Profile
Archaeologist, Egyptologist, the 2016-class Emerging Explorer of National Geographic Society, I started my academic career as a member of Ancient Egypt Research Associates, Inc. (U.S.A) led by Dr.Mark Lehner. Since the earliest stage of the introduction of 3D technology in the field of Egyptian archaeology, I became engaging 3D surveys of ancient megalithic structures. In 2006, I joined an interdisciplinary research project to complete 3D surveys of the tomb of Queen Khentkawes [I] and the Worker’s Cemetery at Giza. In 2008, upon the request of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities (presently the Ministry of State for Antiquities in Egypt), I formed an industry-academic-government project and successfully completed comprehensive 3D documentation of Egypt’s oldest pyramid (the Step Pyramid at Saqqara) under restoration. In 2013, I expanded the collaborative research to include a Japanese TV production company. With a crew from TV Man Union, I climbed the northeast corner of the great pyramid of King Khufu to film two open spaces, “notch” and “cave.” From the video footage, my 3D team has produced, albeit in a small area, the first record of the actual structure of the great pyramid’s core by using Structure from Motion technique. Currently, working with the Czech Institute of Egyptology led by Dr. Miroslav Barta, I am leading an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates computer science and applied mathematics to record pyramids at Abusir, the royal cemetery from the fifth dynasty (c. 2435-2306 BCE), located 11km south of Giza.

    In this study, my team has carried out a 3D measurement survey of the Sphinx and the Sphinx Temple embedded in the Pyramid complex of King Khafre of the Fourth Dynasty (c. 2472-2448 BC) of the Old Kingdom, located on the Giza Plateau, and also of the unfinished royal tomb of King Raneferef of the Fifth Dynasty (c. 2404 BC), built at Abshir, 11 km south of the Giza site. In addition, the production of the 3D data of the three Great Pyramids of Giza obtained and the analysis of these data have enabled us to present quantitatively that the slope "seked 2" is used for the internal structure and "seked 5 1/2" for the external.
    These data eventually constituted an online archive using "BOX", a cloud storage service, in an attempt to centralise the data.

    This study revealed that local researchers could collect image data of cultural property for the image archival system in the crisis of the cultural property in Egypt. Although the archival system in Internet cloud still a work in progress, our study can also show that the establishment of the system is feasible. In addition, this system can be applied on not only small objects but also medium scale object/archaeological site, and a large-scale archaeological site such as a pyramid. The image archival system can be applied to laser scanners jointly. Particularly, with mathematical optimization (quantitatively modeled strategy), the archival work is more appropriate.
