ON THE DIVERSITY AND HETEROGENEITY OF SOME MATERIAL OBJECTS OF UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE IN EGYPT

This article is relevant. UNESCO’s primary interests in the modern era are clearly defined. Thus, a thematic bridge extends from the world-famous pyramids to the historic center of Cyprus. This article also highlights the diversity of Lamiya Guliyeva’s views and interests. This includes the use of individual components of urban development in Egypt, the exploration of religious themes, statistical data, and an appeal to the nation's cultural needs. And so on. As the article progresses, it becomes abundantly clear that the author has thoroughly studied both critical and specialized (“Egyptology”) literature on the subject under consideration. This is primarily evidenced by excerpts from official websites, to which she appropriately cites. Furthermore, in our opinion, the author deserves credit for the following interesting fact: in her article, Lamiya Guliyeva does not limit herself to the standard materials that are readily available to ordinary readers on relevant websites and portals. On the contrary, this article also draws on less-studied critical and specialized literature. Specifically, the author focuses on both static ancient monuments located in isolated, uninhabited areas of Egypt and those around which various buildings have sprung up, both previously and in recent years. Thus, L. Guliyeva's range of interests is noticeably expanding in her exploration of this topic. Finally, we note the following point. This material hypothetically primes critics and readers for fiction. However, in addition to the perfectly natural descriptiveness, virtually every statement (or fact) in the article is supplemented and commented upon by the author. Some of these, in our opinion, seem to extend ideas expressed in critical literature.
