This is called Mudhif. It is made entirely from Reeds. Traditionally built by the Marsh Arabs of Southern Iraq.

Earliest archeological finding of this style is around 6000 BC

Today I was a speaker at the Iraq E-Gaming Expo, where I talked about why we should make games, and how?

It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. The audience were awesome.
