title: Il Ont

description: In September 2019, CyArk and a team from IMISI3D in collaboration with the Adunni Olorisha Trust (AOT) and the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) of Nigeria documented three monumental structures at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Osun Osogbo. Despite its national and international significance, many of the shrines and art pieces in the Sacred Grove have fallen into disrepair over the years due to a lack of resources. In an effort to revitalize some of the work done by Susanne Wenger, since 2005 the AOT and NCMM have begun implementing conservation efforts on some of the shrines in collaboration with the local community. The documentation completed as part of this project provides a comprehensive and detailed inventory of the current conditions in 2019 as well as a variety of multimedia content that can be used to raise awareness of the site. Aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry and laser scanning were employed at Il Ont, the assembly hall of the earth cult; Oj , the central shrine for worship and Iy Mo , a monumental statue and shrine to the goddess of women's occupations. Over the course of one week, CyArk and four workshop participants from IMISI3D documented the structures and conducted interviews with local artists and artisans in The 75 hectare sacred grove of Osun Osogbo is the last remaining high forest in the country containing monumental sculptures and shrines depicting Yoruba deities. The site was assigned World Heritage status in 2005, and represents the last example of a once widespread practice of establishing sacred groves by the Yoruba people. The site is unique in having a large component of 20th century sculpture, some created by Austrian artist Suzanne Wenger who eventually became a high priestess and dedicated her life to the sacred grove.

title: Heart of Neolithic Orkney - Skara Brae

description: In 2010, Historic Environment Scotland partnered with CyArk and the School of Simulation and Visualisation to document five of Scotland's UNESCO World Heritage Sites in five years. These sites include the Antonine Wall, St. Kilda, Edinburgh, New Lanark and Neolithic Orkney. Neolithic Orkney is a grouping of neolithic monuments in the Orkney archipelago on the Northeast coast of Scotland that provide a rare glimpse into prehistoric life in Northern Europe. Documentation efforts at Neolithic Orkney focused on several key archaeological sites including Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, Maeshowe and the Stones of Stenness. In August 2010, the project partners used LiDAR, or laser scanning, to record the present condition of the structures as well as the surrounding context for use in monitoring and to support the ongoing management of the sites. Some 5,000 years ago, the prehistoric people of the Orkney Islands began building extraordinary monuments out of stone. Each of the four Heart of Neolithic Orkney sites is a masterpiece of Neolithic design and construction in itself. But together they represent one of the richest surviving Neolithic landscapes in Western Europe. The series of important domestic and ritual monuments gives us incredible insights into the society, skills and spiritual beliefs of the people who built the monuments. Skara Brae is a domestic settlement whose stone walls, passageways and stone furnishings - including beds and 'dressers' - survive to the present day.

title: Tikal

description: In November 2005, a team from the University of California, Berkeley traveled to Tikal in Guatemala, a World Heritage Site, to demonstrate the advantages of digital documentation techniques and how they could be applied to Temple IV, one of the tallest and most voluminous buildings in the Maya world. The expedition team completed survey, digital photography and laser scanning to support current condition assessment and restoration activities and also provided a workshop to local heritage professionals. The project, completed in partnership with Instituto de Antropolog e Historia and xRez Studio, was funded by the UNESCO World Heritage Center with support from the Kacyra Family Foundation. The ancient Mayan city of Tikal is located deep in the heart of Guatemala's El Pet rain forest, within Tikal National Park. The ancient city, covering an area greater than 16 sq km (6.2 sq mi), is the largest known ancient Maya city-complex dating to the Classic period. It is estimated to have had a peak population of 100,000 to 200,000 with an urban density of 600 to 700 people per square kilometer. During the Classic Maya period from 200 to 850 CE, Tikal flourished, becoming the preeminent political, economic, and military power in the region. At least 33 rulers oversaw the construction of numerous monuments, many of which remain to be uncovered. In addition to its large monumental temples, the site is renowned for its carved inscriptions and exceptional multicolored ceramics.

title: Rock Art Sites of Somaliland - Dhagah Kureh

description: In September 2013, CyArk digitally documented Laas Geel, Dhagah Nabi Galay and Dhagah Kureh rock shelters using laser scanning and photogrammetry. The project was conducted in partnership with the Horn Heritage Charity, a nongovernmental organization that works to protect and promote the archaeological heritage of the Horn of Africa and ICCROM, the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property. CyArk also provided a training workshop to heritage professionals from Somaliland. The expedition was made possible through a generous donation from the Government of Switzerland. The complex cave and rock shelters of Laas Geel, Dhagah Kureh, and Dhagah Nabi Galay lie just 30-45 minutes outside of Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, a self-declared republic and autonomous region of Somalia. Exhibiting outstanding Neolithic rock art, the sites' cave paintings are considered to be some of the best preserved rock paintings in all of Africa. The images provide valuable information about some of the earliest pastoralists living in this region. The paintings, dated to the third and second millennia BC, depict the herding of humpless cows, sheep and goats, as well as the hunting of antelopes, giraffes, and other wild animals.

title: Brandenburg Gate

description: CyArk partnered with the Landesdenkmalamt Berlin and the Institute of Photogrammetry at the University of Stuttgart to scan Brandenburg Gate as well as the entire Pariser Platz in 2015 in preparation for Germany's 25th anniversary of reunification. Using LiDAR technology and photogrammetry, the site was digitally recorded to complement a historical archive of documentation and conservation materials housed in Berlin's Senatsverwaltung fr Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt (Senate House for Urban Development and Environment). The project was completed through the generous support of Iron Mountain. For over 200 years, Brandenburg Gate has been an icon for a transforming German identity. Brandenburg Gate was commissioned by Prussian Emperor Frederick William II, to represent peace at the end of the 18th Century. When Napoleon invaded Berlin in 1806, he sacked the bronze quadriga and took it back to Paris. After Napoleon's defeat, the quadriga was returned, with an added Iron Cross to commemorate the victory. The gate became a central symbol for the Nazi Party, only to become inaccessible for years to come after the demise of the Nazis and the division of Germany. It was walled off from both sides with concrete and barbed wire when Germany, and consequently, Berlin, was divided into two. However, with the fall of the German Democratic Republic, better known was East Germany, in 1989, the Brandenburg Gate has again become central in symbolizing a reunited country External Project Link: https://artsandculture.google.com/exhibit/xAKC1G0yXShSKA Additional Info Link: https://cyark.org/projects/brandenburg-gate

title: Waitangi - Ngtokimatawhaorua

description: The Waitangi Treaty Grounds were documented by CyArk in December 2017 using a combination of terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry and LiDAR laser scanning. Documentation was completed on the entire site extents with higher fidelity capture at the Te Whare Rnanga (the carved meeting house), the Treaty House as well as the Ngtokimatawhaorua (the ceremonial war canoe). The data will be used by the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in ongoing management and promotion of the site. The work at Waitangi was completed through generous support from Air New Zealand. On February 5th, 1840, over three hundred different Mori and European representatives met on the lawn of James Busby's home to discuss the treaty of Waitangi and the sovereignty of the nation of New Zealand. Signed the next day by those in attendance, the treaty is considered the founding document of the country of New Zealand with February 6th celebrated as a national holiday. The site today preserves James Busby's residence, renamed as the 'Treaty House', along with a Mori meeting house that was built alongside it to celebrate the conception of independence.

title: Lincoln Memorial

description: CyArk collaborated with Pennsylvania-based forensics firm DJS Associates in 2013 to digitally preserve the memorial structure at its current condition. The team assisted in documenting the site through 3D laser scanning and high resolution digital photography. The conservation products developed after the documentation work, such as a the orthophotos for architectural drawings, were used to complete the Historic Structure Report (HSR) for the monument. All of this work was completed under the auspices of the National Parks Service. The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC stands as a tribute to the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, who carried the nation through the American Civil War and passed the abolition of slavery. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865. While there were plans to build a memorial for the 16th President as early as 1867, Lincoln Memorial opened to the public in 1922. The memorial was created by architect Henry Bacon who modeled the building off of the Parthenon in Greece, the birthplace of democracy. The 36 Doric columns, representing the 36 states in the Union at the time of Lincoln's assassination flank the building, which is also covered with friezes and relief sculptures. The central space is dominated by the seated statue of Lincoln, carved by the Piccirilli brothers and Daniel Chester French. The north and south rooms contain inscriptions from Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address and his Gettysburg Address as well as two murals painted by Jules Guerin. The steps at the Lincoln memorial as well as the path leading up to the Reflecting Pool has been witness to monumental moments in American History including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have a Dream' speech. The memorial aligns along an axis with the other buildings on the National Mall.

title: USS Pampanito Submarine

description: USS Pampanito was towed to Bay Ship Yacht shipyard and raised out of the water in a dry dock for repairs. On Friday, November 11, 2016 the submarine was scanned. Our goal was to create a baseline scan for future comparison, to inform future repairs, to compare to her builders drawings, and to facilitate interpretation and research. USS Pampanito made six patrols in the Pacific during World War II during which she sank six Imperial Japanese ships and damaged four others. Operated by the Maritime Park Association, Pampanito hosts over 100,000 visitors a year and is one of the most popular historic vessels in the country. In addition to day time visitors, over 1,500 kids a year participate in Pampanito's educational day and overnight programs. Pampanito is a National Historic Landmark.

title: Taos Pueblo

description: Working with the Taos Tribal Government, The US National Park Service and World Monuments Fund, CyArk documented the site in collaboration with Nolte Engineering in 2010. CyArk utilized laser scanning and photogrammetry to document the entire complex including the multi-storeyed North house, San Geronimo church and several private homes. URC Ventures further assisted in drone documentation of the site. The project was part of a larger program led by World Monuments Fund to develop a training program for tribal members in conservation and conserve an 11-unit dwelling at the site. The documentation was used to create orthographic images and guide the conservation at the site. CyArk also provided a training to the tribal members on site documentation and data processing techniques. Taos Pueblo is the largest multi-storied, adobe pueblo in the United States. It has been continuously inhabited since 1000 CE and is currently the only Native American community to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark. Taos Pueblo is located on 95,000 acres and is one mile north of the modern city of Taos, New Mexico.

title: Monastery of Geghard

description: In January 2015, CyArk traveled to Armenia to facilitate a two-week training session in digital preservation for high school students at the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies. This workshop guided students through the process of site documentation at Geghard Monastery through the use of 3D laser scanning and close-range hand scanning with the Artec scanner. The students learned how to develop conservation materials, such as drawings, 3D perspective images, animations, and virtual tours. This project was made possible through donations from the Armenian-American community. The Geghard Monastery complex was first founded in the 4th Century by Gregory the Illuminator, the religious leader who is credited with converting Armenia from paganism in 301 CE. The remote site rests at the entrance of the Azat Valley in central Armenia. Surrounded by towering cliffs, the complex contains a number of churches and tombs that are partially carved directly into the rock. The principal church was built in 1215 and features numerous khackars or stone crosses. The monastery became famous because of the relics it housed. Its full name, Geghardavank, meaning the Monastery of the Spear, originates from the spear that wounded Jesus during his Crucifixion, allegedly brought to Armenia by Apostle Jude, also known as Thaddeus in Armenian.

title: Khan Asad Pasha

description: Khan As'ad Pasha was documented as part of Project Anqa, a collaboration between the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), CyArk and Carleton University, funded by the Arcadia Foundation in the UK. The project began in 2015 in response to the catastrophic loss of heritage in the Middle East and aimed to protect monuments by providing training on digital preservation techniques for local heritage professionals in the region. CyArk provided several training and workshops in Lebanon to Syrian heritage professionals in 2016 and 2017 in partnership with the UNESCO Office for the Preservation of Syrian Cultural Heritage. Khan As'ad Pasha in Damascus was documented by the trained members of the Syrian Directorate General of Antiquities and Museums using photogrammetry and LiDAR. Constructed at a major point of economic activity of the Ottoman Empire's rule in Damascus, governor As'ad Pasha al-Azem oversaw the project which was completed in 1752 and served as a guesthouse, commerce center, and storage facility for merchants traveling through the city. The structure follows the typical layout of a khan or caravanserai and was situated in the heart of the historic trading center along the Suq al-Buzuriyyah. The first floor consists of a courtyard populated with shops and was dedicated to commerce and storage while people mainly used the second floor for lodging. By the twentieth century the Khan As'ad Pasha no longer functioned as a haven for traveling merchants and in 1980, the Department of Museums and Antiquities used it as a manufacture and storage space. Restoration continues on the khan including restoring the domes which had been damaged in an earthquake, reinforcing the supporting piers, and restoring interior finishes and decor.

title: Complex of Hu Monuments - Tomb of Tu Duc

description: In the summer of 2018, CyArk documented several monuments related to the Vietnamese Emperor Tu Duc at the Hu Monuments Complex. CyArk collaborated with the Hue Monuments Conservation Centre (HMCC) to document the Hoa Khiem Temple, Tu Duc Tomb Stele Building, Tu Duc Queen's tomb and the nearby An Dinh Palace. Photogrammetry of both the interior and exterior of the monuments was completed with a Nikon D810 and a Phase One Medium format camera. Aerial photogrammetry was completed with a Phantom 4 Pro drone and scanning of the monuments was accomplished with a FARO X330 laser scanner. The HMCC requested assistance documenting these monuments as it had recently completed a restoration program on these buildings and wanted baseline documentation as well as a variety of digital assets to be used in the promotion of the site. The Complex of Hu Monuments is located within the Thua Thien-Hu Province in the geographical center of Vietnam. Established as the capital of unified Vietnam in 1802, Hu was not only the political but also the cultural and religious center under the Nguyen dynasty until 1945. The Complex of Hu Monuments site has suffered from the effects of wars, as well as modern development and expanding human settlements. The Tu Duc Tomb is the final resting place of Emperor Tu Duc who reigned from 1848 until his death in 1883. Tu Duc faced encroaching colonialism from the west as well as turmoil within the Vietnam, particularly related to the construction of his tomb. In attempt reduce the construction time, managers of the project reduced the construction timeline from 6 years to 3 years by ridding of breaks for the laborers, resulting in a rebellion. Construction resumed after a one and a half month break, culminating in the construction of a tomb reflecting Tu Cuc's most extensive education in history, philosophy, literature, and art of all emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty.
