" "The most dangerous thing in the desert is bad roads, and snakes are often found near monuments. I had a few unpleasant experiences with them. For example, in Dhambalin, I lay on my stomach to take pictures of the lower part of a panel with paintings. Suddenly I heard a hiss. There was a snake under a large rock next to my head. Terrified, I slowly started to move away on my stomach, and the equally scared snake disappeared between the rocks. Another time I almost peed on a rattlesnake well hidden in the sand. Since then, I have not gone out to the bush or the desert in the dark to urinate.

Additional quotes by Sada Mire
It was an incredible feeling just to stand in front of the paintings. Then I lay down to take photos and heard a snake breathing in my ear. My assistant told me he was thinking how he would cut off my arm, leg, or wherever to stop the poison if it attacked. I believe he would have done it. I didn’t tell my mother.

She didn't have much to say. Since I left Somalia, I've been in control of my own life. I was raised by my mother and grandmother. They were very beautiful and hard-working. They were also always in favor of women's emancipation. My mother was with me on my first trip in 2007. She didn't know anything about archaeology, but she was very helpful.
