Satellite archaeologist + TED Prize winner

Satellite imagery is transforming archaeology, helping uncover ancient secrets hidden beneath layers of earth and time. By analyzing subtle changes in landscape color and texture, researchers pinpointed the lost Egyptian capital Itjtawy, buried deep under mud. Infrared photography revealed traces invisible to the naked eye, exposing cities lost for thousands of years. Training local scientists to use these tools brings new discoveries within reach for the next generation.
