World Heritage Sites

  Are you interested in World HeritageSites? In Japan, there are 17 World Heritage Sites. For example, Yakushima, Itsukushima shurine and the Atmic Bomb Memorial Dome and so on. I think that you know the most of World Heritage Sites of Japan. But do you know Americn World Heritage Sites?
  The United States has more World Heritage Sites than Japan. The number of them is 21. I introduce some of them.
  First, the Statue of Liberty. This was sended by France to celebrate the 100th independent anniversary of America and as a proof of friendship between America and Fance. Alexandre Gastave Eiffel that planed Eiffel Tower concerned its design. Now that is a symbol of the United States. This often appears in a lot of movies.
  Second,  this is Grand Canyon. This is in the north of Arizona.  This is a topography that Colorado Plateau was undermined by a eroding agency of Colorado River. This place has histories of the earth and grand views. Colorado River started eroding about 40 million years ago. The ravine appeared about 5 million years ago. And in about 2 million years ago the ravine became the shape like present existence. Now the erosion still continues.
  These World Heritage Sites are so famous in the world. But I think that you have not known they are also World Heritage Sites. Probably what we know about them is their surfaces. Actually they have many histories or stories. I advise you to go the spot to learn the truths.
