Land of Frankincense
The frankincense trees of Wadi Dawkah, the remains of the caravan oasis of Shisr/Wubar and the attached ports of Khor Rori and Al-Baleed vividly illustrate that the frankincense trade flourished in the region for many centuries and was one of the most important trading activities in the ancient and medieval world.
Mistaken Point
The fossil site is located at the southeastern tip of Newfoundland Island in eastern Canada. It consists of a 17-kilometer-long narrow, rugged coastal cliff. These cliffs originated from the deep sea and date back to the Ediacaran period (580 million to 560 million years ago), making them the oldest known collection of large fossils. The fossils illustrate a watershed in the history of life on Earth: the emergence of large, biologically complex organisms after nearly 3 billion years of evolution dominated by microorganisms.
