“MOGAMBO was designed to meet the owner’s requirements and, specifically, to enter the charter market. The outside areas are the best I have seen for that purpose. The superyacht is very comfortable at sea and quite fast. And as always, the engineering is first class - typically German. MOGAMBO is a good looking vessel, and the exterior finish is superb!” Philip Walsh, Captain

The word MOGAMBO is of African origin and means “the Great.” It fits this superyacht, delivered in 2012, perfectly.

It needs an extraordinary approach…

…to succeed in the luxurious world of exclusive charter yachts. The experienced team of Owner, designer and shipyard accomplished this for MOGAMBO.

The superyacht appears slender,…

…long and strong with a slight masculine touch, emphasized by the two-tone paintwork – the hull in mid-grey and the decks in snow-white.

It is the African angle…

…that forms the starting point for this superyacht that delicately combines classic warmth and ambiance with modern elegance, resulting in a sophisticated mix with a touch of glamour. And like her namesake, she too is aiming for adventure, setting out for remarkable journeys and supplying her guests every conceivable luxury.

…not only cuts a splendid figure above and below deck but thanks to NOBISKRUG’s naval architecture the superyacht also fulfils high demands at sea.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

A Bronze Age-style ship just sailed through the Persian Gulf 4,000 years after it was designed

Sign up for CNN’s Wonder Theory science newsletter.  Explore the universe with news on fascinating discoveries, scientific advancements and more .

Writings on an ancient clay tablet have allowed experts to reconstruct a Bronze Age ship made of reeds and sail it on a maiden voyage off the coast of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

The vessel, known as a Magan boat, spans 59 feet (18 meters) in length and was assembled by a team of 20 specialists using techniques that date back to 2100 BC, when the Persian Gulf became part of global maritime trade across the ancient world.

Magan was once the name for a region that now encompasses the UAE and Oman. Magan boats were large and strong enough to enable the exchange of goods such as copper, textiles and semiprecious stones 4,000 years ago between societies living in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley in what is now Iraq, Pakistan and India, respectively.

And now, archaeologists, anthropologists, engineers, scientists and digital humanities experts have proven that ancient shipbuilding techniques can result in a seaworthy vessel. It is the world’s largest reconstruction of a Bronze Age Magan boat, according to the team.

“We gained a much deeper knowledge of the materials used to build such boats to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of these revolutionary craft,” said Eric Staples, associate professor within the college of humanities and social sciences at Zayed University in Abu Dhabi, in a statement.

“We also gained a much deeper appreciation for the ingenuity and courage of the ancient shipbuilders and seafarers of the Bronze Age that built and sailed these vessels in the Bronze Age, connecting the first civilizations of the world in the process.”

The project to design, construct and sail the ship began in 2021 as a collaboration between the Zayed National Museum, New York University Abu Dhabi and Zayed University. The research project’s goals were to uncover ancient craftsmanship techniques, determine the connections between Bronze Age societies and better understand the role Abu Dhabi once played in Bronze Age trade.

Assembling an ancient vessel

Recent archaeological discoveries have shown that the island of Umm an-Nar, located off the coast of Abu Dhabi and once the largest ancient port in the region, played a key role in trade thousands of years ago.

Finds such as stone axes, copper fish hooks, grinding stones and pierced stone disks to weigh fishing nets, along with imported pottery vessels from Mesopotamia and South Asia, point to trade that occurred over long distances.

Researchers were also intrigued by a tablet on display at the British Museum, which came from the ancient Sumerian city of Girsu in what’s now Iraq. The tablet is essentially an invoice or dockyard order, written in Sumerian language, requesting large quantities of supplies needed to build the “boats of Magan.”

The list included palm fiber, goat hair, reeds, four types of wood, leather, palm leaf matting and palm rib decking, linseed oil, sesame oil, animal fat and a mineral called bitumen. The team behind the reconstruction used ancient illustrations of boats for reference and assembled a boat with the capacity to carry 36 tons (32,659 kilograms).

Like decoding an old recipe, the team put all the information from the list and their reference materials together to draw up a plan.

Shipwrights well-versed in historical replicas helped build the boat using hand tools without relying on modern advances or techniques. They constructed the ship’s outer hull using 15 tons (13,607 kilograms) of locally sourced reeds, which were soaked and stripped of their leaves before being crushed and tied in long bundles with rope made from palm fiber.

The shipbuilders then lashed dozens of bundles to wood frames, coating them in bitumen to help with waterproofing. Samples of bitumen also had been found on Umm an-Nar. Researchers came up with over 100 bitumen recipes to get the waterproofing technique just right.

The team also tested the strength of the ropes and reed bundles to determine how large they should be and carried out water immersion experiments to see how heavy the hull would become once it absorbed water.

The team was overjoyed by how well the ship fared when it finally took to the sea on March 2, said Robert B. Jackson, photographer and health and safety officer.

“For the first time in 4,000 years, a reed, wood, and bitumen merchant ship was sailing the waters of the Gulf,” Jackson said in a statement.

A historic crossing

The ship’s sail is made of goat hair and weighs 280 pounds (127 kilograms), which required more than 20 people to lift the sail and rigging to make up for the fact that pulleys didn’t exist during the Bronze Age.

“It has been a long and exciting journey from discovering ancient fragments of Magan boats on the island of Umm an-Nar to the iconic moment the boat’s goat hair sail was raised and she set sail from the coast of Abu Dhabi, traversing the same route these monumental vessels would have travelled 4,000 years ago towards the open sea and the coastline of India,” said Dr. Peter Magee, director of Zayed National Museum, in a statement.

Sea trials are designed to test the strength and limits of vessels. After passing five days of trials, the ship sailed toward Saadiyat Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi and the open sea on March 2 and 3. The boat covered 50 nautical miles (92.6 kilometers) and reached speeds of up to 6.4 miles per hour (5.6 knots).

Champion Emirati sailor Marwan Abdullah Al-Marzouqi was one of the ship’s captains during its sea trials. His family has been connected with the UAE’s maritime heritage for generations.

“When we first towed the boat out from the jetty, we were very careful,” Marzouqi said in a statement. “I was very aware it was made from only reeds, ropes and wood — there are no nails, no screws, no metal at all — and I was afraid of damaging her. But as we got under way, I soon realised that this was a strong boat. I was surprised by how this big boat, weighed down with a heavy ballast, moved so smoothly on the sea.”

The next voyage

Capt. Abdallah Alremaithi called the experience of sailing and navigating aboard the Magan boat “a journey through time” that made the challenges of ancient seafaring a reality, including how much effort it would have taken to sail such ships across the ocean.

Researcher Ayesha Almansoori, one of five women who sailed on the ship, called the final docking a “poignant moment” as the unique experience came to an end after years of bringing the vessel to life.

The project, which the pandemic initially delayed, faced multiple hurdles, said project manager Tayla Clelland, including the hunt for authentic materials and efforts to assemble them without any modern advancements.

Now that the ship has completed its sea trials and maiden voyage, it will be displayed at the Zayed National Museum, the UAE’s new national museum being constructed on Saadiyat Island.

The museum will include insights into the Persian Gulf’s maritime history and the cultural connections it enabled, and the ship and its journey “represents thousands of years of Emirati invention and exploration,” said Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of the Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi.

“I felt as though we were breathing life into history, bridging the gap between the distant past and the present,” Clelland said in a statement. “Seeing the Magan Boat sail on the water for the first time actually took my breath away and brought tears to my eyes.”

Beijing's 'monster ship,' the world's largest coastguard vessel, dropped anchor in the South China Sea

• China's largest coastguard ship dropped anchor in Manila's exclusive economic zone earlier this week.
• The vessel anchored there as "an intimidation," the Philippine Coast Guard said.
• Maritime relations between China and the Philippines have become increasingly tense in recent months.

The world's largest coastguard ship dropped anchor in Manila's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in the South China Sea earlier this week, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said.

Jay Tarriela, a spokesperson for the PCG, wrote on X that the authority had successfully tracked the movements of the China Coast Guard's (CCG) "165-meter monster ship" by "using Canada's Dark Vessel Detection technology."

"On July 1st, the ship departed from Hainan and entered the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) on the following day," he wrote.

The 12,000-ton CCG 5901 was later "radio challenged" by the PCG, which asked it to confirm its intentions and to remind it that it was operating within the EEZ, he added.

An exclusive economic zone is an area of the ocean "beyond a nation's territorial sea, within which a coastal nation has jurisdiction over both living and nonliving resources."

Tarriela wrote on Friday that the Chinese ship had been anchored at Escoda Shoal "for over two consecutive days" while "maintaining a close proximity" to a PCG vessel. He added that the distance between the ships was "less than 800 yards."

Tarriela later told a news forum that the Chinese vessel's moves were "an intimidation on the part of the China Coast Guard."

"We're not going to pull out and we're not going to be intimidated," he added.

Maritime run-ins between China and the Philippines are on the rise

China and the Philippines have had frequent confrontations around the Second Thomas Shoal, an atoll located within the exclusive economic zone.

Related stories

China claims sovereignty over the reef and most of the South China Sea, but an international tribunal ruled in 2016 that China's claims to waters within its " nine-dash line" had no legal basis .

The Philippines grounded a ship, the BRP Sierra Madre, on the reef in 1999 to state its own claims over the area.

But the Shoal remains what the Brussels-based think tank the International Crisis Group (ICG) has called a "dangerous flashpoint," as Chinese boats continually try to prevent efforts to resupply the grounded ship.

Earlier this month, the China Coast Guard blocked a resupply mission using "dangerous and deliberate use of water cannons, ramming, and blocking maneuvers," according to a statement provided to US Naval Institute News by a spokesperson for the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Officials from China and the Philippines met on Tuesday and said they aimed to "rebuild confidence" to help manage maritime disputes.

But the Philippines' Department of Foreign Affairs stressed that it would be "relentless in protecting its interests and upholding its sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction" in the South China Sea.

The ICG noted in May that "relations between the two countries in the maritime domain have never been as volatile as during the last seven months."
