Syria has struggled and been divided by a civil war for over a decade. Cultural heritage is part of human identity and needs to be protected and preserved for the sake of the Syrians and the international community alike. Memories of places and artefacts, social connection and peace can be built on heritage that is common and can be shared. This volume is based on the CIPA workshop organised during the 10th ICAANE held in Vienna in April 2016. The contributions collected therein discuss present challenges in the region and provide an overview of strategies and applications to use various techniques and methods to record and document heritage of Syria, also offering possible prospects for the future.

Seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt ringt Syrien mit einem verheerenden Bürgerkrieg. Die Bewahrung des kulturellen Erbes als Teil der menschlichen Identität und dessen Schutz im Interesse der Syrer:innen und der internationalen Gemeinschaft trägt dazu bei, die Erinnerungen an Orte und Artefakte, soziale Verbindungen und Frieden basierend auf einem gemeinsamen Erbe aufzubauen. Der vorliegende von Minna Silver herausgegebene Band basiert auf dem CIPA-Workshop, der während der 10. ICAANE im April 2016 in Wien stattfand. Die darin versammelten Beiträge diskutieren die gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen in der Region und geben einen Überblick über Strategien und Anwendungen zur Nutzung verschiedener Techniken und Methoden zur Erfassung und Dokumentation des syrischen Erbes und bieten somit auch mögliche Perspektiven für die Zukunft.

Abstract

During international dissents and conflicts, history is of no concern and heritage is not important. Wars leavedevastating marks on monuments and ancient cities and cause irreplaceable loss to global cultural treasures The GreatTemple of Bel in Palmyra was one of the latest (but not last) and most painful of such losses Before being blown up bythe jihadists of ISIS, the Temple of Bel was arguably the most renowned building in Syria It was the relic with whichPalmyra was associated It is to be hoped that its virtual reconstruction and preservation as a legacy in digital culturalheritage may provide some healing for the lost temple in memories The Great Temple of Bel can be virtually restoredto its former condition in Roman times By using information from ancient texts, lithographs, architectural drawingsand photographs as well as digital images, virtual models of the temple are created with the objective of restoring thepast sense of the architecture and the place.
