#15 - We 3D Scanned Egypt’s Oldest Vases | Micron-Level Precision Rewrites History
Description
We brought a micron-accurate 3D scanner into the Petrie Museum to examine Egypt’s oldest stone vases—piece by piece, same setup, same pipeline. Are these artifacts truly hand-shaped… or do the numbers hint at something far more precise? Watch the scans, the heatmaps, and the side-by-side benchmarks—and decide with us.
