Zayed National Museum | متحف زايد الوطني’s Post

Spending a weekend in Bahrain, visited the Bahrain Fort this morning and was fascinated by the history of the ancient harbour and old capital of Dilmun dating back to 2250 BCE. Quote from an article I read after the visit (link - Ancient Tylos: Urban Renewal in the Time of Alexander the Great https://lnkd.in/drVP5UwY): In the annals of history, human ambition has often manifested in grand constructions that serve as physical testaments to the spirit of their times. Like Alexander’s vision for Tylos and other Hellenistic city plans through the Macedonian Empire, or like Herod’s Second Temple, a marvel of ancient architecture and city planning, and of course Mohammed bin Salman’s Line, the Saudi crown prince’s futuristic vision in the heart of the Saudi desert, each represented symbols of their respective eras’ aspirations and challenges, however. They are more than mere structures or poleis; they are embodiments of the dreams and dilemmas of their times. Each of these projects is a reminder that human ambition often reaches for the skies, whether in reverence to the divine or in pursuit of a future where humanity and technology converge. Whether in stone or in steel, in their plans, they carry the stories of who we are and who we aspire to be. This serves a great reminder of the amazing project I currently work for, the vision 2030 & of what we are hoping to achieve for future generations…

Unearthing Sefar: A 8000-Year Journey into Algeria's History Algeria, a land of contrasts and diversity, is home to historical and cultural treasures that stand the test of time. Among these gems, the troglodyte city of Sefar stands as a living testament to an ancient civilization and a history that spans over 8000 years. Nestled in the heart of the Tassili n'Ajjer, Sefar offers us an exceptional glimpse into the past. The rock paintings that adorn its walls tell stories of abundant wildlife, epic hunts, and migrating societies, revealing a time when the Sahara was a lush and welcoming land. The presence of "the Great God," a mysterious figure painted by unknown hands, challenges us and invites reflection on the beliefs and spirits of our ancestors. Sefar is not just an archaeological site; it is an open door to the soul of a nation, an indelible link that connects Algeria's present to its illustrious past. Exploring Sefar is not just a journey through space but also through time, rediscovering a rich and diverse Algeria whose roots stretch far beyond written history. It is an invitation to recognize and celebrate the legacy of a country that has so much to offer the world. #algeria #sahara #africa #egypt #libya #usa #canada #uk #england #saudiarabia #australia #qatar #turkey #germany #nigeria https://lnkd.in/eSps7JEw

Blast from the Past: Restoring a Cairo Gem - The Saad Zaghloul Monument (2005) This time #blastfromthepast takes us back to 2005 and a project that ignited our passion for historical preservation: the restoration of the Saad Zaghloul Monument in the heart of Cairo! Unearthing a Hidden Treasure The Saad Zaghloul Monument, a true gem of Cairo, often went unnoticed by locals and tourists alike. We saw an opportunity to bring this significant landmark back to its former glory. Saad Zaghloul was a pivotal figure in Egyptian history, a leader of the country's independence movement. The monument serves as a tribute to his legacy and deserves the recognition it embodies. Breathing New Life into History Our restoration project involved meticulous work to: - Repair and stabilize any structural damage. - Clean and conserve the monument's exterior features. - Enhance the surrounding landscape to create a more inviting space. More Than Restoration: Raising Awareness Our efforts extended beyond the physical restoration. We actively promoted the monument's historical significance, aiming to: - Educate locals about this important figure and his contributions. - Spark interest among tourists, adding the monument to Cairo's must-see destinations. - Preserve national legacy. The restored Saad Zaghloul Monument now stands proudly as a testament to our commitment to historical preservation. It serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring our past and ensuring these landmarks continue to inspire future generations. #restoration #cairo #saadzaghloul #monument #project
