The World Organization (WHO) is one such group. The following is a brief update on what is being done to preserve cultural heritage worldwide.The tombs of Buganda Kings in Kampala UgandaThe Buganda are one of eight tribal groups who have lived in Uganda for centuries. By 1750 they had created a well-planned centralized form of government. Yheir leader, called the Kabaka, was assisted by a prime minister as well as the head of the army and the commander of the navy. Over the years, the tribe has continued to maintain many of their original customs and beliefs. Tribal loyalty remains important to the Bugandans, even as many of them leave the country to make lives for themselves overseas. In 1884, in order to preserve and honor the memory of the former kings, the palace grounds of the Kabaka were turned into a burial ground for them. In 2001, WHO declared the area an official World Heritage Site.The City of Quito EcuadorBefore Europeans arrived in 1532, Ecuador was part of the great Inca Kingdom. The area that is now called Quito became an important political center, and by the end of the 1500s the main ctreets of the city had been laid out and remain essentially the same today. As part of Quito’s early development, many grand public buildings such as palaces and cathedrals were constructed and decorated with beautiful statues and paintings. A powerfully original form of artwork emerged, combining European and South American Indian influences. This style of art greatly influenced the development of art in Latin America over the next 200 years and resulted in Quito being declared a WHO site in 1978.The Antonine Wall in Scotland, United KingdomThe Antonine Wall is a 37-mile-long earth and stone barrier built across Scotland by the Romans to protect its lands to the south from invasion by enemy groups. It was begun in AD.140 and completed two years later. Originally, forts were built every six miles along the wall, but this was later increased to every two miles. Today, the remains of the wall are clearly visible in many areas along its length, and it just recently became an official WHO site.。

The light bulb
Thomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in 1879. Before the invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas lamps or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evenings as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine living without them?
