History and Heritage
History is a discipline of the story of man. It is always developed on the finding of other disciplines such as Geography, Archaeology, Architecture, Literature, Arts, Numismatic, evidence etc.. History written today is more accurate than yesterday and history written tomorrow will be accurate than today owing to new findings on ever advancing scientific techniques.
The Central Cultural Triangle focuses attention on excavation, conservation and restoration where necessary for safeguarding the Heritage. To restore, there has to be accurate information of the past. If not, restoration can darken the history than lighten it.
