Saharan Village Is Home to Thousands of Ancient Texts

I am so confused by this article... are all the images just rando stock photos that someone thought would be relevant? It really detracts from the actual meat of the article to have them there.

I passed through Chingutti about six years ago and believe I recognize the librarian. That’s certainly Mauritanian garb. Let me see if I’ve got pictures available online; will reply here in a bit if so.

Also posted this at the top of comment hierarchy. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmGcnZEY Pretty sure that's the same librarian; I'm squinting and mentally adding six years.

Yeah they're nice photos but ... how relevant are they?

The tech blog style of stupid gifs is less distracting than content that I can't tell if it the thing or not.
