ไทยเฮ..มรดกโลกแห่งใหม่! 'เมืองโบราณศรีเทพ' กับ 12 สิ่งที่กำลังจะเกิดขึ้นตามมา | Thailand & The World
Sep 22, 2023
จุดเริ่มต้นของประวัติศาสตร์ไทยหน้าใหม่ ได้เกิดขึ้นแล้ว หลังจากที่ UNESCO ได้ทำการรับรองการขึ้นทะเบียนเมืองโบราณศรีเทพ เป็นมรดกโลกทางวัฒนธรรมแห่งที่ 4 ของไทยในวันนี้ แต่ที่สำคัญกว่านั้น อะไรจะเกิดขึ้นต่อไปหลังจากนี้ เราได้ทำการสรุปสิ่งที่น่าสนใจ 12 ประการ ที่เป็นทั้งผลประโยชน์และผลกระทบที่ในเชิงบวก ที่ทำให้เมืองโบราณศรีเทพ แตกต่างออกไปจากมรดกโลกของไทยแห่งอื่นๆ และเป็นสิ่งที่คนไทยควรจะต้องรับทราบเอาไว้
เป็นไปตามคาด เมื่อองค์การการศึกษาวิทยาศาสตร์ และวัฒนธรรมแห่งสหประชาชาติ หรือที่รู้จักกันดีในชื่อ UNESCO ได้ทำการรับรอง และขึ้นทะเบียนให้เมืองโบราณศรีเทพ ที่ตั้งอยู่ใน จ.เพชรบูรณ์ของไทย เป็นมรดกโลกทางวัฒนธรรม ในปี 2566 หลังจากที่ไทย ได้ห่างหายไปจากการเป็นประเทศ ที่มีโบราณสถาน ที่ได้รับการขึ้นทะเบียนเป็นมรดกโลกทางวัฒนธรรม มานานถึง 31 ปี โดยครั้งล่าสุด เกิดขึ้นในปี 2535 ซึ่งก็คือแหล่งโบราณคดีบ้านเชียง จ.อุดรธานี ที่ได้รับการขึ้นทะเบียน เป็นมรดกโลกทางวัฒนธรรมแห่งที่ 3 ของไทย ต่อจากเมืองประวัติศาสตรสุโขทัย และเมืองบริวาร จ.สุโขทัย ในปี 2534 และนครประวัติศาสตร์พระนครศรีอยุธยา และเมืองบริวาร ในปี 2534 เช่นเดียวกัน แต่การได้รับการยกย่อง ให้เป็นมรดกโลกทางวัฒนธรรม โดย UNESCO ของเมืองโบราณศรีเทพ ดูเหมือนว่าจะส่งผลกระทบ ที่จะตามมาในหลายด้าน มากกว่ามรดกโลกทางวัฒนธรรมก่อนหน้าทั้ง 3 แห่ง จากการเป็นแหล่งอารยธรรมโบราณขนาดใหญ่ การเป็นเหมือนตัวแทนของอาณาจักรทวารวดี ที่ถือว่าเก่าแก่ที่สุดแห่งหนึ่ง ในเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้แผ่นดินใหญ่ หรือ คาบสมุทรอินโดจีน และการแสดงให้เห็นถึงศิลปะของงานสถาปัตยกรรม อย่างมหาสถูปยอดแหลม ที่เชื่อว่า เป็นต้นแบบของศิลปะงานสถาปัตยกรรมของไทยในเวลาต่อมา เป็นเหมือนจิกซอร์สำคัญในด้านประวัติศาสตร์ ที่บ่งชี้ว่า ศิลปะไทยที่มียอดแหลม ไม่ว่าจะเป็นสถานที่สำคัญทางพุทธศาสนา ไปจนถึงมงกุฎหรือชฎา มีต้นแบบที่ได้กำเนิดขึ้นมานานกว่า 1,500 ปีมาแล้วเป็นอย่างน้อย นอกจากนั้น เมืองโบราณศรีเทพ ก็อาจจะมีบทบาทในฐานะต้นแบบของอาณาจักรโดยรอบ ที่เกิดขึ้นตามมาในภายหลัง โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่ง อาณาจักรขอม ที่มีเอกสารทางวิชาการในต่างประเทศระบุว่า รูปแบบของงานศิลปะทางพุทธศาสนา ของทวารวดี เป็นต้นแบบของงานประติมากรรมที่สำคัญที่สุดอย่างหนึ่ง ของอาณาจักรขอม แต่รายละเอียดเกี่ยวกับเรื่องดังกล่าว เราจะขอนำเสนอในโอกาสต่อไป

The beginning of Thai history has already happened
after UNESCO has confirmed the registration of the ancient city of Sithep
as the fourth world heritage of Thailand today.
But more importantly, what will happen next after this?
We have summarized 12 interesting facts
that are both beneficial and negative
that make the ancient city of Sithep different from other Thai world heritages
and that Thai people should be aware of.
As expected, UNESCO, a well-known scientific and cultural organization
has confirmed and registered the ancient city of Sithep
which is located in the province of Petchabun in Thailand
as a World Heritage Site in 2065
after Thailand has disappeared from the country
that has an ancient site that has been registered as a World Heritage Site for 31 years.
The latest was in 2035
which is the Baan Kieng Ancient Cemetery in Udon Thani
which has been registered as the third world heritage of Thailand
after Sukhothai Historical City and Buriwan City, Sukhothai Province in 2034
and Siyutthaya Historical City and Buriwan City in 2035 as well.
But UNESCO's recognition of Sithep as a World Heritage Site
seems to have an impact that will follow in many directions
more than the previous three World Heritage Sites
from being a large ancient heritage site
to being the representative of the oldest ancient temple
in Southeast Asia or the Indo-Chinese archipelago
and the display of the art of architecture
which is believed to be the cornerstone of Thai architectural art in the future
is like an important milestone in history
that indicates that Thai art that has a great impact
whether it is an important place for Buddhism
to the Mongkut or Chada
has a model that has existed for more than 1,500 years at least.
In addition, the ancient city of Sithep
may have a role as a model of the architecture that follows in the future
especially the architecture
that has academic documents in foreign countries
that the model of the Buddhist architecture of Thavaravadi
is the most important model of the architecture of architecture.
But the details of the story
I would like to present in the next opportunity.
What will happen to the ancient city of Sithep
after being officially registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO?
Today, we will talk about various things that will happen
with a total of 12 items
which are directly beneficial
from being registered by UNESCO
and what may happen in many directions
especially as an important evidence
that will make the history of Siam
change from the original understanding
that will have to be re-examined
especially in the part related to the artifacts
that are being used as a tool
in the recognition of the cultural heritage of some countries
which is an issue that has been widely interested by Thai people during this period.
The direct benefits from being registered
as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO
are as follows
1. Identity
or having an identity at the level of the world of that place.
Being registered as a World Heritage Site
by UNESCO
is like accepting the history
the origin of the ancient site
and the rituals that took place in the past
of the country that owns
is to inform the cultural and artistic identity
of the people in the area
which may be passed on to people in the modern era.
For example, in the case of Thailand,
we will find artworks found in the ancient city of Sithep
from Buddha statues,
Dhammacak, Satu Parijedi.
But in some countries,
these cultural arts will be lost
for one reason or another
as we have seen from the modern art
of the country of Kampucha
which was passed down from Siam.
2. The name of the country and province
that owns the World Heritage
is considered to be a positive result from the first point
and may be the most important reason
that each country expects
because the name of the country
will be associated with the ancient site
that was certified by UNESCO
even though sometimes
the name of the site may be known
by people around the world
more than the country it was established.
This depends on the ability
of each country
to use the name of the World Heritage
in international relations.
But for sure,
Thailand will be more known
in the world stage
as the owner of the ancient site
that is almost 2,000 years old
and there will be many more things
to learn in the future
from the wreckage
that is buried underground
waiting to be excavated.
3. Tourism
is the result of the reputation
and speciality of being a World Heritage
that makes people interested
to visit the new World Heritage.
In addition,
Thai tourism
will help make the country
easier to communicate
with the world.
Thailand, as a world-class
tourist city,
will help make the overall picture
in tourism and culture
more interesting.
In addition,
the grandeur of the outer mountain
and the various activities
seen in Thai and Ayutthaya
will help make the ancient city
of Ayutthaya, Chaboon,
a popular tourist destination
like Phutthaberg,
even more interesting.
That means the overall economy
of the country
will be better
after having a new World Heritage
in the area.
4. Funding
Although UNESCO may have funds
to donate hundreds of thousands
or limited funds,
but for some countries
such as Afghanistan,
it is necessary
if they want to preserve
the World Heritage.
For example, in Afghanistan,
the Taliban destroyed
the statue of Bamiyan
at an altitude of 150 feet
on the mountain in Bamiyan.
UNESCO has donated
up to 4 million SAR
to restore it back to normal.
Anyway,
many countries that own
World Heritage sites
usually have funds
to donate hundreds of thousands
or restore their historical sites
to a certain level.
If it is already known
as a World Heritage,
it will be easier
to raise funds
to restore it.
5. Receiving protection
during the war
under the Geneva Pact
in the areas of architecture,
attacking these things
is more than creating damage
to the objects used in construction,
such as bricks,
wood, or building frames,
but it is a destruction of memories,
culture, and pride
of humanity.
Intentional destruction of cultural heritage
is equivalent to a war
against humanity
as a whole.
China has been protected
by UNESCO
as a World Heritage
by a country that may be at war
in the future.
6. Accessing various resources
of the world to manage
historical sites
This is because UNESCO
has assured
that various agencies
will provide cooperation
in any matter if the United States
requests resources
that can be controlled
from experts, technology,
some countries that have limitations
in the management and maintenance
of historical sites,
such as ancient objects,
will not ask for help from other countries
to help excavate and repair
as we have seen many foreigners
get involved in the excavation
of the ruins of many historical sites
as well as to help repair
various parts with the knowledge
and technology they have.
7. Becoming a partner
with various international organizations
By being ranked
as an important place in the world
by UNESCO,
if the agency is responsible,
it will find a partner in any project
related to the ancient city.
Whether it is to be used as a place
to organize international events,
to be a cultural resource
for students or
international academics,
to do charity to Thailand
through media from abroad
or any activities
that are related to Thailand
and Thailand itself.
And those are the 7 direct benefits
that will arise from being certified
as a World Heritage Site
by UNESCO.
But for the ancient city,
there are many special things
that will help create change
and be a good result for Thailand
at least in the future.
1. The new history of Thailand
has been certified by the World Heritage Agency
which is UNESCO.
The ancient city of Si Thaep
is different from the world heritage
of other Thai cultures
by being over 1,500 to 1,700 years old,
which is considered the oldest
in Southeast Asia
and has been longer
than the temple of Kampucha
for hundreds of years.
This will make the old belief
about the role of Siam in the past
and neighboring countries
to be reconsidered
or further studied in Thailand.
2. Being a World Heritage Site
This is an extension
from the first point
that the new history of Thailand
is not only the beginning
of the history of Siam,
but it also means
that the Thawaravadi Monastery
is a World Heritage Site
which has an impact on the Monastery
in the past
and in the present.
From the evidence of some connections
that have been discovered in the past,
which we will present in the future,
the center of the Monastery
has emerged in many dimensions
including cultural, commercial,
linguistic, technological,
and cultural heritage
which has discovered many ancient objects
and there are still many more
that are waiting to be excavated.
3. The activities of Si Thaep
reflect the form of art
and the materials used
in the construction of the stupa
or the Buddhist heritage
that is as extensive
as can be seen in the era
of King Sukhothai
and King Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.
This means that the art in this form
originated before the construction
of the temple and most ancient sites
that used the art in the form of a hill
outside the ancient city of Si Thaep
was used in the construction
of the upper stupa
of the Monastery of Si Thaep.
But the most important thing
is the great legacy
that most foreigners understand
that originated in the era
of King Sukhothai
almost 800 years ago.
There is a very long history
of originating
when contemplating
from the image of the hill outside
and the small size around
but can still be transmitted
through this model
in some countries
to the point of this model
that Thais are often accused
of being influenced
by the ancestors
while the art of the two ancestors
are completely different.
The emergence of the world heritage
through culture
makes Thais more fond
of recreating many ancient objects
that have been circulated abroad
or have been stolen
to keep as a private property
of some Thais.
Today, we find that
artifacts in some foreign countries
have been collected
to display ancient objects
in the Thavaravada era
which not only makes the ancient city
more complete
but also beneficial
in investigating Thai history
because it is evidence
of the destruction of the original knowledge
of the history that has been destroyed
or modified.
This is the first step
to make the history of Thais,
indigenous people
and the people
related to Thailand
more correct.
When the history of Thailand
which is the main country
in Asian indigenous people
is re-modified
to be the way of history,
the original information
from all over the world
including the information
about the Thais'
internal activities
such as
historical study
and international
academic research
can be used
to make the history
of Thais
more correct.
These are the 12 positive effects
that will occur
after the city of Boran
has been registered
as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
by UNESCO.
Some things have an immediate effect
after the announcement
but many things may take time
to happen.
In addition, further research
in the future may be able to tell us
more about this new world heritage
especially historical information
that is becoming important
in reviewing the history of the country
which is considered normal
that must be modified
but at least
the discovery of the city of Boran
has played an important role
in transforming the history
of Thailand
as never before.
