Hukuru Miskiyy - Keela (HAF-KLA-2)

The 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, a Nikon D750, and a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone for photogrammetry. The beautiful Hukuru Miskiiy is a coral stone mosque built by Sultan Muhammad Ibn Ali Thukkala (1692-1701). The red and black lacquered woodwork of the interor features Arabic calligraphy. This mosque has been renovated from time to time and still requires significant maintenance and preservation.
