Hello! my friends, thank you for always visiting your favourite site unilagfaces.com, well, just to make sure you get this information. What is it? I came home today and picked up a magazine to read. It was the April edition of Newsweek International and the caption “7 Most Endangered Wonders of the World” caught my inquisitive mind, I have read different article on the wonders of the world, some said to be great, new, and many more. Now, finding out that some of the world acclaimed wonders are endangered and why. I thought its a news worthwhile to bring to you on the blogosphere.
Luxor, Egypt.
Luxor, Egypt Dating back to the 14th century B.C., the Luxor temple complex on the west bank of the Nile River—which includes the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, more than 40 temples and the tombs of thousands of nobles—is threatened not only by the ravages of tourism and theft, but by the Nile itself. The construction of the Aswan Dam 40 years ago has caused salt to build up in the newly fertile soil around the temples, eroding their ancient foundations and filling many tombs with water. The World Monuments Fund is currently devising a management plan for the site, and hopes to give the complex its biggest renovation since Alexander the Great. Intresting! let’s not take everything today, see you tommorow and stay on the blogosphere.
