Team's re-creation of ancient Karnak brings history of pharaohs to life


After being crowned one of ancient Egypt’s rare female pharaohs, Queen Hatshepsut renovated a coronation hall lined with statuary depicting her father, her highly regarded predecessor, as a god. In the center of the hall, she installed two 10-story red granite obelisks and a beautiful red quartzite chapel inscribed with images of herself erecting the colossal obelisks

That's a coincidence: a friend of mine, a professional computer graphics animator (age 70...), also made a fly-through of the same temple (for a TV commercial), about 6 years ago. In full color, as it must have been when Hatshepsut built it!
I'll see if I can find it.
