孔索文化景观

占地面积55平方公里，位于干旱的埃塞俄比亚孔索高地，在这片高地上，除了石墙梯田构成的景观外，还分布着人类的定居点。作为人类克服干燥恶劣的自然环境，顽强生存下来的杰出范例，孔索文化景观代表着一个已传承了21代（即400多年）并依然具有活力的文化传统，并展现出各社区的共同价值观、社会凝聚力及其所拥有的工程知识。这里还保存有具有人格化特征的木雕，这些木雕相互组合在一起，代表着受到尊敬的各社区成员，特别是英雄事件，对正处消失边缘的丧葬传统而言，它们是特殊的活生生的见证。矗立在城镇中的石碑则共同构成了一种纪念一代代逝去的领导人的复杂体系。

Konso Cultural Landscape is a 55km2 arid property of stone walled terraces and fortified settlements in the Konso highlands of Ethiopia. It constitutes a spectacular example of a living cultural tradition stretching back 21 generations (more than 400 years) adapted to its dry hostile environment. The landscape demonstrates the shared values, social cohesion and engineering knowledge of its communities. The site also features anthropomorphic wooden statues - grouped to represent respected members of their communities and particularly heroic events - which are an exceptional living testimony to funerary traditions that are on the verge of disappearing. Stone steles in the towns express a complex system of marking the passing of generations of leaders.
