©TPH Mini-Series✍🏾: PAST LIVES: "Similar graffiti has been reported elsewhere in Oman, suggesting a relatively widespread practice of inscribing ship graffiti within Omani military buildings," Professor Cooper said. "Set within the fort, the Gereza graffiti were not for public consumption in the way that they might have been had they been on the fort's outer faces, where people flocking to the busy Soko Uku market under its walls might have seen them, as would the families of Arab and Indian merchants and notables who built their houses around the fort "The graffiti must have been made for and by members of the community of the fort itself. Those in the southwest tower and the western ramparts of the Gereza must have been made by people with access to these more reserved upper reaches of the fort, probably Baluchi or slave soldiers garrisoned in the fort by Omani or Zanzibari sultans for much of the nineteenth century. They were probably made by people with time on their hands, soldiers on guard duty or spending their leisure time in the breezier upper reaches of the building. The Baluchi soldiers would themselves have arrived, and ultimately departed, by such ocean-going craft." #Graffiti #ZanzibarGraffiti #InternationalGraffiti #PhillyGraffiti #Graff #NewGraffiti #Vandals #InstagramGraffiti #ZanzibarBlue #PhillyGraffitiIdentity #GlobalGraffiti #ThePhiladelphiaHandstylez #ThePhiladelphiaHandstylezMovement #SupportTheMovement #HistoricGraffiti #GraffitiHistory 📸READ FULL ARTICLE HERE: https://phys.org/news/2022-05-historic-graffiti-soldiers-africa-maritime.html (at Zanzibar, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqcmr8WOWW5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
