:Also the 1979 World Heritage Committee meeting was not in Thailand, but in Egypt.  (Gyeongju/Kyongju was not discussed).  The only Thailand meeting took place in 1994 in Phuket (Gyeongju/Kyongju was not discussed).  I also reviewed the 2000 report and it looks like, once again, Gyeongju/Kyongju was not discussed. 
 :The proverbial "grain of truth" here is that Kyongju probably is among the top 10 municipalities in terms of the number of World Heritage sites there (2 or 3, depending how you count).  But that doesn't mean UNESCO "declared Gyeongju among the top ten," exactly.  Oh well, another bit of disinformation bites the dust.   5 July 2005 13:39 (UTC)
