Our mission
We seek to understand the intelligence of past cultures to imagine desirable futures
Our vision
We believe that ancient cultures deserve to be studied from many different angles. We believe in the synergy of expertise and cross-disciplinary viewpoints
Our ambition
We seek to turn past cultures into a lever for pride, social cohesion and economic growth among local populations
Our Strengths
At About Heritage,
we have a cross-disciplinary
vison of cultural heritage
From and exhibition to renovation and training for local players, we are involved in the full value chain. Our aim is to help local populations reclaim the culture of their past.
Cross-cultural expertise
We put together teams of well-known international experts to approach our projects from different angles.
AI and data
We use the latest technologies to speed up research and better index our data.
Young talent first and foremost
With respect for local populations in mind, we work with local and international students to train them in our professions and turn them into archaeological experts.
Our values
RESPECT
We come from the desert.
(Syria)
Our deepest roots lie in desert civilizations. Arid environments are an integral part of our DNA, having been raised in Palmyra Syria, then developed in the writings of Jordanian and Saudi nomads.
SHARING
We believe that culture is the bond
that joins people together.
That’s why we believe our discoveries should be shared and passed on.
And that’s why we offer heritage preservation tools (digital or physical) to give these cultures a means of protecting this common identity.
INNOVATION
We believe in innovation
to speed up our work.
We believe in the latest technologies.
We believe in cross-fertilization to innovate and find new approaches.
We believe that archaeology must look forward to desirable futures.
