UN's Year of Astronomy 09 & Heritage & "cultural tourism" Posted by: "robin goodfellow" robinorout1@hotmail.co.ukSat Mar 7, 2009 2:27 am (PST)Astronomy and World Heritage Initiative The cosmos have captivated the imagination of civilizations throughout the ages. The efforts of those cultures to understand or interpret what they see in the sky are often reflected in their architecture, petroglyphs, and other cultural representations. Objective The objective of the Astronomy and World Heritage thematic initiative is to establish a link between science and culture on the basis of research aimed at acknowledging the cultural and scientific values of properties connected with astronomy. The identification, safeguarding and promotion of these properties are the three lines of actions for the implementation of this programme. Its goals are: to offer a methodological framework for associated actions to open the pathway for cooperation between States Parties and academic communities and to share knowledge. Background The sky, our common and universal heritage, forms an integral part of the total environment that is perceived by mankind. Including the interpretation of the sky as a theme in World Heritage is a logical step towards taking into consideration the relationship between mankind and its environment. This step is necessary for the recognition and safeguarding of cultural properties and of cultural or natural landscapes that transcribe the relationship between mankind and the sky. Properties relating to astronomy stand as a tribute to the complexity and diversity of ways in which people rationalised the cosmos and framed their actions in accordance with that understanding. This includes, but is by no means restricted to, the development of modern scientific astronomy. This close and perpetual interaction between astronomical knowledge and its role within human culture is a vital element of the outstanding universal value of these properties. These material testimonies of astronomy, found in all geographical regions, span all periods from prehistory to today. Why "Astronomy" and "World Heritage" As there are few properties related to science on the World Heritage List, and the scientific value of cultural properties related to astronomy is not always recognized, the World Heritage Centre, in close collaboration with the State Parties and ICOMOS, have developed the thematic initiative "Astronomy and World Heritage" in response to the ever-growing concept of World Heritage, and the Global Strategy for a Balanced, Representative and Credible World Heritage List adopted by the World Heritage Committee in 1994. This Initiative provides us with an opportunity to identify properties related to astronomy located around the world, to preserve their memory and save them from progressive deterioration. Support from the international community is needed to develop this activity which will allow us to help preserve this sometimes very fragile heritage.

A chara
Further to our communication to you of Feb 12th (copied below) we have
received an acknowledgment of our proposal from Minister Noel Dempsey. In

land without let or hindrance via the part of the CPO land under
consideration.
Mise le meas
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tara Network <taranetwork@gmail.com> Date: Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 4:01 PM Subject: Fwd: Lismullin Henge/Post Enclosure, farm access road To: info@eurolink-m3.ie FAO José Tamariz
Confirming our telephone conversation of
friday 6th february, we are in consultation with The Lismullin Advisory
Committee, The Heritage Council, The National Monuments Division of the
Department of the Environment, NRA, Meath County Council and a number of TD's
and Government Ministers regarding a proposal at Lismullen Henge or Post Hole
Enclosure.
The farm access road will be unnecessary if this proposal is
accepted.
We would therefor request that construction of said farm access road should
be suspended until a final decision has been made on the proposal which may be
viewed at the following website:

A hand held GPS will help you pinpoint the spot until it becomes permanently
marked. There are a number of these within the network.

Would it be fair to say that this protest is over ? by Tara Tara Tara Fri Feb 27, 2009 22:42
No,
it would be more fair to say that the protest is escalating once again
. In these times of economic uncertaintainty - to put it mildly- it is
more imperative than ever to raise the issue of how the M3 through the
Valley is totally wrong in Every Way! http://www.indymedia.ie/article/91269&comment_limit=0&condense_comments=false#comment246436 |

Letter to the Editor: The Irish News: Time to weigh the past against the FutureTime to weigh the past against the future Letter to the Editor: The Irish News 04/03/09 In the light of the recent article in the Smithsonian magazine on the threat to Tara (The Irish News, February 28) it may be time for our leaders to reconsider the value of heritage and culture as something of major significance to the prosperity of the nation. The heritage which Tara represents is far more significant than the economic chicanery which has been passed off as the priority for the development of this state for far too long. Indeed, it is far more valuable to Irish society as it repositions itself in the wake of the international downturn, as our ancient heritage is also of a global importance, and we must share it with the world, as well as protecting it from mismanagement and poor planning at home.

Ogham
|
There are said to be 369 authenticated examples of Ogham writing which have survived as standing stones, mostly in Ireland but also in Scotland, Devonshire, the Isle of Man, and Wales. The possible reasons for its use are unknown, given that the Druids generally forfended writing. The Ogham system of writing consisted of horizontal or angled strokes and notches cut on stone or wood and branching out on either side of a vertical line or corner. It is read from top to bottom and left to right. Honoring the symbolism of the Druids, all of Ogham’s 22 letters have the name of a tree, The first letter is Beith (Birch), representing the first month of the 13-month year (roughly December 24 to January 24) when the birch is the first tree to sprout buds for its spring leaves.
