Unesco has already attributed the highest possible award to the site .
In their Criteria for the assessment of Outstanding Universal Value first is .

1)“ represent a masterpiece of human creative genius; “

That is a cultural value and like all cultural values it is unquantifiable .

Cultural values are the most important values for humans in relation to all WHS ,again , these values are unquantifiable .

That is an interesting and innovative interpretation George. No point in arguing about it because the actual meaning is defined elsewhere by far more authoritative sources than you or me.

Thanks for working through your thoughts George: It's sometimes very difficult, especially for people who work on this sort of stuff all the time, to work out how this sort of idea comes about.
