Homonym: آثار (Artifacts)
آثار refers to the remnants or traces of past civilizations, cultures, or historical events. These can include ancient buildings, artifacts, inscriptions, and other physical evidence that provide insight into how people lived, worked, and interacted in different eras. The study of آثار helps historians and archaeologists understand human history and cultural development.
In many countries, آثار are protected as part of cultural heritage. This includes sites like پامیر in افغانستان or the پارتنون in یونان. Preservation efforts aim to maintain these sites for future generations, allowing people to learn from and appreciate the achievements of their ancestors.
