Scenarios about 'UNESCO World Heritage'
UNESCO World Heritage sites are places of outstanding cultural or natural importance to humanity that have been formally recognized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. These designated landmarks, which include monuments, buildings, natural features, and entire cities, receive special protection under international treaties to preserve them for future generations. In alternate history scenarios, different sites might achieve this status, or existing sites might be altered or destroyed due to divergent historical developments.
