Amazing Tank Graveyard In Asmara, Eritrea
The Eritrean War for Independence from Ethiopia was fought for almost thirty years, before finally (sort of) ending in 1991 with success for Eritrea. As one can probably imagine, in a war of that duration and size, countless tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks, aircraft and other vehicles were damaged or destroyed during combat. In fact, the remains of many military vehicles can still be seen today scattered across the countryside of Eritrea. However, a large number of vehicles were also dragged to the site seen in this video, which is on the outskirts of Asmara (Eritrea’s capital) and dumped. Heaped upon each other and rusting away, the tank graveyard is absolutely massive.
A handful of caretakers keep an eye on the site to try and deter looters and those trying to make money off of scrap metal. And, because this is Eritrea, one must have a permit to visit, but it is worth it…

Adulis in Massawa, Eritrea
Adulis is an archeological site in the Northern Red Sea of Eritrea, situated about 30 miles south of Massawa in the Gulf of Zula. It was the port considered part of the Kingdom of Aksum, located on the coast of the Red Sea. However recent excavation uncovers artifacts that predates the Axumite civilization. These civilization is now known as Adulitarian. Adulis Bay is named after the site. It is thought that the modern town of Zula may be the Adulis of the Aksumite epoch, as Zula may reflect the local name for the Ancient Greek Adulis.
Adulis was one of the first Axumite sites to undergo excavation, when a French mission to Eritrea under Vignaud and Petit performed an initial survey in 1840, and prepared a map which marked the location of three structures they believed were temples. In 1868, workers attached to Napier's campaign against Tewodros II visited Adulis and exposed several buildings, including the foundations of a Byzantine-like church.
The first scientific excavations at Adulis were undertaken by a German expedition in 1906, under the supervision of R. Sundström. Sundström worked in the northern sector of the site, exposing a large structure, which he dubbed the palace of Adulis, as well as recovering Axumite coinage. The expedition's results were published in four volumes in 1913.
The Italian Roberto Paribeni excavated in Adulis the following year, discovering many structures similar to what Sundström had found earlier, as well as a number of ordinary dwellings. He found a lot of pottery: even wine amphorae imported from the area of modern Aqaba were found here during the decades of existence of the colony of Italian Eritrea. These types now called Ayla-Axum Amphoras have since been found at other sites in Eritrea including on Black Assarca Island.
Over 50 years passed until the next series of excavations, when in 1961 and 1962 the Ethiopian Institute of Archeology sponsored an expedition led by Francis Anfray. This excavation not only recovered materials showing a strong affinities with the late Axumite kingdom, but a destruction layer. This in turn prompted Kobishchanov to later argue that Adulis had been destroyed by an Arab raid in the mid-7th century, a view that has since been partially rejected.
A pair of fragments of glass vessels were found in the lowest layers at Adulis, which are similar to specimens from the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. One very specialised imported vessel discovered at the site was a Menas flask. It was stamped with a design showing the Egyptian St. Menas between two kneeling camels. Such vessels are supposed to have held water from a spring near the saint's tomb in Egypt, and this particular one may have been brought to Adulis by a pilgrim.
Since Eritrean Independence, the National Museum of Eritrea has petitioned the Government of Ethiopia to return artifacts of these excavations.

Embassy Media - Glimpse into the Antiquity of Eritrea - 'Adulite Civilization'
The National Museum of Eritrea has been engaged in different research pursuits nationwide for almost two decades emulating a multi-disciplinary approach in collaboration with different foreign counterparts.Evidence confirm that the western lowlands of Eritrea are the location for the ancient Land of Punt.
The main objectives of the fieldwork at the ancient port city aimed to conduct archaeological excavations and technically the research has been designed to provide the first detailed chronological sequence of the occupation and development of the site. The conservation of the exposed trenches has been a priority and management works were carried specially for the specific purpose in the course of the project. Ethnographic assessment, geological studies, environmental assessment of the shoreline, topographic mapping and systematic excavation revealed evidence on various aspects. Around thirty Eritrean and Italian experts have participated in the different phase of the Adulis project.

This is the time People of Eritrea...Rise up and Demand for what is Yours
Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority. ~William Jennings Bryan
People of Eritrea who must have had enough of our people being de-humanized, intimidated, lacking in freedom of expression, being robbed of it's youth, jailed without just cause, no freedom of worship, food shortage and famine and our innocent citizens being killed endlessly without mercy just so to satisfy the lust for power by the tyrant DIA..We must stand up and Say: Enough is Enough..Let us all rise up together and free our people from this unelected, unaccountable leader that dares to take our country to hell, because together we have the power in numbers. If we don't come together as one people, one nation under God, and fight oppression that has plagued our nation, we will never see the light at the end of the tunnel..Yes, it will be a challenging and yes we will face many obstacles thorough this course but lets remember our heroic forefathers broke the spine of the Derg forces without any help...And each and one of us, their blood flows in our viens...Join us and help us and help our people from this nightmare that haunts them daily...They are relying on us to free them, lets not disappointment them...
Long live Liberty and Freedom; down with barbaric regimes

5 km North of Asmara, Eritrea
This is about 5 km north of Asmara Eritrea. Specifically, from the Coca Cola Factory at the north end of town. I ran to this location a bunch of times. Right where the trees are is some water. This explains why that part is very green while the rest is very dry/desert-like.

Qudad, Re-inventing a Tradition - PREVIEW
Caterina Borelli
color, 58 min, 2004
in Arabic
English subtitles
Qudad is an ancient lime waterproofing plaster that has been used for several millennia in the Arabian Peninsula. In Yemen, where it most likely originated, it is found on religious and secular buildings and archaeological sites. Because of its elaborate and labor-intensive application (it takes a full year to set properly), this strong, resistant material has barely been in use for the past 30 years. As a consequence, very few masons know how to make and apply it.
In 1983, the Yemeni Government and the Dutch Government collaborated to preserve one of the most important and unique monuments in Yemen, a 16th Century mosque in the town of Rada' called the “'Amiriya Madrasa.” The conservation team chose to revive the practice of mixing and applying qudad since it covers most of the surface of the building. In doing so, they not only used the same techniques as originally used in the construction, but also trained a new generation of masons.
Now this tradition will not be lost, and it is hoped that the knowledge can be imparted to other countries whose monuments require qudad restoration, countries where the knowledge of the craft of qudad has died.
The film portrays the qudad work at the 'Amiriya as narrated by the workers, who are all Rada' locals. Because of this project, they are all now part of a government restoration team which will take care of decaying architecture throughout Yemen. In this film, it is clear that their meticulous care and craftsmanship are devoted to restoring the 'Amiriya not only for its significance as a unique architectural structure, but as part of their city's own history and culture.

(Chess Continuum series)
Inaugural exhibition of EMST, 2000, Athens, Greece, “Synopsis 1-Communications”;
Given that in the year 2000, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens was proclaimed and destined to be situated within the run-down building of the former brewery FIX, and although a small area inside has been somewhat organized and offered to serve as exhibition space, I felt that the situation should not be overlooked.
In this light, of a Museum in flux, a Museum in Genesis, where opposite forces of chaos and order were apparent, and with the conceptual tool of the ideogram of Chess Continuum(1992), where opposites are complementary in a constant flow, I decided to tear down the wall, abandoning the space which served as Museum, and enter the run-down space of the FIX building.
Bridging in this way “chaos” and “order”, not only architecturally but also image-wise, in the similarity of white noise (which is a chaotic phenomenon of the technology itself) to the sea sparkling in the sun.
