# UNESCO lists the Pythagoreion and Heraion of Samos, the island of the received origin

Date: 1992

## The fact

In 1992 UNESCO inscribed Samos’s Pythagoreion and Heraion. The listing is a completed conservation-access act. He did not file 1992. The name on the harbour is later civic memory.

## Context

Tourism and conservation fight on the same mole. Split mis-attribution of the tunnel.

[Pythagoras](/people/pythagoras) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official encyclopedia, Loeb, or heritage pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: UNESCO — Pythagoreion and Heraion of Samos (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/595/; UNESCO World Heritage Centre).

## Significance

A 1992 World Heritage polygon is not a birth file.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
