UNESCO World Heritage

Let’s have  a look to the table of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

chartoftheday_15643_the_number_of_unesco_world_heritage_sites_by_country_n

We can aggregate the data in a different manner, as below:

  • European Union as a whole 189
  • China 53
  • India 37
  • Mexico 35
  • United Kingdom 31
  • Russia 28
  • United States 23
  • Iran 23
  • Japan 22

A further aggregation could be relevant to all states whose civilization is based on Christianity, either oriental or occidental; we should add to the above figure the United Kingdom and probably United States and Mexico.

Of course this is not a proof of the fact that the development of the world civilization was in substantial part due to Christianity, it’s only a quite important  clue.
