Last month, Philippe Walter, director of the LAMS (Laboratory of Molecular and Structural Archaeology) and scientific advisor at Lumetis, visited the tomb of Pharaoh Thutmose with Lumetis instruments. A report showcasing the significant benefits of our tools for archaeological investigations, especially in the analysis of rock art and artistic practices.
Today, we are excited to share an exclusive preview of the footage captured inside the Pharaoh’s tomb!
The results surpassed our expectations and are unmatched in the field of technical instrumentation. Images captured on-site, using dark field, ultraviolet fluorescence, and infrared (950 nm) imaging, confirm that our tools – true portable and multimodal laboratory – are completely independent of ambient lighting and enable the acquisition of unparalleled in-situ images.
The images are under analysis, and we are confident that they will contribute to advancing research in the coming months.
