Treasures of the past

China Daily  

The forum attracts delegates from 16 countries to explore the modern significance of ancient civilizations. A two-day academic symposium as part of the third annual ministerial meeting of the Ancient Civilizations Forum was held at the Palace Museum in Beijing last week. The delegates spoke of the relevance of ancient civilizations in the modern world and shared their experiences in heritage conservation. "The protection of cultural heritage within one country has become inalienable from the big picture of the international community, and China is taking more responsibility in this process," Zhang says. The symposium discussed three main topics-differences and similarities among the world's ancient civilizations, ancient cultural heritage and its continuation and evolution in modern culture, and the ancient Silk Road as seen through the lens of archaeology.
