00:00Kata'r 365

00:02Connecting with Archaeology provides you a sense of identity

00:05and connects Kata'r to the rest of the world.

00:07By making this event we promote and encourage

00:10not only the states but also the public

00:13and all the communities around Zubara

00:16to protect the marine and cultural heritage,

00:19underwater cultural heritage.

00:24Hello and welcome to Kata'r 365 with me, Laila Humaira.

00:28On this episode, we take a look at how the country

00:31is preserving both archaeological sites

00:33and its intangible cultural heritage.

00:37Let's first start here at the northern tip of Qatar

00:40in a village called Ain Mohamed.

00:42As I found out, it's one of a few dozen historical sites

00:46where researchers are conducting excavations

00:48to dig into the history of the early Islamic period.

00:54In the study of human history,

00:56nothing comes quite close to the thrill of discovering an ancient site.

01:00Dr. Robert Kata'r is leading the research at Ain Mohamed Excavation Site.

01:05What he and his team have found tells a fascinating story

01:09about the area in Kata'r's history.

01:11Well, there were definitely people living here,

01:13so they were not only undertaking production activities,

01:17they were also living around the factory as well

01:20because we have their food remains in little hearths,

01:22you know, cooking places.

01:24In fact, we have evidence from the site that they were growing crops.

01:27So, we have a settled population

01:29and they're farming and they're making textiles.

01:32And they're in Qatar.

01:34In the last 15 years, Ain Mohamed has been one of more than 30 sites

01:38identified by Qatar Museum's archaeologists,

01:40giving a glimpse of how life was like in the 19th century.

01:44But more recent findings have indicated that these sites existed way before then,

01:49between the 7th and the 9th century,

01:51which was also the time period that witnessed the birth of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula.

01:56Qatar Museums launched the Landscapes of Faith project

02:00to trace the intersection of when Christianity and Islam first overlapped.

02:05So far, we haven't found any good evidence either way

02:08for whether the people at the sites that were excavating

02:11are Christian or Muslim.

02:13But what we have found is some very interesting facts

02:16about the activities they were performing,

02:18the lives that they were leading

02:20and the connections they had with the outside world.

02:22After two excavation seasons,

02:25Dr. Carter and his team have collected a few pieces

02:28that make up the human history puzzle.

02:31We have a complete grinding stone,

02:34two halves of a rotary quern, we call it,

02:36still together in position, which is very unusual.

02:40We have several finds relating to textile production.

02:43We have spindle whorls, which are weights,

02:45and we have spindles, brass rods, which are used to spin.

02:49So we believe they were producing wool on this site.

02:52Here we've got a very nicely made basin

02:54with a nice lip with gypsum plaster and a drainage hole

02:58going through into a pit on the other side.

03:00And the pits where these basins empty out

03:03tend to be filled with this ashy, ashy sediment,

03:07which is one of the reasons we believe that they were washing something,

03:10probably a fleece, in ashy water to clean it.

03:13Among the finds was also this,

03:15the skeletal remains of a small dog in one of the rooms.

03:19While it's yet to be dated, it could indicate domestication of pets

03:23or perhaps the owning of sheepdogs.

03:26Every year, the museum holds an open day.

03:29It's a chance for the public to experience, explore, and learn about the excavation site.

03:35We have a group of people that can excavate with us.

03:38They can sieve the finds and the spoil that we find.

03:42They can wash pottery.

03:44They can take some photography.

03:46So it's a very hands-on day.

03:49Connecting with archaeology provides you a sense of identity

03:52and connects Qatar to the rest of the world.

03:55Angie Altam grew up watching Indiana Jones movies,

03:58so signing up to such an opportunity was a no-brainer.

04:02It was my first time here and, yeah, I found it fascinating,

04:06just digging, finding, and all these.

04:09And there is a very ancient and vibrant history in Qatar.

04:13Beginner's luck was on her side as Angie found a piece of broken pottery

04:18that looks like what the archaeologists are looking for.

04:21The team thinks they've only scratched the surface at Ain Muhammad

04:25and are hopeful that future digs will bring them more artefacts

04:29to help solve the mystery of Qatar's earliest dwellers.

04:33Preserving ancient sites is one important aspect of making sure past civilisations

04:44don't get lost through the ages.

04:46But so is spreading the knowledge to future generations.

04:50I'm here at Masharib Museums in the heart of Doha

04:54to meet General Manager Abdullah Al-Nama,

04:57who gives us an insight to the museum's role in keeping Qatar's heritage alive.

05:02Mr. Abdullah, thank you so much for having us here today.

05:07I wanted to start first with where we are.

05:10This is the Muhammad bin Jassim House.

05:13What is the historical and cultural significance of this building?

05:17Muhammad bin Jassim is one of our four museums here at Masharib Museums.

05:22Muhammad bin Jassim is very significant to the downtown Masharib.

05:26It covers the history of Masharib as an area,

05:29plus it explains the seven steps that the new architectural language

05:34that the city was built upon how they established.

05:38And it's also a testimonial of the education that here in downtown Masharib properties

05:44we are trying to spread the knowledge of building a smart and sustainable city

05:49to the younger generation.

05:50And there are a few other historical houses that make up Masharib Museums.

05:54Can you tell us more about those buildings?

05:57We have as well Beit bin Julmuth,

06:00which is the first and only museum in the world

06:03that talks about the story of slavery in the Indian Ocean world.

06:06And also we have the Company House,

06:08which is a museum that focuses on the Qatari pioneers

06:11who were working in the oil industry.

06:13The fourth museum is Ravwani House.

06:15Ravwani House is a prototype of the old Qatari houses,

06:19free oil and post oil.

06:21The four museums, the four stories,

06:23actually it's a social and economical study

06:26of the history of Qatari the past 120 years.

06:30So what are the ongoing outreach programs

06:34that you have at the museum right now?

06:36When we share museums,

06:38maybe it's not your traditional kind of museum.

06:41You focus a lot on the narrative.

06:42It's a narrative storytelling museum,

06:45more than artifact based museums.

06:47For example, we have a bimonthly very active program,

06:52which is the Science Cafe

06:54in collaboration with Cedra, for example.

06:56We have a research program with Hanag bin Khalifa University.

06:59So we try to diverse our offering

07:03for lots of initiatives happening here in Qatar.

07:06And finally, how do you see Masharib Museums

07:08continuing to stay relevant as the world modernizes?

07:12I think it's very important, especially through programming,

07:17to be relevant within the community.

07:19As long as the programs and the initiatives

07:22that we keep organizing are part of what interests people,

07:27I think this will make museums relevant

07:30to the evolving and changing communities.

07:33At the end of the day, our role is not only to showcase history,

07:38but also to be part of history.

07:45From forgotten worlds under Qatar sands

07:48to treasure troughs in its coastal waters,

07:50Joanna Hoos gets her hands and feet wet

07:52at the Al-Zubara archaeological site

07:55to explore Qatari history submerged in the Arabian Gulf.

07:59At first glance, this beach on Qatar's north-western coast

08:04might not seem all that remarkable.

08:06But dig a little deeper, literally and figuratively,

08:09and hidden under the glistening waters,

08:11you will find traces of a bygone era,

08:13remnants of the ancient coastal town of Al-Zubara,

08:16a settlement that was once at the heart of Qatar's pearl trade.

08:20Today's dive in Al-Zubara's past

08:39is organized by Qatar museums and UNESCO

08:42in collaboration with Seashore and the Poseidon Dive Center.

08:46The open day offers curious minds from Qatar's diving community

08:50a rare chance to get hands-on

08:52and learn how to uncover, document, and preserve

08:55the country's underwater cultural heritage.

08:58Today we are at the open day

09:00about the

09:26Zubara zgręciły się odczytać oczywę.

09:30Dzisiaj uczyliście go, co zgręciła,

09:33dzieje się na obrazach.

09:36Wytrzymy się, dlatego, że to to,

09:39że to one z kontaktyami z Katarzymiastami,

09:43z Muzimy Katarzymi,

09:45z namiomoczymy,

09:49i zakończymy się nie tylko kraj,

09:51ale też to povości,

09:52i zaświeć zubara,

09:55... i zbudowano zmaragą i zbudowano zbudowano.

10:00Ozdobara został pierwszy zbudowany jako arkeologiczny w 1950 roku,

10:05... i otrzymał status Unesco World Heritage w 2013 roku.

10:09To jest wioski najważniejszych zbudowano,

10:11... ale tylko jedna część zbudowała się zbudowała,

10:14... zbudowała dużo, czy zbudowała, na terenie, i na na ziemię.

10:25w tym roku szansa i zaznaczamy w zaznaczamy

10:29i zaznaczamy się, że zaznaczamy

10:34w to, że zaznaczamy wyłączamy do tego, że w zaznaczamy

10:38i po prostu, że zaznaczamy się, jak powiedziała,

10:40czy zaznaczamy, czy zaznaczamy się na tym momencie

10:45W tym samym placu został samochód na UNESCO

10:48w 2013 roku

10:50And since its inscription it's no longer become a Qatari site,

10:56it's become a site important for humanity.

10:59It has an outstanding universal value.

11:02So it's no longer Qatari, it's become,

11:04for the whole world, it's important for the whole world.

11:08Waffaa has dedicated her career

11:10to conserving underwater cultural heritage

11:13but she says digging up the past isn't just about preserving history,

11:17It's about understanding human behaviour and the valuable lessons the past can teach us for the future.

11:28Uncovering secrets of the past and preserving treasures from ancient civilisations

11:33are the strongest reminders that as Qatar modernises,

11:37its commitment to staying true to its roots is as unwavering as the artefacts that have survived hundreds of years.

11:44We hope you've enjoyed this episode, but that's all the time we have for now.
