Egyptian Hieroglyphics Digitally Restored To Former Psychedelic Glory (Videos)
However, by studying first hand accounts of Egyptian explorers – such as early diagrams by Britain’s Aylward M. Blackman – and even the ancient civilisation’s fashion sense, experts have reimagined the mesmerizing colors which would have adorned the Temple of Dendur.
The 10 BC temple once sat on the banks of the River Nile, before a UNESCO salvage project rescued it from yearly flood damage in the 1960s. It was later given to the United States in 1965 by the Egyptian government and then donated to the Met museum two years later by US president Lyndon B. Johnson.
In an initiative aptly named ‘Color The Temple’, the Met MediaLab team have now used mapping technology and projected beams of light to brighten a scene of hieroglyphics that until recently had been nullified by beige Aeolian sandstone.
The markings depict Roman emperor Caesar Augustus, in full pharaoh dress, presenting wine to the god of the sky, Horus, and love goddess Hathor. As ruler of Egypt at the time, Augustus would have wanted his subjects to think of him as their pharaoh.
After consulting 19th and 20th century surveys of the building, the team of creatives at New York’s Met settled on a series of likely color patterns to overlay the symbols with pinpoint accuracy.
The result is about as trippy as watching a blue god take booze off a Roman emperor can get, with kaleidoscopic colors enhancing the previously faded symbols.
“Using relatively recent advances in software, we were able to experiment with restoration using nondestructive means (projected light rather than a material like paint) to temporarily display content with presenting any challenges for conservation,” a Met Museum blog post explains.

Well I’ll say this for them , they certainly WERE some colorful damn party animals weren’t they ?!!! They had great imaginations and a hell of a lot of spare time but they got tons of things accomplished and built some really WAY cool stuff that still seems to amaze and confuse a lot of people ! They MUST have had some GREAT drugs back then !!!
ja, they used to concentrae nicotine, and have a dose of cig x 50000 o mother glory,. a buzz we cannot even imagine, its high rish for fatality, and we cant make it with our modern tobacco, but, thats the only major diff, they had PUREST coke, they had opium, and hardcore shrooms. thats where that Law comes, DEATH to those who burn incence to false mighty ones!!! ie, one day, everyone who does not Praise YaHWeH for the weed He made, MUST DIE> ie all hippys must die, because they smoke weed, and do not honour He who Made it. and ima cut them, and gut them, and make yall watch
“… showing the time of the pharaohs in an incredibly detailed and colorful light.”
Is actually showing a scene from their mythology, in order left to right, Isis the mother of the world and all beasts, Osiris the dying sun, and their only begotten son called Horus who represents the renewal of life after it’s winter slumber. It’s a story of the macrocosm, of ice ages, their brief endings, and ultimate long term return. Osiris as the dying sun, rules our reality when he turns into El the god of gods, the brief but balanced sun, as the once and future king.
