kou aan de grond
de eerste kou aan de grond hier in Qatar goed gevoeld
eigen schuld
we besloten plotseling twee tochtjes te combineren tot een.
en dus ook overnachten.
ter plekke bleken we de stokken van de tent vergeten..............
dus de stoeltjes als tentstok en de buitentent als extra deken.
was nodig want direct na zonsopkomst was het slechts 14 graden.
en was alles drijf nat.
dauw.
daardoor was alle groen wel mooi fris en schoon.
en waren we lekker op tijd bij de oude markeringen en tekeningen: petroglyphs
The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning "stone" and glyphein meaning "to carve" (it was originally coined in French as pétroglyphe).

The Al-Jassasiya site is one of the most mysterious and attractive sites in Qatar. Northeast of Doha, it is one of the few places where you can find petroglyphs, which are collections of rare and amazing signs carved in stone. Carvings can be found at other sites, however those found at Al-Jassasiya are considered the most extraordinary in terms of both their quality and their state of preservation.
An astounding 900 glyphs can be found at Al-Jassasiya. Shapes vary from geometric patterns to representations of animals and boats found on two parallel “jebels,” which are outcrops of fossil and sand dunes.
Seventy-one daisy shaped patterns made up of nine small holes around a larger central hole also exist. Some believe they were used for a game called “ailah,” known as “umm al-judairah” in Kuwait and Bahrain.
The most common outlines are double rows of seven to nine shapes that look like cups (333 in total, 193 with seven cups). These cups are believed to have been used for another game called “haloosa” or “huwaila”. It is known in West Africa as “mandala”.
Similar carved rows dating back to the 15th century BC can be found in the temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt, and others dating back to the 5th century BC can be found in the same place........................
prachtig om te zien en de kou wel waard.
ps.
ook de snorkels niet bij ons wel flippers. dus de volgende keer iets beterinpakken om niet te snel weg te wezen. Kan 'ie maatje? Inpakken en wegwezen.
