An ancient Egyptian painting is so detailed, researchers can determine which species of birds were featured in it.
An ancient Egyptian"masterpiece" painting of birds flying and perching within a verdant marsh is so detailed, modern researchers can tell exactly which species artisans illustrated more than 3,300 years ago.
The room, which today is known as the"Green Room," is painted with images of water lilies, papyrus plants and birds — a scene that may have created a serene atmosphere where the royal family could relax, the researchers said. It is"realistic to suggest that the calming effects of the natural environment were as important to the royal household then as it has increasingly been shown to be today," Stimpson and Kemp wrote in the study.
"The only way to have preserved them would have been to rebury the rooms in sand," Kemp told Live Science in an email."The archaeologists chose not to do this, fearing that local people would have damaged them, a fear that was probably exaggerated."
