Giza 3 D : Digital archaeology and scholarly access to the Giza
نویسنده
چکیده
The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. For the famous Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and surrounding tombs and temples, just west of modern Cairo (3rd millennium BCE), the Giza Project at Harvard University is blending older traditional archives (dig photos, archaeological drawings, object metadata) with realistic 3D visualization of the site. This marriage of old and new provides revolutionary access to Giza, its statues, hieroglyphic inscriptions, architecture, and wall decoration. Real-time immersive models allow us to pose new research questions, provide interactive classroom instruction, and investigate diachronic approaches to Giza's evolution over several millennia.

Effect of drought on apoplastic protein content, protein pattern, enzymic activiteis and minieral concentration of Vicia faba cv Giza 40 (relatively drought-tolerant) and Vicia faba cv Giza 667 (relatively drought-sensitive) was studied. While drought decreased Na, K, Ca concentration in leaf apoplast of Giza 40, it increased Na and Ca concentraion in case of Giza 667. Giza 40 has K:Na ratio hi...
