Hall of Offerings, East Wall C.1930

3D Model

Luxor Temple, Hall of Offerings, East Wall Circa C.1930

This model blends archival photographs taken by French Egyptologist Alexandre Moret with more recent documentation by the Epigraphic Survey to create a 3D model of the East Wall of the Hall of Offerings in Luxor Temple circa 1930.

This hybrid experiment was undertaken during the 2019/20 season by photographer Owen Murray, with the help of archivists Alain & Emmanuelle Arnaudiès and the archives of the Collège de France

Built in Agisoft Metashape, the model combines 27 B&W film negatives taken by A. Moret between 1914-1937 with 167 digital photographs taken by @ommphoto in 2018.
