Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities on Wednesday officially launched the “Project Revival” on Instagram, being implemented in partnership with the global technology company Meta in both the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.





The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said in a statement that the project aims to use augmented reality technology to provide an opportunity to view damaged statues in their full form by scanning a barcode installed under each statue, and to show the original appearance of a number of artifacts displayed at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.


The artifacts were carefully selected for the project to reflect the different historical eras of the ancient Egyptian civilization.


Its purpose aims to showcase the artifacts just as the ancient Egyptians made them thousands of years ago, by using specific smartphone applications.
