Virtuelle 3D Rekonstruktion : Der Tempel Amenophis‘ III. als Teil der sakralen Landschaft Nubiens

A virtual 3D reconstruction of the lost Temple of Amenhotep III, part of Nubia's sacred landscape, reveals its significance within the ritual geography of Lower Nubia and restores its geometry digitally. The temple, built in the 14th century BCE along the Nile's banks near modern-day Aswan, was submerged during the construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s. This interdisciplinary project, led by Prof. Dr. Martina Ullmann, combines expertise from Egyptology, conservation, imaging techniques, and monument sciences to analyze, document, and conserve seven large-scale wall paintings from its sanctuary while reconstructing its original form. The study also highlights the broader impact of the UNESCO-led Nubian Campaign, which saved numerous temples, including Abu Simbel, and led to the adoption of the Venice Charter (1964) and the founding of ICOMOS in 1965.
