1 CR093: Role of AI/Gen AI in cybersecurity with Corence Klop, Rabobank 44:18
Tomb with a View*
Manage episode 402718029 series 7331
A century ago, British archaeologist Howard Carter opened the only surviving intact tomb from ancient Egypt. Inside was the mummy of the boy king Tutankhamun, together with “wonderful things” including a solid gold mask.
Treasure from King Tut’s crypt has been viewed both in person and virtually by many people since. We ask what about Egyptian civilization so captivates us, thousands of years later. Also, how new technology from modern physics allows researchers to “X-Ray” the pyramids to find hidden chambers.
Guests:
Emma Bentley – Postgraduate student in Archeology and Ancient Worlds at the University of Edinburgh in the U.K.
Sarah Parcak – Archaeologist and Egyptologist, University of Alabama, and author of “Archaeology From Space: How the Future Shapes Our Past.”
Richard Kouzes – Physicist at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Salima Ikram – Professor of Egyptology at The American University in Cairo and head of the Animal Mummy Project at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
*Originally aired December 12, 2022
Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake
