Unesco’s St Kilda heritage site is situated off the coast of Hebrides on the west coast of Scotland, and comprises the islands of Hirta, Dun, Soay, and Boreray.

The difficulty in accessing the remote archipelago where past human activities almost entirely centred upon Hirta, makes a loud voice on ancient migrants’ past identity through the abandoned houses, cleits and other remains across the archipelago.

According to Unesco, ‘Recent research indicates that the archipelago has been occupied on and off for over 4000 years…The time depth, preservation and completeness of the physical remains, provides a tangible and powerful link to the islands’ past history, its people and their way of life, a distinctive existence, shaped by the St Kildan’s response to the peculiar physical and geographic setting of the islands…..St Kilda is one of the major sites in the North Atlantic and Europe for seabirds with over 1,000,000 birds using the island. It is particularly important for gannets, puffins and fulmars. The feral Soay sheep are also an interesting rare breed of potential genetic resource significance….’.

St Kilda is known to Scottish Gaelic as Hiort; it is situated 40 miles west-north-west of North Uist, in the North Atlantic Ocean. It contains the westernmost islands of the Outer Hebrides. Hirta is the largest island. The islands are administratively under the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar local authority.

The Iron Bridge heritage site of Unesco is located in Telford, Shropshire approximately 50 km north-west of Brimingham which includes five identifiable areas: Coalbrookdale, Ironbridge, Hay Brook Valley with Madeley, Jackfield and Coalport.  They are enclosed by a common boundary and are linked with the River Severn.

According to Unesco, ‘It was in Coalbrookdale in 1709 that the Quaker Abraham Darby I developed the production technique of smelting iron with coke which began the great 18th century iron revolution…..The small community of Jackfield on the south bank of the River Severn was important for navigation, coal mining, clay production, and the manufacture of decorative tiles. Located at the eastern end of the property and on the north bank of the River Severn, industrialisation came to Coalport in the late 18th century and the area is remembered principally for the Coalport China Works. …’.

The River Severn is known to Welsh as Afon Hafren which discharges at Apperley, Gloucestershire. It rises on Plynlimon close to the Ceredigion/Powys border near Llanidloes, in the Cambrian Mountains of mid Wales. It flows through Shropshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire with the county towns of Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Gloucester on its banks. Severn Estuary contains River Wye and Bristol Avon; tributaries of Severn are : the Yyrnwy, Tern, Teme, Warwickshire Avon, and Worcestershire Stour.

Unesco’s scholarship claims that ‘The features of the Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast site and in particular the strata exposed in the cliff faces, have been key to shaping the understanding of the sequences of activity in the Earth’s geological history….the area is of global geological importance on the sea coast at the edge of the Antrim plateau in Northern Ireland. It is made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns sticking out of the sea. ….it shows that this striking landscape was caused by volcanic activity during the Tertiary, some 50-60 million years ago….’.

The name Giant here refers to ‘Antrim’ whose root is in Ananta, the Naga or the Serpent King who was subdued by Vishnu; its historical identity is linked with Anant tribe of ancient world who were considered as gold carrying ants by Alexnader’s historians; the Bible considers Ananta as Anakim, and other mythology took them as Anunaki or Anu people.

Some ancient texts have written them as Antyas; they were seen mainly on the bank of the river Ganges or the Gaza or Gaga area; others took them as settlelers on the bank of the river Hiranyabaha or the Gold carrying river or Soan or Sunamuhin river.

The heritage site thus marks the ancient Ananta tribe people who migrated and settled in the Antrim region.

According to Unesco, ‘These were essential both for the community of St. Cuthbert, who came to Durham in the tenth century in search of a safe base (having suffered periodic Viking raids over the course of several centuries), and for the Prince-Bishops of Durham, protectors of the turbulent English frontier… The property has remained continually in use as a place of worship, learning and residence. Durham Cathedral is a thriving religious institution with strong links to its surrounding community. ……Durham Cathedral was built between the late 11th and early 12th century to house the bodies of St. Cuthbert (634-687 AD) (the evangeliser of Northumbria) and the Venerable Bede (672/3-735 AD)….’.

The San Antonio Missions heritage site of Unesco are a group of five frontier mission complexes situated along a 12.4-kilometer (7.7-mile) stretch of the San Antonio River basin in southern Texas. These complexes, according to Unesco, ‘were built in the early eighteenth century’ which collectively exhibit the ‘Spanish Crown’s efforts to colonize, evangelize and defend the northern frontier of New Spain’.

The heritage site interweaves two cultures: the Spanish and the Coahuiltecan’; the amalgamation of culture of the indigenous peoples of the region with these two cultures is not clear; the five missions were selected on the basis of their geographical unity in the San Antonio River Basin. Though seems to have been founded independently, the missions located at a distance of less than five kilometres from each other share a common past and a common historic origin. The heritage site complexes were never built, as suggested, with a common intention of defending themselves from an external attack.

The Mission Valero is called ‘the Alamo’; the urban components of the individual sites are linked to San Antonio. The name Valero and the name Alamo hold their common past where meaning of San and Antonio bear their respective historical identity through the many events of the ancient world. Valero is as same as Bolar or Beluva of Buddhist history; shrine of Madhava, the Bodhisattva, stands here as a neighbour to Ananta shrine.
