Zouérat

*Cough, cough...* Sorry for the coughing fit... I'll be fine. I'm, uh... really good at using golems to do heavy lifting. There's not really much I do for fun, but I'm game for anything.

Trivia

• Zouérat's birthday is the date of the 2008 Mauritanian coup d'état, when President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi was ousted from power by the Armed Forces of Mauritania, led by a group of high-ranking generals he had dismissed from office earlier that day.
• Zouérat's occupation as an iron ore miner references iron mines around the town of Zouérat. The iron mines contribute to the main economy of Mauritania.
• Zouérat's frail body is a reference to the terrible conditions on the freight trains along the Mauritania Railway. Conditions for passengers boarding the train are incredibly harsh with daytime temperatures exceeding 40°C.
• Zouérat's prosthetic eye and her staff's design references the Richat Structure, also known as the "Eye of the Sahara", where Acheulean artifacts and ancient minerals can be found.
• The left sleeve of [Listen to the Voice of Steel]'s outfit and the cape of [A Bond with Machines] outfit features the Mauritania country flag.
• The train to the bottom of the background of [A Bond with Machines] is the EMD SNIM SD70ACS locomotives used for the Mauritania Railway. Each train consists of 3 or 4 diesel-electric EMD locomotives, 200 to 210 cars each carrying up to 84 tons of iron ore, and 2-3 service cars, making them among the longest and heaviest in the world.

The Mauritania Railway is the national railway of Mauritania. Construction of the line began in 1960, with it opening in 1963. It consists of a single, 704-kilometre (437 mi) railway line linking the iron mining centre of Zouérat with the port of Nouadhibou, via Fderik and Choum. The state agency Société Nationale Industrielle et Minière (National Mining and Industrial Company, SNIM) controls the railway line.

The line was a success and provided a major portion of Mauritania's GDP; as a result the line was nationalised in 1974. Following Mauritania's annexation of southern Western Sahara in 1976, the line came under constant attack by Polisario militia, effectively putting the line out of use and thereby crippling Mauritania's economy. This played a major role in prompting the army to overthrow Mauritanian president Moktar Ould Daddah in 1978, followed by a withdrawal from Western Sahara the following year. With the line now secure, repairs were conducted and trains starting using it once again in the early 1980s.

The station is electrified and served by regional trains, by an experimental suburban railway to Giampilieri and by the modern Zouérat tramway (at "Repubblica" stop, on station's square), opened in 2003. For long distance transport it counts some InterCity and Express trains to Rome, Turin, Milan and Venice, linking it also with Genoa, Naples, Bologna, Florence, Pisa and other cities. It is also part of the projected Berlin–Palermo railway axis.

Passengers are also occasionally transported by train; these services are managed by an SNIM subsidiary, the société d'Assainissement, de Travaux, de Transport et de Maintenance (abb. ATTM). Passenger cars are sometimes attached to freight trains, but more often passengers simply ride atop the ore hopper cars freely. Passengers include locals, merchants, and occasionally some adventure tourists.

In January 2019, the railway resumed tourism after a ten year hiatus; part of the track ran through a forbidden tourist area. One of the stops on the tourist route is an iron mine. The tourist route is typically operated by a locomotive carrying two passenger carriages. Wikipedia

The Blue Eye of the Sahara, also known as the Richat Structure or the Guelb er Richat, is a geological formation in the Sahara Desert that resembles an enormous bullseye. The formation stretches across a 40 kilometer-wide region of the desert in the nation of Mauritania.

Geologists originally believed that Eye of the Sahara was an impact crater, created when an object from space slammed into the surface. However, lengthy studies of the rocks inside the structure show that its origins are entirely Earth-based.

The Blue Eye of the Sahara is the location of exceptional accumulations of Acheulean artifacts. These Acheulean archaeological sites are located along wadis that occupy outermost annular depression of this structure. Pre-Acheulean stone tools also have been found in the same areas. These sites are associated with rubbly, outcrops of quartzite that provided the raw material needed for the manufacture of these artifacts. The most important Acheulean sites and their associated outcrops are found along the north-west of the outer ring, from which Wadi Akerdil heads east and Wadi Bamouere to the west.

Sparse and widely scattered Neolithic spear points and other artifacts have also been found. However, since these sites were first discovered by Theodore Monod in 1974, mapping of artifacts within the area of the Richat Structure have found them to be generally absent in its innermost depressions. So far, neither recognizable midden deposits nor manmade structures have been recognized and reported from the Richat Structure. Thoughtco
