----------------------------Original message---------------------------- >----------------------------Original message---------------------------- >Dear Herbert, Thank you for your reply to my query. I have been to all the Unesco sites on the internet but the relevant links did not give any information regarding the location of the sites. I have also contacted Unesco and I am still waiting for a map which they promised to send which apparently shows the approximate location of the sites. They also said that as yet they did not have a database which gave accurate locations for their sites.
