Entrance to the cathedral from the southwest

FARAS 3D inventively combines archaeological data with modern audiovisual technology.

The presentation centers on the cathedral in Faras, which was the biggest discovery ever by Polish archaeologists abroad, and recalls the life and achievement of the discoverer, Professor Kazimierz Michałowski. A stereoscopic 3D image of the cathedral lets one explore the interior of a church that has now been submerged at the bottom of Lake Nasser for over half a century.
For the first time an ancient Nubian cathedral has been restored to life by modern animation and computer design.

A multimedia show Faras 3D is available at the Professor Michałowski Faras Gallery of the National Museum in Warsaw.
