Description:This publication was originally conceived to promote the UNESCO/Italy Funds-in-Trust project, Emergency Consolidation and Restoration of the Monuments in Herat and Jam in Afghanistan, which was concluded in 2013. The project allowed UNESCO to carry out emergency conservation work, particularly on the Minaret of Jam and the Fifth Minaret of Herat. After decades of neglect due to civil conflicts, the state of these monuments was seriously deteriorating with the latter being on the verge of collapse.At the same time, despite UNESCO's long history of actions to safeguard the cultural heritage of Afghanistan that goes back over half a century, few materials have up to now been available to describe it. It was therefore decided to extend the scope of the original publication to include material which traces UNESCO's conservation efforts in the country as a whole. In this respect, it is hoped that this publication may serve as an exercise in institutional memory - recording the work that has been carried out over the past fifty years by UNESCO to help preserve Afghanistan's cultural heritage.The publication aims to illustrate Afghanistan's rich and colourful diversity by presenting the sites currently included in its Tentative List for World Heritage, along with a brief cultural history of the country. Four sites, namely Bagh-e Babur, also know as Babur's Garden, Balkh, Band-e Amir, and the Old City of Herat, have been placed on Afghanistan's Tentative List. All these sites have played crucial roles not only in the culture and history of the country but that of the whole region as well.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
