THE FUTURE OF BABYLON PROJECT.

➡️ An article from 2022: "Babylon is coming back to life, with its famed Ishtar Gate to be restored by this summer" by Hadani Ditmars.

"The new initiative is part of the WMF’s 15-year commitment to conservation efforts as part of its Future of Babylon project, initiated in 2008. Collaborating with the Iraqi State Board of Antiquities and Heritage (SBAH) until 2015, the WMF performed extensive surveys and documentation and developed conservation plans. The organisation also assisted with a Unesco World Heritage nomination for Babylon that culminated in its inscription in July 2019 and helped with the conservation and stabilisation of the Lion of Babylon. The projects at the Ishtar Gate and Ninmakh Temple, launched in 2016 and 2019 respectively, will be the beneficiaries of the US embassy funding".

Die Menschheit ist pervers. Nicht nur bei der #WMF, wir sehen die Staaten am Golf ja auch als Retter für unseren Energiebedarf.

As a collection of human knowledge #Wikipedia should be liberated using Ward Cunningham's federated wiki concept. Of course then the #WMF would be unnecessary and would lose that sweet sweet cash so not ever gonna be something they promote.
