The World Heritage Committee named 27 new sites to UNESCO's World Heritage List. Two sites in Ukraine were named to its 'in danger' list.
Located 250 meters below sea levels, Tell es-Sultan contains evidence of religious funeral practices, which included "plastering and decorating skulls of the deceased," according to a nomination document related to its UNESCO inscription.The West Bank site — thought to be one of the oldest fortified cities in the world — dates to the 9th millennium B.C. and is marked by an oval-shaped tell, or mound, near the modern city of Jericho.
But Mounir Anastas, permanent delegate of Palestine to UNESCO, stated that Jericho marks the fifth site in the territory named to the list, the most important from a historical and religious perspective being the Old City of Jerusalem, according to an announcement on Sunday by the Saudi Press Agency.
The Old City of Jerusalem and its walls were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981, butWhereas other sites are listed by country, UNESCO lists the site separately, under "Jerusalem ."Source: Screenshot from UNESCO
