Transporting Ancient Pharaoh Rameses Statue Across Egypt | Huge Moves | Spark
This week on Huge Moves S3 - In a special edition, we mark the 40th Anniversary of the greatest structural move ever undertaken. We reveal how twenty of Egypt’s finest ancient temples were relocated from the rising waters of the River Nile in the 1960s. We recount how engineers cut up the twin temples of Abu Simbel into over 1,000 blocks to dismantle, move and re-assemble them piece by piece to safety on higher ground. We show how divers dismantled monuments flooded underwater on the Island of Philae and recount how the 900-ton temple of Amada was moved two miles on rail tracks across the desert. To illustrate the techniques used to relocate the temples, a modern-day team of movers led by America’s leading structural movers Jerry and Gabe Matyiko attempt to cut, lift and re-assemble a repl...

Why many World Heritage sites are at risk | The Economist
UNESCO's World Heritage site designation aims to protect the world's most valuable natural and cultural treasures. But often, that designation is not enough.
Click here to subscribe to The Economist on YouTube: http://econ.trib.al/rWl91R7
In 2016, the archaeological site of Philippi in Greece was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It was one of 21 such sites that made the grade last year.
The World Heritage Convention was adopted in 1972 with the aim of protecting the world's most valuable natural and cultural treasures. One of the first World Heritage sites was the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.
Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage sites with 51 followed by China, Spain, France, Germany, and Mexico. There are now a total of 1052 World Heritage sites around the world in 16...

Baron Renfrew of Kaimsthorn is one of the most eminent archaeologists in the world today. His prolific work includes innovations in the radiocarbon revolution, the prehistory of languages, archaeogenetics, and the prevention of looting of archaeological sites. [Listener: Paul Bahn]
TRANSCRIPT: Before moving to Cambridge from Southampton, I'd got a little bit involved in the politics of archaeology as it were because I was made a member of the Ancient Monuments Board for England, which at that time advised the Ministry of Works - that was how it was organised in those days - and the Ministry of Works looked after the monuments in the care of the nation, like Stonehenge and Avebury and so on, the so-called guardianship monuments. Now, but it also advised on monuments that should not be destroyed but were not in care, the so-called scheduled monuments because they were on a schedule of the nation's important monuments and this was a time that rescue archaeology was getting underway. Peter Addyman and Martin Biddle and others had really made a great effort and it was recognised or became recognised largely through their efforts, that if motorways were going to be built and they were going to bulldoze through archaeological sites, there ought to be excavation in advance of that so that the information would be rescued. And that was developing but the Ministry of Works was rather slow to respond so it was an interesting experience to sit on the Ancient Monuments Board, which at that time was a very, very conventional body. It was chaired by a distinguished old gentleman, Sir Edward Muir, who had been the principal secretary or the chief civil servant in the Ministry of Works, and most of its consideration was whether we should schedule this monument or that monument and dusty files were produced and it was agreed probably we would schedule this one but the landowner wasn't too happy about that one and so on, and only very slowly did the realities of contemporary archaeology enter the Ancient Monuments Board. And I remember very clearly that probably in my first year on the Ancient Monuments Board, I think it was about 1974, we all solemnly went down to Stonehenge and we all agreed that it was a bad business that the road goes through Stonehenge, the A344, isn't it, the one that actually goes through the monument and how nice it would be if that could be closed and, and if a proper visitors' centre could be built because the existing one was getting rather tatty and the car park was too small and so on, and I remember the minister for culture, junior minister, Alma Birk, Lady Birk, this was a, the Labour government at the time, came down and we all met and we agreed that Stonehenge should be a first priority for national attention. And I mention that with emphasis because the story continues, and when the Conservative government had come in and Michael Heseltine was Secretary, Secretary of State for the Environment, and the Ancient Monuments Board met with him, he was much more dynamic and wanted to revise the system and it was no longer the Ministry of Works by then, it was part of the Department of the Environment, the archaeology section, and he agreed yes, Stonehenge should be a first priority for the nation and he was responsible for completely restructuring the way the heritage was dealt with in this country and passed the legislation setting up the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England and Lord Montagu, Edward Montagu, was made the first chairman of the commission and I became one of the commissioners, one of the foundation commissioners. And so we had a lot of time discussing what the new organisation should be, should be called and we had consultants who finally came up with the theory that it should be called English Heritage, which we agreed after some discussion. Not everybody was happy with the word Heritage and a logo was established and so on, and so Edward Montagu proclaimed that the flagship operation for English Heritage would be Stonehenge and we all went down and had meetings with the villagers to explain that the A344 should be closed even though they argued it would take a fire engine three minutes longer to reach the village in the case of emergency, should this happen and so on. And so my experience of the politics of archaeology, which has been a continuing one has in that sense been a frustrating one because after Edward Montagu, it was Sir Jocelyn Stevens who was the chairman of English Heritage and he reasserted that this was the flagship monument of the commission...

9. Petra
In the country of Jordan, you'll find a city from ancient times literally carved into the rocks of the nation. This is known as Petra that once was a lost city. You may look at it and see a giant carving, but this is merely the entranceway to an entire bustling town!
8. Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu (located in Cuzco, Peru) is one of the more "known" places in the world, but just quite not enough to be called a wonder of the world. This was the city that allowed the world a glimpse inside the Incan Empire. The Incas ruled a lot of South America for some time, including Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, and more.
7. Koh Ker, Cambodia
You most likely have heard about Angkor Wat in Cambodia, but if you drive about two hours, you'll find yourself in Koh Ker, which at one time was actually the capital of the Khmer Empire between the years of 928-944 AD. The Khmer Empire had a very long reign, one lasting from 802-1431 CE, and during that time, it had control of large amounts of land including parts of Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
6. Lubeck, Germany
Lubeck, Germany is a place that starts its own history back in the 12 century. When it was founded, it was done so with a purpose, for it was to be the capital of the Hanseatic League. While that may sound like a military group, it was actually one of commerce. Merchant guilds came together to capitalize, and monopolize trade routes and towns, and by extension of them doing that, Lubeck, Germany because a key place of commerce, especially in regards to maritime travel.
5. National History Park, Haiti
Located in Haiti, the National History Park contains the Citadel, Sans-Souci, Ramiers and is more than just a monument and a symbol of architecture. Rather, it's a living symbol of the freedom that Haiti won itself after a long and bitter war. In 1790, the black slaves of the then unnamed nation decided to rebel against the French colonists that had bonded them.
4. Ani, Turkey
At one point in time, Ani, Turkey was a central hub of trade for all of Europe. As capital of the Armenian Bagratid dynasty, this place was something to behold, and it was larger than any of the other contemporary cities in Europe for over 400 years. It was so large that it once held over 100,000 people within itself, proving how major a city it was.
3. Shibam, Yemen
Shibam, Yemen is known as many things, including the "Manhattan of the Desert". But this 1700 year old walled city is more than just an interesting site, it's one steeped in history. For example, it was once one of the wealthiest places in all of the Arabian Peninsula, but now, it's a literal shell of its former self.
2. Mesa Verde National Park
Before the United States was truly born, the land was inhabited by many tribes of Native Americans. One such tribe were the Pueblo's, whose legacy now remains in places like Mesa Verde National Park. You'll find the park in Colorado, but you're going to have to do some hiking, as it's 8000 feet above sea level. Once you get there though, you'll see the tribes massive home literally carved into the mountains and hills of the area.
1. Newgrange
Despite it being a World Heritage Site, Newgrange as a monument is overshadowed by things like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza, despite actually being much, much older than them.

This week on Huge Moves S3 - In a special edition, we mark the 40th Anniversary of the greatest structural move ever undertaken. We reveal how twenty of Egypt’s finest ancient temples were relocated from the rising waters of the River Nile in the 1960s. We recount how engineers cut up the twin temples of Abu Simbel into over 1,000 blocks to dismantle, move and re-assemble them piece by piece to safety on higher ground. We show how divers dismantled monuments flooded underwater on the Island of Philae and recount how the 900-ton temple of Amada was moved two miles on rail tracks across the desert. To illustrate the techniques used to relocate the temples, a modern-day team of movers led by America’s leading structural movers Jerry and Gabe Matyiko attempt to cut, lift and re-assemble a replica sandstone statue of Ramesses.
-
Super-size missions, risky routes, and the biggest cargo on the planet-imagine hauling a submarine over dry land, transporting a fleet of mega-yachts across the Atlantic, or relocating 20 ancient Egyptian temples...and now meet the heavy hauliers who tackle incredible odds to get the job done.

UNESCO's World Heritage site designation aims to protect the world's most valuable natural and cultural treasures. But often, that designation is not enough.

In 2016, the archaeological site of Philippi in Greece was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It was one of 21 such sites that made the grade last year.
The World Heritage Convention was adopted in 1972 with the aim of protecting the world's most valuable natural and cultural treasures. One of the first World Heritage sites was the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.
Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage sites with 51 followed by China, Spain, France, Germany, and Mexico. There are now a total of 1052 World Heritage sites around the world in 165 countries. 814 of them are cultural sites that may have historical or anthropological value. 203 are natural sites that may include habitats for threatened species. 35 are a mixture of both types.
But some of them are at risk.
Of 229 sites identified by the World Wildlife Fund as being significant for their natural value in 2016 almost half are threatened by industrial development such as illegal logging, mining, and oil and gas development.
Being designated a World Heritage site can bring attention and put pressure on governments to protect areas but the publicity can also cause an uptick in tourism to the sites, leading to further degradation.
55 World Heritage sites are listed a being in danger, some of them due to conflict. All six of Syria's UNESCO's World Heritage sites have been damaged or destroyed in the war. Palmyra was an ancient city whose well-preserved ruins were partially blown up by Islamic State militants after they seized control of the area.
But World Heritage does not only consist of places you can visit. UNESCO has a list of things of "intangible cultural heritage" that icnludes items such as yoga, Turkish coffee and Belgian beer. They, at least, do not seem to be at risk of disappearing anytime soon.
