An aerial view of the desert kit represented in the monolith map. It shows a vast enclosure and, on the periphery, the small pits of the kite. The landscape is monochromatic, dominated by shades of light brown, tan, and beige, when the ground texture is rough and uneven, scattered with small rocks, gravel, and scrub. A graphical scale bar is visible in the bottom left corner, marking increments of 0, 50, and 100 meters.

A 3D model of the monolith engraved with the oldest map ever drawn. 4 four different columns represent different angles of the monolith. An interpretative sketch, mainly visible in the 2nd centre left column, has been drawn by researchers. It’s a complex geometric shape representing a ‘desert kite’, structured as a corridor (at the bottom of the monolith) leading up to a large enclosure that opens onto several pits (small round shapes in the drawing). The 3D model is represented in a stippled (dot-based) shading technique, emulating the rough texture of the stone in greyscale, while the interpretative sketch is highlighted with black outlines.

A photograph of the monolith engraved with the oldest map ever drawn. It’s a substantial rectangular pillar with a weathered, porous surface characteristic of limestone, and it's standing upright in an arid, desert landscape. A red and white metric scale ruler is positioned alongside for size reference.

Gaza's Yellow Line: Where Genocide is Internationally Acceptable
The western part (around 42% of the Strip): where over two million people are allowed to live.
Even here, Palestinians face death from near-daily Israeli attacks, starvation, and disease, stripped of all necessities for survival.

It's deliberately vague and ever-shifting: The Yellow Line changes daily; even Israel's maps do not match the concrete barriers

The Yellow Line has already advanced 940m beyond all published maps.

The eastern part (around 58% of the Strip): a military blackout zone. To establish it, entire towns and neighbourhoods were destroyed and the population was forcibly displaced. Palestinians are prevented from returning, attempts to return are met with lethal force.

The dangerous reality: Inside the Yellow Line, killings, demolitions, expulsions, and permanent dispossession are treated not as crimes, but as part of the "implementation of the peace plan".
