Abstract

Great cultures have lived together for millennia, at times in conflict, at times in harmony. History reminds us that great works of ancient architecture, like the Lighthouse of Alexandria or the Coliseum of Rome, remain universal even if lost. And much cultural heritage still lies under the sea, so many seas, to be rediscovered and remembered.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This paper is based on a Conference on ‘Cultural Heritage and Development’ and was delivered at the Library of Alexandria, Egypt, 25 April 2009. Unpublished. I am greatly indebted to Michael Cernea, who had a leadership role in cultural heritage and development programmes at the World Bank, for his valuable suggestions for this paper.

    This was taken from Nelson Mandela’s image of the ‘Rainbow Nation’ for South Africa.

    Exact figures concerning languages are always controversial since they will vary enormously according to whether a language is classified as such or as a sub-variant of another.

  7. 7.

    One can only imagine the extraordinary monuments and palaces built with sand or wood that have been destroyed over history.
