NMEC Dying House

3D Model

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) embraces at its western edge, an exclusive archeological dye-house that dates back to at least the first century of the Fatimid period (A.D. 969-1171). The archaeological dye-house layout consists of three double-eyed rows, with thirteen basins in each row. In addition, there are thirteen single basins on the northern side of the dye-house supported by a brick wall, inferring that very end of the dye house from this particular side. Moreover, each basis is constructed of small red bricks, separated by a 50 centimeters alley, while each group of basins are separated by an alley of 20 meters long. Furthermore, each basin is rounded in shape, with a diameter of about 80 centimeters, and a height of 70 centimeters. However, on the north side, ten rectangular basins standstill, as it was believed that these basins were used to set the dye, as the final step of the dyeing process. https://nmec.gov.eg/dying-house/ 2200 Images using Nikon D3100 + 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
