Unbiased Anthropology in Cyprus, Lebanon & Armenia
Donation protected
For those not aware, I am a renowned forensic anthropologist and independent journalist with dozens of publications. My focus is to be a humanitarian and that’s why I started my own NGO, the ROW Initiative to show how all life on earth is equal and that every person deserves to have their voice told in this world. I have become distraught and dismayed by the lack of inaction by world bodies in regards to escalation in Cyprus, war in Armenia, Ethiopia, Syria, and Yemen, and lack of caring for the collapse of Lebanon, Libya, and other nations. As someone who used to work for the UN and other federal contractors, which some of my work was restricted, I have decided to take matters myself and do my work to independent anthropology and journalism.
For my coming fieldwork this year, I am planning on field work in Cyprus and Lebanon.
Below and attached include some of the work I’ve conducted, including field work in Crete, where I studied if anyone would like a reference to my background:

For the field work I’d like to conduct in Cyprus, it would be three parts:
1. The rich cultural history, especially Greek Cypriot and Roman history in Cyprus.
2. The origins that led to the 1974 invasion, something most people don’t even know, such as the British and CIA instigating the conflict for geopolitical purposes during the Cold War.
3. The cultural destruction of Hellenic history and Greek Orthodox icons and churches in Cyprus, including Erdogan attempting to create a two state solution on top of Greek homes. I’d love to interview displaced Cypriots as well to have their thoughts on this, along with the invasion.
For my field work in Lebanon, I am hoping to be there for the one year anniversary of the Beirut Blast and interview locals on how they feel about their inept government and the economic strain. I also will be there to do archaeology and document the ancient Phoenician remains and Greco-Roman Heritage. Since I’m currently an editor for the Middle East Journal, I’d like to express the true culture and history of the region.
