I have just returned from 3 weeks in Sudan with the British Museum, photographing the Ancient Egyptian town of Amara West on the banks of the Nile. I have 180GB of photographs of the town which should allow me to recreate the entire town as a 3D pointcloud. Now for several weeks of processing...
I also have over 5000 aerial images from some very successful kite launches. The wind from the desert is very steady and constant- though at times too strong. This should allow me to build up an elevation map of the area and learn more about the ancient paleochannel of the Nile that once made the site an island. It could also help to spot further burial sites on what was the ancient mainland.
There are several posts on the British Museum blog (including one by me) about my work at Amara West
