The secrets of Musawwarat

I was part of the team from Humboldt University, Berlin. They have been working here since the sixties. Previous works have mainly been focussing on archaeology and buildings, we took a closer look on graffiti on the walls. The team lead by Dr Cornelia Kleinitz, has been doing recording work here for several years.

My job was to capture graffiti using RTI and photogrammetry. Also some of the walls were photographed with very high detail to produce high resolution composite images.

Hopefully graffiti and inscriptions will reveal the use of the Musawwarat complex, which is still unclear.
