Bat Cemetry is a debate!!!!! Read and discuss!!
Bat is a circular building of square-shaped hard rocks, with two external walls and a third interior one, which is divided into numerous dome-shaped rooms that look like a 4-metre-high beehive. From the inside, the cemetery is divided into partitions to bury the dead. The graves also contain pottery, vases made from rock, rosaries of precious stones, bones and wood. The site, which lies in the north-eastern Ibri town in the Adh-Dhahirah province of Oman, became famous when the International Heritage Committee of UNESCO listed it among the world's places of international value and put it on the Natural International Cultural Heritage list.

Chaco Culture
For over 2,000 years, Pueblo peoples occupied a vast region of the south-western United States. Chaco Canyon, a major centre of ancestral Pueblo culture between 850 and 1250, was a focus for ceremonials, trade and political activity for the prehistoric Four Corners area. Chaco is remarkable for its monumental public and ceremonial buildings and its distinctive architecture – it has an ancient urban ceremonial centre that is unlike anything constructed before or since. In addition to the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, the World Heritage property includes the Aztec Ruins National Monument and several smaller Chaco sites managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
