Heritopia investigates the meanings of the past in the present,
focusing on Abu Simbel in Egypt and other World Heritage sites. It
explores and resolves a number of paradoxes: the past is impossible
to preserve for eternity; all preservation implies change;
preservation of one site normally means destruction of others;
threats are important in the creation of heritage, but at the same
time heritage may become a threat and threats can become heritage
themselves; heritage stands in contrast to modernity and is at the
same time part of it; both the increase and the decrease of
modernity create heritage; and finally, heritage may be global and
local at the same time. Heritopia will appeal to students and
professionals in heritage studies and related subjects such as
archaeology, history, ethnology and museology. An electronic
