The study of ancient Egyptian monuments attracts the attention of experts from around the world. A recent event that confirms this is the discovery, using muon sensors, of previously unknown cavities in the Great Pyramid of Giza (or Khufu’s Pyramid). Since it is unfeasible to directly confirm this discovery by drilling, another independent non-destructive method is necessary to confirm this discovery and provide accurate determination of the locations and shapes of the cavities. Following a literature review of the different methods used in evaluating cultural objects, this paper analyses a possible framework for simulation of a holographic radar for detecting openings or other unknown structures of interest to archaeologists/Egyptologists and the public.

Abstract
The study of ancient Egyptian monuments attracts the attention of experts from around the world. A recent event that confirms this is the discovery, using muon sensors, of previously unknown cavities in the Great Pyramid of Giza (or Khufu’s Pyramid). Since it is unfeasible to directly confirm this discovery by drilling, another independent non-destructive method is necessary to confirm this discovery and provide accurate determination of the locations and shapes of the cavities. Following a literature review of the different methods used in evaluating cultural objects, this paper analyses a possible framework for simulation of a holographic radar for detecting openings or other unknown structures of interest to archaeologists/Egyptologists and the public.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
