changes with time may not need
protection however in the whole human
history business interests and material
gains have always overridden and been
responsible for destruction and
completely wiping out various
civilizations a more connected world
today is posing new threats to some of
the most beautiful cultural Heritage's
of mankind by changing the mindset of

simple if we take pride in our cultural
