Over the history of humanity, several important people have come and gone. Some of them had a huge impact on the society. From the kings and pharaohs of the ancient civilizations, to the historic political figures of the modern era; each person that left a mark on human history, is remembered even today. Many of these historically important people find themselves buried (actually or symbolically) in lavishly built tombs and mausoleums. From the countless ancient pyramids in Egypt, to the thousands of intricately decorated Islamic tombs in the Indian subcontinent, the examples of such structures are plentiful. Some of the most famous examples of these include the famous Pyramids of Giza, and the Taj Mahal, both of which are (or have been) one of the seven wonders of the world.

Violent conflict and persecution, compounded by rising food insecurity, environmental degradation, poor governance and countless other factors, drove more than three million people to leave their countries as refugees or to seek asylum in 2016, joining millions of others already in exile. Many more people were trapped or uprooted inside their own countries. Political solutions and prospects for peace remained elusive in most situations, and while some did manage to return home or find other solutions, at the end of the year the global number of people of concern to UNHCR exceeded 67 million.
