A rock carving hidden for 200 years has been rediscovered in Tanum, the largest find in the world heritage site in over 30 years. The discovery was made using an old sketch by Carl Georg Brunius. The carving will however be buried again for protection.
A UNESCO advisory panel has recommended adding the Asuka-Fujiwara archaeological sites in western Japan to the World Cultural Heritage List.
