揭开古埃及神父的坟墓

遗产地点的数字文档是记录考古纪念碑的实际状况并促进专家为全面的保护计划的决策的基本步骤。

自2005年以来，TT39的墨西哥考古使命同意了一项不寻常但令人惊讶的提议，以调查，挖掘和恢复Puimra的法族墓，可追溯到公元前1500年。在埃及卢克索。墨西哥团队在卢克索的目标是翻新和记录埃及最重要的未修复的埋葬室之一，并向公众打开大门。

在Leica BLK360成像激光扫描仪和Leica Cyclone3D point cloud processing software, the team was able to carry out a precise survey of all underground chambers, exterior surroundings and detailed carvings and paintings on the walls. The digitalisation and restoration of the extensive tomb not only helped preserve the site for future generations but shed light on the reign of one of Egypt's few female pharaohs, Queen Hatshepsut.

展开一个雄心勃勃的恢复项目

的坟墓Puimra可以追溯到的统治时代Queen Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III (circa 1478 – 1500 B.C.). Puimra was among the highly-respected magistrates, because as the second priest of the god Amun ─ a major ancient Egyptian deity ─ he participated in the construction of Queen Hatshepsut’s temples.

Puimra’s important role in the kingdom was not only manifested in the size and complexity of his burial tomb but his life was also depicted on the walls, located in Khokha, in the Theban Necropolis. The tomb was built as a series of underground chambers and tunnels, called矮人用门廊连接到立面连接，并用石碑，假壁壁和低浮雕的踢脚板装饰。

墨西哥考古任务的主要目的是恢复这座建筑复杂的坟墓，危险崩溃并永远消失。来自不同墨西哥机构的几个墨西哥考古学，建筑，绘画修复，象形文字铭文和摄影专家的共同努力Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia（inah），秘书处的外部和Systop由墨西哥考古任务主任加布里埃拉·阿拉奇·韦尔蒂斯（Gabriela ArracheVértiz）领导。该项目得到了Inah的Restorers and Leica Geosystems设备专家Manuel VillarruelVázquez和Angel Mora Flores的支持。

“Leica Geosystems’ 3D scanning technology facilitated the conservation of pharaonic heritage and helped to leave its legacy for future generations”highlighted Arrache Vértiz.

The archaeological mission started in 2005 and continues until today. Year by year the team is closer to fulfil the following goals:

• Conduct a full survey of the tomb.
• Analyse and diagnose the damages.
• Design a conservation plan and develop the different phases of the restoration work.
• 题生分析。
• 装饰墙壁，天花板和保险库的整合和恢复。
• Restoration of bas relief carvings.
• 使用3D激光扫描技术将现代方法整合到建筑和题词调查中，以阐明恶化过程，并作为未来研究的基础。
• 促进创建文化和教育计划，包括基于3D调查的印刷和数字文件。

Collecting the tiniest details with the BLK360

2018年,前届e team could begin the reconstruction and consolidation of the original walls, vaults and ceilings, INAH’s experts had to survey and document all chambers and the exterior of the tomb to the finest detail.

“As some members of the team had more than 12 years of experience using Leica Geosystems equipment, we had no doubt we needed the BLK360, a laser scanning solution to achieve the highest quality and precision,”来自伊纳（Inah）建筑修复团队的协调员VillarruelVázquez说。

在BLK360 imaging laser scanner and Cyclone 3D point cloud processing software, the team was able to capture every little detail of the walls and vaults. The comprehensive point clouds made it possible to analyse the paintings, the engraved epigraphy and the subtle synthesis of the architectural features of the funerary chambers. The wall carvings and paintings depicting the life of the priest, is helping researchers to reconstruct ancient life, craftsmanship and customs, digitalising cultural manifestations.

Point clouds and spherical images were collected to a digital database, including floor plans, 3D models and architectural plans. The lost segments of the walls, vaults and structural cracks were, in addition, registered and digitally documented for further reconstruction and research.

在激光扫描的帮助下为子孙后代留下遗产

The use of advanced 3D reality capture technology, just like the BLK360 and Cyclone software, in a heritage preservation project is a milestone for Mexican archaeologists. The data collected with the 3D reality capture solution will help INAH’s team of researchers, architects and archaeologists assess the level of damage and plan the restoration process of Puimra’s tomb in Egypt for the next work seasons.

得益于获得的结果的高可靠性以及BLK360的长期低成本，Leica Geosystems的激光扫描技术将被使用，直到完成修复项目完成为止。
