via a CNN report:
By creating metrically accurate digital representations of African historical sites, the Zamani Project seeks to provide data for research and education, for restoration and conservation and to increase awareness of tangible cultural heritage in Africa and internationally. Through the documentation of heritage sites the Zamani project aims to make a contribution to the fight against the damage and destruction of sites through war, political unrest, vandalism, art theft, climate change, sea level rising, natural disasters and natural deterioration.
