Dhandimagu Miskiyy (GNI-DDM-5 )

Maldives Heritage Survey works to systematically inventory and digitally document the endangered cultural heritage of the Maldives. The materials documented through this work are critically endangered, facing both natural and human threats that jeopardize the survival and accessibility of historical information for this vital node in pre-modern global economic and religious networks at the cross-roads of an interconnected Indian Ocean world. The data made available here was collected by our Field Team using a FARO Focus S350 Lidar scanner and Drone DJI Phantom 4 Pr for photogrammetry). Dhandimagu Miskiyy is believed to be the central early mosque of the island. I was originally floored with white sand, direclty on top of which woven palm mats were placed at prayer times. The stone flooring was added later as part of the extensive renovations and reconstrcutions of the building over the centuries.
