QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.
A board game for two, known in English as nine men’s morris: three nested squares joined by lines give twenty-four points, on which each player places nine pieces, small stones or fruit pits, trying to line up three in a row and so take one of the other’s. Boards cut in stone from the Roman and Byzantine periods have been found in Palestine, and the game is still played.
