Cultural heritage is the source of our identity and is the social guarantor because it is built on what our ancestors left and preserved over time, and knowing our heritage helps us become more aware of our own roots, and more understanding of the importance of other cultures and peoples. Finally, respect for heritage leads directly to intercultural dialogue
Cultural heritage and identities have become a priority area in international academic research, with its themes and interactions under serious ferocity in modern societies. With the spread of globalization, issues of common heritage have become vital in politics (in the European Union in particular) as talk of diversity in national identities and heritage programs increasingly influences the transnational entities that develop it, and by definition, cultural heritage is a general collective idea. It falls within the scope of the public interest and in order to achieve the public good. “Heritage" may be a relatively new (widespread) concept, but the word itself is rooted in antiquity and has accumulated a wealth of different connotations over time.
The heritage of nations has always been a basic pillar of their cultural identity, and the title of their pride in their civilizational identity in their history and present. The cultural heritage of nations has always been a source of inspiration and a vital source of contemporary creativity from which its artists, writers and poets draw, as well as its thinkers and philosophers, so that new creations take their place in the map of cultural heritage, and transform themselves into a heritage that links the nation's present with its past, and enhances its presence in the global cultural arena. Cultural heritage is not only monuments, monuments and monuments, but it is also everything that affects a nation from intangible expression, from folklore, songs, popular music, tales and traditional knowledge that the nation has passed down through generations and eras, as well as those multiple and different architectural edifices, and those material remains of utensils and ornaments, clothing, documents, graffiti, etc.; They all express her spirit, the pulse of her life and her culture.
Heritage is the accumulation of man's experience in his dialogue with nature, and man's dialogue with nature, as it means the mutual experience between man and his surroundings, and this environment that includes even the other human being, whether an individual or a group.
