A UNESCO advisory panel has recommended adding the Asuka-Fujiwara archaeological sites in western Japan to the World Cultural Heritage List.
The recommendation was issued on June 6, 2026. The sites are located in the Nara region and represent ancient capitals. The panel's decision follows evaluations of the archaeological value of the locations. If approved, the sites would gain international recognition under UNESCO guidelines.
Le gouvernement de l'Uttar Pradesh a ajouté 39 sites à sa liste de monuments protégés par l'État, allant de tertres d'habitat datant de 1000 av. J.-C. et de vestiges de l'ère Kushan à des bâtiments coloniaux. Le Comité consultatif archéologique a approuvé cette inclusion lors d'une récente réunion de bilan. Les responsables ont souligné leur volonté de développer un « sentier Kushan » à travers l'État.
