Not so fun fact : the guy in the photo would go on to die some years later. đ˘
Good caption to put on every photo ever.
And thatâs before they cut up and moved and reassembled the entire thing as it was going to be under water
That's actually how World Hertitage designation started. After they moved the Nubian monuments to the new location, UNESCO figured out, we should have a list of the most important monuments the World should save wathever it takes, they named them World Heritage Sites. And that is the reason natural things were not allowed to get that designation for a long time, originally it wasn't its goal.
