyri, ræddi málið við Arnar Þór Jóhannesson, hjá Rannsóknamiðstöð Háskólans á Akureyri og Baldvin Ringsted, sviðsstjóra verk- og fjarnáms í Verkmenntaskólanum á Akureyri. Tónlist: Trubbel - Monica Zetterlund You can´t make old friends - Kenny Rogers og Dolly Parton

Dr Rouhani outlines AMAL’s development of a mobile app: designed to assist and provide tools for risk planning and emergency management and to help professionals and local communities if experts are not available. AMAL in Heritage is a programme for managing disaster and conflict risks for cultural heritage in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Launched by Global Heritage Fund (GHF) and its international partners, AMAL in Heritage responds to the need for a comprehensive programme of cultural emergency management. The increasing number of disasters and conflicts and also the scale of damage to and destruction of heritage places and antiquities in this region have necessitated the use of all possible and latest methods and technologies for reducing risks, managing emergency situation, and recovery. There is a need for a sustainable, cost-effective, and comprehensive platform and toolkit to equip cultural heritage practitioners and volunteers on the ground with the tools, training, and capacity they need to prepare for disasters before they come; respond to them when they arrive; and begin recovering from them after the smoke has cleared. AMAL in Heritage develops plans, tools, and training materials for risk preparedness, emergency response, and recovery of movable and immovable cultural heritage. AMAL in Heritage is supported by a mobile and web application to offer management, data recording, and mapping tools and to deliver technical and training support to local heritage professionals in the region. A survey carried out by GHF for AMAL in Heritage shows that although the use of new online technologies and applications for preparedness, emergency response, and recovery has become a trend in many sectors, including humanitarian, cultural heritage sector has not received enough advantage from this possibility yet. Rapid Damage Assessment is the first element of AMAL’s mobile application that has been developed by AMAL in Heritage partners. This component was considered the most important initial step because a timely response to disaster can reduce the degree and extent of damage and prevent the permanent loss of cultural heritage. The objective of a rapid damage assessment is to identify the extent and impact of the damage caused by the disaster and to identify priorities for intervention. To fill the gap created by the absence of international assistance, Global Heritage Fund is partnering with the Prince Claus Fund, the Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH), the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), and the International Scientific Committee on Risk Preparedness of ICOMOS (ICOMOS-ICORP) to launch the ‘AMAL in Heritage’ programme.
