Every UNESCO World Heritage Site in Armenia, Explained

1.6K views · 6d ago · 34:04

Armenia has three UNESCO World Heritage Sites. All three are cultural, and all three are churches and monasteries, which sounds narrow and really isn't. Armenia is generally recognised as the first country to make Christianity its state religion, traditionally in the year 301, and everything on its list comes out of that decision.

Every UNESCO World Heritage Site in Antigua and Barbuda, Explained

1.2K views · 2w ago · 14:51

Antigua and Barbuda has one UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Antigua Naval Dockyard, better known as Nelson's Dockyard. It's billed as the only continuously working Georgian dockyard left anywhere in the world. It's where the British navy sat out the hurricane season and kept watch over the sugar islands, and it was built by enslaved people. Both of those things are the episode.
