Why CT Helps Archaeologists
Sarcophagi often contain fragile remains, artifacts, and inscriptions. CT imaging reveals internal layout, coffin construction, and hidden compartments. It can detect amulets, tools, and burial goods without disturbing the structure.
Detecting Hidden Details
CT exposes density differences that reveal carvings, pigments, and internal reinforcements.
Preserving Burial Integrity
CT allows researchers to study sarcophagi while keeping them sealed and intact.
A New Standard in Egyptology
Major museums now CT scan sarcophagi before any physical intervention.
