Paris: Two cultural sites, located in Cameroon and Malawi, have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, as announced by the organization, which is prioritizing the enhancement of Africa's representation.

According to Nam News Network, the Diy-Gid-Biy landscape of the Mandara Mountains in northern Cameroon comprises archaeological sites likely established between the 12th and 17th centuries. These sites are encircled by agricultural terraces and places of worship.

Malawi's addition features a mountain range dominated by Mount Mulanje in the southern part of the country, regarded as a sacred location inhabited by gods, spirits, and ancestors.

Among other candidates, several competing sites have origins dating back to prehistoric periods, including the Carnac stones in western France and rock carvings along the Bangucheon Stream in South Korea.
