Some more new Kraków connections:

Connection: Destroyed or damaged by Earthquake

Kraków – "1443 - Earthquake, which caused damage to the Saint Catherine Church" (Wikipedia)

Connection: Dubbed as another WHS

Kraków – "The metropolitan city of Kraków is known as the city of churches. The abundance of historic landmark temples along with the plenitude of monasteries and convents earned the city a countrywide reputation as the "Northern Rome" in the past." (Wikipedia)

Connection: Early Printing

Kraków – "During the reign of Casimir IV, various artists came to work and live in Kraków, and Johann Haller established a printing press in the city after Kasper Straube had printed the Calendarium Cracoviense, the first work printed in Poland, in 1473." (Wikipedia)

Connection: Female Christian Mystics

Kraków – Jadwiga of Poland (1373 or 1374 – 1399) – Queen "Jadwiga often prayed before a large black crucifix hanging in the north aisle of Wawel Cathedral. During one of these prayers, the Christ on the cross is said to have spoken to her. The crucifix, "Saint Jadwiga's cross", is still there, with her relics beneath it. Because of this event, she is considered a medieval mystic." (Wikipedia)

Connection: Tycho Brahe

Jodrell Bank: the first deep-space signal to be recorded and studied was the supernova in Cassiopeia, which was observed directly and studied first by Tycho Brahe in 1572, inspiring him his first theories about the nature of the universe.

For the new Allogenic Ecosystem Engineering connection:

I think Saryarka in Kazakhstan, where the mounded burrows of the bobak marmots can be seen from space with help of satellite imagery (https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.138).
In simple terms translated from Dutch wiki: 'The entrance to the burrow is raised to a height of 0.5 to 1 meter to prevent it from flooding during rainstorms. The soil from the den is compacted around the entrance for a circumference of 20 to 25 meters. All vegetation in this area is removed.'

The bobak marmot is widely spread across the steppes of Northern Kazakhstan and, indeed, the AB report mentions: 'Many of the 53 mammal species in the nominated property are steppe rodents such as Bobak marmot, sousliks, ground squirrel, lemmings and the vulnerable steppe pika.' While the nomination file and AB link the OUV more to plants, birds and the Saiga antilope, this article emphasises how the ecosystem engineering by the marmots is of importance for the life/existence of those plants and other animals: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaridenv.2020.104244

Nice one!!!
I did a lot of researching for this Connection but that great example didn't emerge

It shows, Solivagant. I am always in awe of your new Connections and the amount of research that clearly went into them! It puts my proposals to shame. :-)

On National Border: Mount Mulanje Cultural Landscape
With Mozambique

Diy-Gid-Biy Cultural Landscape, on the other hand, don't touch the Nigerian Border.
Maybe sites like this one and, for exemples The Royal Court of Tiébélé or Notre-Dame Cathedral in Tournai, could have their own connection when they are close to a land border of another country but without touching it (the criterion could be via the buffer zone or a reasonable distance of 50 km maximum).

It is not paradoxical to have both Free entrance and Guided Tour Only + Reservation required?

Good idea to extend it to the antimeridian.

Thanks...... you should know, however, that I have taken to using AI tools of late (usually Gemini) - sometimes to generate an idea for a Connection but more often to build on an idea I give it - develop the definition, get potential WHS listed and sources identified to help justify their inclusion. Maybe you are already an "Expert"?? If so you will know that the results don't drop out fully formed as if by magic. As one uses them the reality gets reinforced that they are still basically "Tools" which require experience and even a degree of skill to get the best out of. They are designed to want to please and give answers so they often come up with those infamous "Hallucinations" and need double and treble checking. They can be remarkably forgetful too - I frequently have to tell Gemini that I am ONLY interested in Inscribed WHS and not Tentative list sites... Sometimes I even have to tell "her" that I am going to give "her" answer to Grok to get it checked out (!!) ... "you do that" she says! But it is amazing what they "know" without the hassle of "old fashioned" Google searches - those are so "last century"!!! - the Nomination Dossiers, Advisory Body Evaluations and WHC minutes are all fully open...... even the reviews and forum comments on this site.... she knows all about your contributions to this site Jurre!! ..... and can characterise the main contributors here by "style of travelling" and interests!!!

You know what. The other day I was musing about connections for every possible meridian and parallel, with all WHSs lying on the same one. It could kind of be a geographical counterpart to the chronological connections :-)

Olympic Venues: Verona: Verona Arena

In 2026, the Arena host the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics and the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympics for the Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026.

Yes but it is true in this case. I will add a note to the Free entrance since the guide needs to be paid of course

Natural properties of criterion (x) located in a megadiverse country (new connection suggestion)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megadiverse_countries

17 megadiverse countries are:
Australia
Brazil
China
Colombia
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Ecuador
India
Indonesia
Madagascar
Malaysia
Mexico
Papua New Guinea
Peru
Philippines
South Africa
United States
Venezuela

The 73 WHS with this criterion (biological diversity), in these countries, are:
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/?&search=&id_states=au,br,cn,co,cd,ec,in,id,mg,my,mx,pg,pe,ph,za,us,ve&n10=on&components=1&order=country

I don't find that such wide connections are useful; it says more about the country than the site as well.
If others do see something in it, let me know here and we can discuss adding.

Please extend with anti-meridian sites and provide a description and rationales
