Site of Palmyra, UNESCO World Heritage Centre

This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own World Heritage List inscription for the Site of Palmyra, one entry in the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general World Heritage List record, or alongside another of its entries, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced by the World Heritage Committee for the purpose of recognition and protection, not a scholarly history of the site or the religious traditions once practiced there. Use it for this site's World Heritage status, inscription year and the criteria under which it was listed, and for its standing on the List of World Heritage in Danger; a claim about Palmyra's Greco-Roman and Semitic religious life needs a dedicated historical or archaeological source.
