900 BCE - 146 BCE, The amphitheaters found around the Mediterranean are one of the most important legacies left from ancient civilizations. Their architecture, acoustics, and quality of structure give clue to their social importance and craftsmanship. As important as they were historically, they are equally as important now to the living legacy from tourists to local performers. However, it is also this continued interest that has become a contributing factor to the deterioration of these sites. ATHENA Project

Historical Period Unknown, Drakensburg Rock Art - South Africa is home to a spectacular mountain range called the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park (UDP). Originally called Khahlamba by the Bantu-speakers, the name means "the row of upward-pointing spears." These mountains contain a wealth of rock paintings depicting the beliefs and traditions of the San hunter gatherers who first inhabited South Africa. The paintings are the only tangible record left of the San who for the past 100 years have been considered an extinct people and culture. The sites are outstanding in their quality, diversity of subject and their exquisite depiction of animals and human beings. The rock art greatly contributed to the Park being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

1636 CE - 1688 CE, Imperial Tombs of the Qing and Ming Dynasties

1906 CE, From a main east-west trail, dating from antiquity, rises the great sandstone promontory of El Morro. Over the centuries, those who traveled this trail stopped to camp at the shaded oasis beneath these cliffs. They left the carved evidence of their passing - symbols, names, dates, and fragments of their stories that register the cultures and history intermingled on the rock. Explorers and travelers have known of the pool by the great rock for centuries. A valuable water source and resting place, many who passed by inscribed their names and messages in the rock next to petroglyphs left by ancient Puebloans. The ruins of a large pueblo located on top of El Morro were vacated by the time the Spaniards arrived in the late 1500s, and its inhabitants may have moved to the nearby pueblos in Zuni and Acoma. As the American West grew in population, El Morro became a break along the trail for those passing through and a destination for sightseers. As the popularity of the area increased, so did the tradition of carving inscriptions on the rock. To preserve the historical importance of the area and initiate preservation efforts on the old inscriptions, El Morro was established as a national monument by a presidential proclamation on December 8, 1906.

1876 CE - 1877 CE, In 1876, as the founders of Rapid City, South Dakota planned the layout of the city, Founders Rock attracted much attention for its prehistoric Native American rock art. The site of modern-day Founders Park, located along Rapid Creek, was previously utilized by the native Lakota and Cheyenne groups as a camp site to aid their movement through the Black Hills. The area later became home to various industries, including Rapid City's first electric power plant, a lumber mill, and a meat-processing facility. After a serious flood in 1972, the facilities shut down and the site became parkland. Today, Founders Park is a popular destination for hikers and rock climbers, and Founders Rock is particularly iconic for its unique inscriptions.
