Two French experts from the ‘Econom’ Company specialized in documenting archeological heritage by modern technics have arrived in Damascus to offer support in documenting the Syrian heritage during the crisis.

The experts – Eve Obelman and Olivier Biurjois- will train a cadre for a year on how to convert photos from3D into 2D model by using Photo Scan program to form a national team to document archeological sites that have been damaged by terror attacks, according to the Tishreen newspaper.

The paper quoted sources in the Directorate-General of Antiques and Museums (DGAM) as saying that the cadre used the program in documenting artifacts and buildings in several areas in provinces of Damascus, Lattakia and Tartous.

About 40.000 photos were taken and the first stage of al-Hosn citadel project completed, the sources added, pointing out that the final results will be presented next March.

In another development, the DGAM confirmed the continuity of secretexcavations in several archeological sites in Idleb countryside, focusing on the illegal diggings in the south-western side of Citadel of St. Simeon and in the north-eastern side of the church of St. Takla in Aleppo countryside.
