UrukIn discussing the origin of Cities, Marc Van de Mieroop says that Uruk, which gave its name to the Uruk period, was essentially "the first city inworld history." This is not precisely a statement of its antiquity, as Eridu most likely.

The earliest discovered remains from a reed boat are 7000 years old, found in Kuwait. Reed boats are depicted in early petroglyphs and were common in Ancient Egypt. A famous example is thebulrushes in which the baby Moses was set afloat. They were also constructed from early times in Peru and Bolivia, and boats with remarkedly similar design have been found in Easter Islandstill used in Peru, Bolivia, Ethiopia, and until recently in Corfu.
Heyerdahl wanted to demonstrate that ancient Mediterranean or African people could have crossed the Atlantic and reached the Americas by sailing with the Canary Current.

In 1969, Heyerdahl constructed a reed boat he named Ra after the ancient Egyptian sun god. Its design was based on ancient Egyptian models and drawings.
Ra II reed boat
The boat was built by boatmen from Lake Chad in theRepublic of Chad with papyrus reeds from Lake Tana in Ethiopia. It was launched off the coast ofMorocco, and set sail in an attempt to cross the Atlantic.After several weeks, its crew modified the vessel in a manner that caused Ra to sag and take on water. Eventually Ra broke apart and was abandoned.
The following year, Heyerdahl organised the building of another similar boat, the Ra II.
Boat builders from Lake Titicaca built this in Bolivia. Again, the vessel set sail from Morocco, succeeding this time and reaching Barbados.

In 1978, Heyerdahl constructed a third reed boat, the Tigris. The purpose of building this vessel was to demonstrate that Mesopotamia could have been linked through trade and migration to the

at the wars that were then raging everywhere around the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.

READ MORE Ship Technology Unit | Narayanan | Centre for Heritage StudiesKOZHIKODE: Efforts to revive the age‐old tradition of building dhows (Uru), by imparting training in heritage shipbuilding technologies havecome to a halt following the decision of the governing body of the Centre for Heritage Studies (CHS) to scrap the courses and trainingprogramme conducted at the Heritage Ship Technology Unit, Beypore.The governing body citing grave irregularities in the conduct of courses and closed the unit on February 2012. The unit offered PG certificate courses on heritage ship technology at a rented building at Beypore. A temporary shipbuilding unit was also set up at Beypore forimparting training to the students.
The unit was launched in 2010 with the consent of the ministry of cultural affairs to spread the glory of dhow building heritage of Beypore.Former vice‐chancellor of Calicut University K K N Kurup was the director general of CHS during the commencement of the course. Fortystudents were enrolled in the first batch and a total of Rs 20 lakh was spent for the commencement of the courses.
The governing body also decided to stop all recurring payments, except the wages to the watchman, and to terminate the service of thetemporary staff.
Explaining the reasons for the discontinuation of the courses, director general of CHS M G S Narayanan said CHS is a body entrusted withheritage studies. "As we do not have the infrastructure and backing of engineering staff to carry out construction, we decided to stop thefunctioning of Ship Technology Unit," he said.
It was also alleged that there was no need to open a shipbuilding centre to train students as large number of private parties own shipbuildingyards, which could have been utilized as training grounds.
Meanwhile, responding to the allegation that the former governing body had appointed unqualified trainers, K K N Kurup said the entire facultyat the institute was highly qualified and competent. "Mechanical engineers and guest faculty from National Institute of Technology andengineering colleges handled classes."

"O P Aandikkutty, a master craftsman of dhows who died recently and his brother Narayanan were guiding the students on the traditionalaspects of dhow building," he said. "Besides, a master carpenter was appointed to train students on wooden works."
"Whatever be the claims, the aim to retain the tradition of Beypore has gone futile thanks to the apathy of the present governing body," saidKurup.
