Udhruh Oral History Project Interview 8

Interview with Ghandwur Harwun. Voice recording and transcription incomplete: all information is available in the notes. No pictures available. Ghandwur is a teacher at Jamiylah's women's-center. She remembers previous excavations at the site and the discovery of two mummies. She comments on these excavations taking objects from the site, and mentions the importance of keeping finds in Udhruh. She says that many stories of what can be found are based on myths, for example the myth that there is a lot of gold in the ground, because when the war started people burried their gold. But myths are not important because they have no scientific value. She went to school in Udhruh and then to Ma'an to continue her education. She would like to know more scientific information about the archaeological site, and more attention for the past of Udhruh in school programs. " The one who has no past has no future."
