Nesyamun: Ancient Egyptian Priest at the Temple of Karnak
To aid the presentation of the coffins of Nesyamun, held by Leeds Museum, a digital interactive with an accompanying book was produced, with funding provided by the Leeds Philosophical & Literary Society.
Stimulating Academic Study:
The work was done in cooperation with an Egyptologist who produced fresh research upon the provenance of the coffin and also a complete translation of the hieroglyphs upon the coffin.
Utilising Digital Technologies:
The interactive employs video, 360 degree images, high quality slide photographs, professional sound recording, and 3D animation – which together with professional coding – forms a coherent and educational interactive.
Aiding Interpretation, Research and Preservation:
The final result is a digital interactive that enables the viewer to read the translation of the hieroglyphs alongisde strikingly well preserved images upon the coffin, which survive as a remarkable work of art in their own right.
