Industrial Archeology Furniture by Mieke Meijer
2012-01-06 16:35:00 Since 1959, German artists Bernd and Hilla Becher… dedicated themselves to registering the remnants of the industrial age in Western Europe and the United States through photography. In the 20th century, many of these buildings were pulled down because they had served their purpose and were no longer a tenable economic proposition. In many cases the photographs taken by the Bechers remain the only

Qatar Archeology: Discovering Qatar's Past
2008-04-27 11:47:00 In the latest of her series of articles on Qatar's Natural History, Francis Gillespie, local author and journalist and coordinator of the Qatar Archeology Project, writes about Qatar's Archeology.In the article she explores how archeology in Qatar - which, prior to the 1950's, was considered unimportant by locals and of little interest compared to Bahrain - was a late starter. However, when archeologists did come to Qatar they immediately started to make discoveries, with finds dating back to 6000 BC.Numerous finds have been made since then, some linking Qatar with major civilisations in the past. More discoveries have been made in the last few years, and we are still waiting to find out what excavations currently underway will discover.Also see:Qatar History: The Rise of the Al ThanisQatar's Early HistoryPearl Divers in QatarQatar Visitor FriendsQatar JobsFind the best deal, compare prices and read what other travellers have to say about QatarTagsarcheology history

Qatar Archeology: Romans in Qatar?
2008-04-05 23:46:00 Actually, no - or at least not many.A recent article in the Gulf Times, based on claims by a rogue archeologist, claimed that Qatar was settled by traders from the Indus Valley, and that the Romans had settlements in Fuwarit, Jessasiya and Umm Almah. You can read the article on the Gulf Times website.I was very impressed and mentioned it to an archeologist friend - who told me that it was all rubbish. The article was based on claims by an amateur archeologist who had, shall we say, misinterpreted and exaggerated the facts.According to the Amiri Diwan website the Romans may have been in Qatar at some point - however, this seems to have been limited to a temporary fishing station. The truth is that for centuries Bahrain was more attractive to settlers, because of its fresh water springs and reserves - many of which are now sadly drying up due to over development. As a result Bahrain has a far more interesting history (although not necessarily a happier one!)Qatar probably was, howeve...

Forbidden Archeology
2008-04-04 13:26:00 Forbidden Archeology by authors/researchers Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson is the latest mind altering book I am engaged in reading.Over the centuries, researchers have found bones and artifacts proving that humans just like you and I have existed for millions of years. Mainstream science, however, has suppressed these facts. Prejudices based on current scientific theory act as a knowledge filter, giving us a picture of prehistory that is largely incorrect.The crux of this well researched and well documented book is to explore basic anomalies found in the human archaeological record that seemed to exist outside the current paradigm of science. While I could discuss numerous finding of this book, I will offer one example.The Calaveras Skull: In February 1866, Mr. Mattison, the principal owner of the mine on Bald Hill, near Angels Creek, removed this fossilized skull from a layer of gravel 130 feet below the surface. The gravel was near the bedrock, underneath several disti...

Archeology - not an exact science
2007-09-24 14:12:00 This is cross posted from www.torahlab.orgIt has bothered me for some time that we have virtually no archeological evidence for any of the stories in the Torah or Nach.Many years ago I remember a cover article in Time magazine which used this lack of evidence to 'prove' whether or not the Exodus ever happened.Why can't we find any of the altars that Avraham built? Where are the wells dug by Yitzchak? Why can't we find the rock that Yaakov slept on, or the gal-ed that he set up to mark the border between himself and Lavan? Where is the evidence that the Israelites lived in Egypt for a few hundred years? etc. etc.Today's news put this in context for me. For years people have tried to figure out where the stones that were used to build the Temple were hewn from. I remember each tour guide had a different theory as to how far these rocks must have traveled to come to Jerusalem.Now we know the answer. This just in from Israel National News.The Antiquities Authority announced today t...
