		We visited the Lin peninsula last year - ICOMOS is acting in "Pavlovian dog" fashion regarding the proposed railway - it isn't going to be that close to the Church. But as per my review of nearby Prespes the inscription of the whole area as a mixed site was and is a nonsense

		I've just sen how big Vatnajokull actually is. It is probably about a fifth of the size of the country. Do we have a connection for sites making up the highest percentage of the state party? Vatican will obviously win, is the inscribed site actually larger than the country in that case?

		meltwaterfalls: is the inscribed site actually larger than the country in that case? Re Vatican - Yes - it includes extraterritorial parts of Rome!

		You would have thought that Susan Denyer would have checked the pronunciation of "Ohrid" - she keeps saying "'orrid"!!!

		Extension of Ohrid approved, not In Danger. Now Paraty!

		Paraty inscribed Even with banal platitudes, I think I could listen Brazilian Portuguese being spoken all day long.

		elsslots: Ancient ferrous metallurgy sites of Burkina Faso inscribed, Ah well - some years ago we saw a different "Ancient Metallurgy site" in W Africa - but its Blast Furnace looked to be just the same as the photos of those inscribed here. I will have to check back on our diaries as to exactly where it was!

		Babylon now

		Interesting idea to have a 3 dimensional inscribed zone - length, width and depth (i.e below ground ) - with the highest level below ground being only a "Buffer zone". One might have expected this concept to have emerged elsewhere that non UV buildings have been constructed above archaeological sites

		FYI, the 2019 list has a SQL error https://www.worldheritagesite.org/list/year/2019

		GaryArndt: FYI, the 2019 list has a SQL error https://www.worldheritagesite.org/list/year/2019 That will automatically be allright after this year's session ends (or earlier if Nan wants to provide a quick fix -> we need to exclude sites.status=3, Nan) For the status of this year's new inscriptions look at https://www.worldheritagesite.org/list/new

		Babylon inscribed, and escapes being In Danger (Norway said it would deter tourists!)
