Egyptian Pyramids Being Found by Satellite Infrared Imaging!

 


Dear Commons Community,

While most of the recent news coming out of Egypt is about demonstrations, a recent BBC documentary focused on how satellite infrared imaging is being used by archeologists to discover ancient pyramids and entire cities.  Below are two brief videos that give a sense of the technique and the new findings that are occurring even as Egypt redefines its political system.   Dr. Sara Parcak from the University of Alabama is quoted in these videos and explains the importance of this technology.
