Known gaps in the archive</h2>
Lost primary sources (2005–2012)</h3>
Al-Aous Publishers</a> hosted Bassel's original remodeling work. The project page states that source assets and models have since been lost</strong>. Current models are community re-creations from photos and archaeological sources — not direct continuations of Bassel's original files.</p>
2012–2015 documentation</h3>
Little on-site documentation exists for who did what between Bassel's arrest and the October 2015 launch. Press posts and Wikipedia are the best available sources.</p>
Model provenance</h3>
Eight monument models show completeness percentages (for example, Temple of Bel at 30%) but there is no per-model version history in the archive. Contributor attribution appears in scattered news posts only.</p>
Site silence (2021–2026)</h3>
No news was published here between September 2021 and this modernization effort. Work may have continued on Artifaq, Sketchfab, and Wikipedia without site updates.</p>
Translations</h3>
Arabic and other translations were planned under `L10n/</code> but are not in the current repository branch. They may exist in older git history.</p>`
`Photo collections</h3>`Community photos exist in 37 Flickr albums</a> and were also submitted via Artifaq. Overlap and deduplication between these collections is not fully documented.</p> Contributing corrections</h2> If you have primary sources, photos, or documentation that fill these gaps, email info@newpalmyra.org</a>.</p> Arch of Triumph 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 One of the most recognizable structures in the ancient city of Palmyra (تدمر) is the remarkable monumental arch (قوس النصر). Also known as the triumphal arch or victory arch, it was constructed during the reign of Emperor Septimius Severus, who ruled from 193 to 211. Despite being built more than a half century after Hadrian’s visit to the city, the monument is often erroneously referred to as Hadrian’s arch. It was restored in the 1930s.</p> The arch is particularly impressive from an architectural standpoint, addressing a problem somewhat unique to Palmyra (تدمر). The layout of this ancient city was unusual for the Roman period, as its main streets did not align with the four cardinal points of the compass. The monumental arch (قوس النصر) was constructed at the point of a thirty-degree turn in the main colonnade between the tetrapylon (التترابيل) and the Temple of Bel (معبد بل‎). To solve this problem, the arch incorporated two façades angled apart from one another. Only one of the original arched façades survive, but the overall design is still easy to appreciate. The arch is richly decorated with stone carvings, one of the most lavishly adorned monuments in the city.</p> Asad Al-Lat 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 This is the first statue made by #rsssd Re-Sculpting Syrian Statues Digitally, Asad Al-Lat statue were destroyed by Daesh terrorists in the ancient city of Palmyra, Syria along with most of the main world heritage ruins in the city.</p> Temple of Al-Lat 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 The temple was dedicated in c. 123–164 A.D. The cult statue was made with an appearance similar to statues of the Greek goddess Athena in Athens.</p> The temple was closed during the persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire in a campaign made by Maternus Cynegius, Praetorian Prefect of Oriens, between 25 May 385 to 19 March 388, when the altar of the temple was destroyed and the cult statue of Allat-Athena was decapitated and had the center of its face crushed.</p> Only a podium, a few columns, and the door frame remain. Inside the compound, a giant lion relief, the Asad Al-Lat</a>, was excavated and, in its original form, was a relief protruding from the temple compound's wall.</p> Temple of Baal Shamin 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 The Temple of Baalshamin was an ancient temple in the city of Palmyra, Syria, dedicated to the Canaanite sky deity Baalshamin. The temple's earliest phase dates to the late 2nd century BC; its altar was built in 115 AD, and the temple was substantially rebuilt in 131 AD. With the spreading of Christianity in the region in the 5th century AD, the temple was converted to a church.</p> In 2015, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant demolished the Temple of Baalshamin after capturing Palmyra during the Syrian Civil War.</p> Temple of Bel 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 The Temple of Bel, also known as the Temple of Baal, was an ancient temple located in Palmyra, Syria. The temple, consecrated to the Mesopotamian god Bel, worshipped at Palmyra in triad with the lunar god Aglibol and the sun god Yarhibol, formed the center of religious life in Palmyra and was dedicated in 32 AD. Its ruins were considered among the best preserved at Palmyra, until they were destroyed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in August 2015.</p> Tetrapylon 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 The Tetrapylon was erected during the renovations of Diocletian at the end of the third century. It is a square platform and each corner contains a grouping of four columns. Each column group supports a 150 tons cornice and contains a pedestal in its center that originally carried a statue. Out of sixteen columns, only one is original while the rest are from reconstruction work by the Syrian Directorate-General of Antiquities in 1963, using concrete. The original columns were brought from Egypt and carved out of pink granite.</p> Roman Theater 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 The Roman Theatre at Palmyra (Arabic: المسرح الروماني بتدمر‎) is a Roman theatre in ancient Palmyra in the Syrian Desert. The unfinished theatre dates back to the second-century CE Severan period. The theatre's remains have since been restored. It used to serve as a venue for the annual Palmyra festival, before the ancient town was taken by ISIL (May 2015).</p> Tower of Elahbel 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 The Elabel Tower was a four-story sandstone tomb, built around 103AD. It was important in the history of textiles: fragments of very early Chinese silk yarns, dated to the 1st century AD, were discovered in the tombs at the tower. The tower was demolished using explosives by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in August 2015.</p> The #PALMYRAVERSE Webring 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 From Missouri to Western Australia, dozens of towns and landmarks share the name Palmyra</strong>. #PALMYRAVERSE connects them — playfully but seriously — to the ancient Syrian city and to NEWPALMYRA's open models, photos, and archives.</p> Alessio Cordisco 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Anne Schneider 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Ayman Alalao 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Barry Threw 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Bassel Khartabil 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Christopher Adams 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Clément Renaud 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Dana Trometer 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Daria Tarara 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Dorotea Gucciardo 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Georges Dahdouh 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Giovanni De Gasperis 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Jim Ellis 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Jon Phillips 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Marin Pette 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Nicolas Asselin 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Sakyo K. 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Vassili Pommier 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Press Kit 2026-06-10T00:00:00+00:00 Use this page when writing about NEWPALMYRA.

Our announcement today is a drive to expand the project to other cultural heritage sites, and a pledge to open up the possibility of a future space where all may collaborate.”</p> In support of the ARTIFAQ launch, #NEWPALMYRA has partnered with the UCSD Digital Media Lab and CalIT2m to provide technology expertize and machine learning and artificial intellegnce capabilities to improve remodeling.</p> "But, you can help! Thankfully Notre Dame is one of the most photographed sites in the world, and together all of our images can help reconstruct 3D models of the building and all of its architectural features," said Threw.</p> The techonology developed by #NEWPALMYRA for the reconstruction of the endangered Syrian site, vastly destroyed by ISIS since 2015, can also be applied to other cultural heritage sites such as Notre Dame. ARTIFAQ is the engine that powers this work, with your submissions allowing researchers worldwide to study and rebuild the world's vital cultural heritage.</p> Community Photo Archive Opens on Flickr 2018-11-15T00:00:00+00:00 Archive note (2026):</strong> This milestone item was added to the news archive from project records during the site modernization.</p> </blockquote> In 2018</strong>, NEWPALMYRA organized a mass donation of more than 3,000 reference photographs</strong> of Palmyra from tourists, heritage professionals, and researchers.

It is a message to the world that cultural heritage is bigger than religious ideology, political boundaries, or war, and is part of the collective human experience shared by everyone on Earth.”</p> The #NEWPALMYRA project also announced that the open model will be 3D printed globally by its community, reaching more than 25,000 printers in 160 countries, supported by global 3D printing partners SketchFab, Hubs, Type A Machines, and Origin Base. The model is available for anyone to download and print at http://newpalmyra.org/printsprint.</p> The documentation of the printing from around the world will be shared online, tagged #3DPRINTSPRINT and #ARCHOFTRIUMPH. The results will be displayed at an art exhibition, “Protocultural Taipei: New Causes for the Old”, at the Taipei Contemporary Art Center, with an opening on Saturday, January 23rd, and show running until January 31st, 2016. All models and work from the exhibition will be released into the into the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero 1.0 license. </p> Creative Commons CEO, Ryan Merkley stated, “We're proud to see the release of the Arch of Triumph into the public domain. This act not only allows sharing freely with the world, it also preserves and digitally protects our cultural heritage. #NEWPALMYRA will live on for everyone as part of the Commons.”</p> “We call on all 3D printmakers around the world to participate in a mass global effort to synthesize the Arch of Triumph, by downloading the free and open source model, printing it, and documenting the object publicly online”, said Protocultural Taipei organizer, Christopher Adams. “The creative results will be exhibited along with other artworks celebrating cultural replenishment at the Taipei Contemporary Art Center.”</p> </div> </section> </div> Arch of Triumph Released for Global 3D Print Sprint 2016-01-18T00:00:00+00:00 Archive note (2026):</strong> This milestone item was added to the news archive from the original Print Sprint announcement during the site modernization.</p> </blockquote> San Francisco, CA — NEWPALMYRA publicly released its digitally recreated Arch of Triumph</strong> for download and 3D printing on 18 January 2016</strong>, inviting makers worldwide to print and share the monument under open licenses.</p> “The Arch of Triumph is a symbol of the indestructible cultural spirit of Syria,” said Interim Director Barry Threw.

Could Save Syria’s History From ISIS 2015-10-21T00:00:00+00:00 نماذج ثلاثية الأبعاد لناشط سوري معتقل قد تنقذ تاريخ سورية من داعش 2015-10-15T00:00:00+00:00 بدء باسل خرطبيل بصنع نماذج ثلاثية الأبعاد مصورة لمنطقة “تدمر” ذات الآثار القديمة، كان أمله أن يحافظ على أهم الكنوز الأثرية السورية. </p> بعد مرور عشر سنوات من بداية مشروعه، نجد باسل حاليا معتقل من قبل نظام الأسد ، وآثار تدمر تهدم تدريجيا على يد داعش والآن يأمل أصحاب باسل و زملائة النشطاء أن تنقذ النماذج ثلاثية الأبعاد ليست سورية فحسب بل باسل أيضا. </p> في يوم الأربعاء، مجموعة من الناشطين على الانترنت ، أُمناء الأرشيفات و علماء الآثار سينشرون أول مجموعة من الملفات من “مشروع تدمر الجديد” وهي مجموعة من النماذج ثلاثية الأبعاد المصورة على شكل المدينة التي وجدت في القرن الأول من الميلاد. </p> بنيت النماذج تلك على صور مأخوذة من قِبل باسل في سلسلة من الرحلات الى المناطق الأثرية التي بدأها في سنة ٢٠٠٥ تقول المجموعة المذكورة سابقا أن النماذج المصنوع بواسطة برنامج 'مايا' قابلة للتصور عن طريق الأنترنت او المشي من خلالها عن Oculus-style walkthroughs او حتى طباعة نسخ مصغرة بطابعات ثلاثية الأبعاد 3D printing. </p> تدعو المجموعة أي شخص لديه معلومات عن منطقة تدمر أن يشاركها في مستودعهم الألكتروني آملين أن يعيدوا بناء مجسم أكثر دقة للمدينة الأثرية. موعد نشر المجموعة لمشروعهم يأتي في وقت خطر على كل من منطقة تدمر و باسل قادم من الجهات المختلفة للحرب الأهلية السورية باسل خرطبيل هو كاتب مدونات و مبرمج و مساهم في موقع ويكيبيديا، سوري من أصل فلسطيني و هو ايضا مبتكر "Aiki Lab "معمل الهاكر الدمشقي. </p> اعتٌقل بلا مبرر في شوارع عاصمة سورية و سٌجن في بداية عام ٢٠١٢. بعد تسعة أشهر نُقل إلى سجن (عدرا) بجانب دمشق، المعروف باكتظاظه ، حتى الآن ، وبعد مرور ثلاث سنوات لا يزال باسل معتقل من قبل النظام السوري . </p> ولكنها تظل حاليا تحت سيطرة داعش منذ شهر آذار وفقا لمنظمة UNESCO منطقة تدمر تعتبر منطقة أثرية عالمية. </p> قتل المتطرفين الإرهابيين السكان، و دمروا مجموعة من معالم المنطقة الأثرية التي لا تقدر بثمن، باعتبارهم أنها أوثان مخالفة للدين. في بداية هذا الشهر حدث تفجير تلقى الكثير من الإنتباه، تم فيه هدم (أقواس النصر) وهو بناء يبلغ من العمر ألفين عام، عن طريق المتطرفين الارهابيين. </p> يريد مشروع تدمر الجديد ان يعيد بناء تلك المعالم إفتراضياً بسبب تحطيمها في الواقع، وبفعل ذلك، يطمح المشروع أن يجلب الإنتباه لصانعه على أمل ان يقوم نظام الأسد بإطلاق سراحه. </p> يقول مخرج المشروع باري ثاو و مبتكر البرنامج الأركيولوجي أوبسكورا ديجيتال “نريد أن نوضح أهمية باسل و منافعه للشعب السوري و الحكومة السورية ايضا كما قال " نريد أن نسلط الضوء على دور باسل في البناء الثقافي في سورية، ونتمنى ان يحث المفهوم هذا على إطلاق سراحه" </p> ولكن في الواقع، زاد وضع باسل سوءا في الأسابيع الماضية: في بداية أوكتوبر نُقل من سجن عدرا إلى سجن مجهول. تظن زوجة باسل، نورا غازي المحامية المتخصصة في حقوق الإنسان، انه نقل على يد الجيش السوري و انه قد يواجه تهمات في محكمة عسكرية سرية. اعطى باسل خاتم زواجه لسجين آخر ليحافظ عليه. تلك إشارة لنظرته التشائمية لا يعرف بالتحديد لماذا اعتقل النظام السوري باسل و لكن يقول دانى أوبرايان، الناشط في مؤسسة الحدود الإلكترونية ان النظام السوري لديه شك و خوف من حركة المعلومات الحرة و الأنترنت المفتوح و أي شحص لديه متابعة عالية فيه. </p> على الأرجح أن باسل، ذو الأصل الفلسطيني، اعتُقل لانتقاده لنظام الأسد على تويتر و متابعته للوضع السوري و تحديثه في ويكيبيديا و مدونته الشخصية. يقول أوبرايان إنه "قد يصعب تبرير لرئيس امن في دولة مثل سورية أهمية نشر المعلومات بلا قيود لمصلحة الإنسانية” </p> يضل أوبرايان متفائلا بأن الانتباه الخارجي لحالة باسل قد ينقذه. </p> قد يكون سبب انتقال باسل إلى سجن عدرا الأكثر أمانا هو المظاهرات و الإعتراضات في أول الشهور ضد حبسه في سجن سري. حينها إستطاعت زوجته بزيارته و مجموعات حقوق الإنسان إستطاعوا ان يتابعوا حالته. يأمل أوبرايان أن حركات المعارضه مثل توقيع عريضة لصالحه أو الإتصال بالسفارة السورية، ليس فقط من قبل الأمريكيين بل من دول أكثر تأثيرا على سوريا مثل روسيا او فينزويلا قد يضغط على نظام الأسد لاطلاق سراح باسل. يقول أوبرايان “الشيء الذي يبقي الأشخاص في موقف باسل حي، حر و بصحة جيدة هو إنتباه العالم. </p> أما إنقاذ تدمر فيبدو مستحيلا، على الأقل في هيئتها الملموسة. منذ سيطرتهم على المنطقة، بعثوا داعش فيها الدمار و الخراب. إنها منطقة مليئة بالآثار القديمة التي تعود للحضارة الرومانية والسامية التي حافضت على شكلها بسبب المناخ الصحراوي الجاف. </p> استخدم المتطرفين الإسلاميين المنطقة كقاعدة عسكرية و أعدموا فيها عشرات المواطنين و احتجزوا ظباط النظام السوري. كما انهم حطموا و دمروا أو حتى باعوا الآثار التي لا تتوافق مع نظرتهم الرجعية للإسلام . </p> يقول عمر العظم، بروفيسور سوري لمادة التاريخ في جامعة ولاية شاوني “داعش يبيعون ما يستطيعون و يدمرون ما لا يستطيعون ليبينوا سلطتهم التي لا حدود لها” يعمل ايضا البروفيسور عمر كمرشد لمشروع تدمر الجديد و يقول “هذا فعل يبعث رسالة قوية للغرب كما يشجع ناصروا داعش في المنطقة” </p> في الشهرين الماضيين، فجروا داعش معابد (بل) و (بال شمين)، اثنان من أقدم المباني في تدمر، و مؤخرا فجروا أقواس النصر التي بنيت من قبل اليونانيون للإحتفال بالإنتصار على الفرس. </p> عندما سُئِل عالِم الآثر المشهور الأستاذ خالد الأسعد ذو ٨٢ سنة أن يقود داعش إلى الآثار المخفية، رفض فعل ذلك ثم قُتل على يد داعش و عُلقت جثته المشوهة من إحدا عواميد المبنى. </p> ليست مجموعة مشروع تدمر الجديد المجموعة الوحيدة التي تحاول أن تصنح نماذج رقمية لإنقاذ كنوز الشرق الأوسط من قبضة داعش. </p> قامت مؤسسة أوكسفورد الرقمي بإطلاق قاعدة معلومات مليئة بالملايين من الصور و ترغب ان ترسل كاميرات ثلاثية الأبعاد بأسعار منخفضة للناشطين في سورية لتصوير و توثيق المعالم التي لم تدمر من قبل داعش. </p> مشروع آخر يأتي من اللاربحية التي تستخدم تكنولوجيا النسخ باللايزر لصنع نماذج دقيقة من الآثار المهددة “CyArk”مجموعة يعترف باري ثاو أن صور باسل ليست بكامل الدقة و أن النماذج التي عملت عليها مشروع دمر الجديد تميل إلى الفن و ليس العلم. ولكن نظرا إلى تدمير داعش في آخر شهرين، قد يجوز أن النماذج التي تعمل عليها المجموعة قد وثقت معالم فقدت في التاريخ. يقول شاو “ هذا المشروع يتمحور حول تحويل التحطيم الذي فعلته داعش إلى إعادة بناء في المساحة الإفتراضية” و يزيد على ذلك “إنها محاولة لإعادة إحياء هذه الحضارة بأساليب رقمية ولكن ثاو لا ينكر حقيقة أن نماذج تدمر تستخدم أيضا لإنقاذ باسل خرطبيل. يقول “ نريد أن نسلط الضوء على حالة باسل، بتسليط الضوء على العمل اللذي فعله لسورية، نريد إطلاق سراح باسل و نؤمن أن هذه هي أفضل طريقة” </p> Bassel Khartabil, prisonnier

و قد تم نقله مؤخرا من سجن عدرا نحو اللامعروف.</b> </p> باسل خرطبيل، 34 سنة، مدافع شرس عن شبكة عنكبوتية حرة و مشجع ثقافة المصادر المفتوحة. تم احتجازه بيوم 15 آذار 2012 في سجون النظام السوري لبشار الأسد. و حسب رأي مجموعة نشطاء اشتغلوا على موضوع الاعتقال التعسفي في دورته ال 72 و التي تم انعقادها في جنيف في نيسان 2015، فإن اعتقاله تم نتيجة "ممارسته لحقه في حرية التعبير و دعوته لاستعمال غير مقيد للإنترنت". </p> نقل باسل يوم 3 تشرين الأول 2015 من سجن عدرا المتواجد شمال شرق مدينة دمشق، والذي كان محتجزا فيه منذ كانون الأول لسنة 2012، إلى وجهة مجهولة، ربما لكي تتم محاكمته. متهم دون أي أدلة موثوقة ضده، لقد أضحى باسل اليوم في خطر أكثر من أي وقت مضى. </p> مهندس برمجيات و مطور ويب معترف به دوليا لمساهماته في كبريات مشاريع المصادر المفتوحة كال موزيلا فاير فوكس، ويكيبيديا و كرياتيف كومونس، شارك باسل في أعمال محلية مؤسسا بذلك الآيكي لاب ب دمشق (Aiki Lab) ، و هو مكان خصصه للممارسات الفنية الرقمية وتعليم التكنولوجيات التعاونية.ونتيجة أعماله، تم إختياره من قبل موقع Foreign Policyالشهير ( المساند

1972 </p> سجنه و نقله مؤخرا يقلقان جدا نشطاء حقوق الإنسان و المدافعين عن الحريات و الحق في التعبير عن الرأي و الفكر. </p> و قد نقل عن مديرة ال Electronic Frontier Foundation عقب تفشي الفاجعة، التغريدة الآتية عبر التويتر : </p> " ندرك أن توقيع العرائض لن يقنع سوريا أو ايا كان، و لكنها الوسيلة الوحيدة التي نملكها في الوقت الراهن. ساعدونا لإيصال صوتنا لإنقاذ حياة باسل و ضمان سلامته " </p> We know petitions won't convince Syria (or anyone) but it's all we've got. Please help get the word out so Bassel stays safe. </p> — Chillian J. Yikes! (@jilliancyork) 3 Octobre 2015</a> </blockquote>
