Free Public Lecture
Yukinori Kawae, Research Fellow, Research Center for Cultural Heritage and Text, Graduate School of Letters, Nagoya University, Japan
Current studies of pyramids in the Memphis area of ancient Egypt are being conducted from multiple perspectives, and archaeological data about them is now available from both texts and excavations. The survey data of the pyramids, however, has rarely been updated. Yukinori Kawae will provide historical insights on the development of pyramid construction methods and discuss how a Japanese consortium is using 3D documentation to update survey data in collaboration with the Japanese production company, TV MAN UNION, using drones and Global Navigation Satellite System equipment.
Free event parking at 52 Oxford Street Garage.
