AERA's fieldwork projects in previous years have included the iconic Great Pyramids and Sphinx, as well as discovering ancient city extension and a new Nile port. The AERA team has also created a high precision surveyed map of both the natural and cultural features of the entire Giza Plateau. We continue to use and build upon this data to this day. In addition to survey, we now use ground penetrating radar, laser scanning, and drones to document the major monuments on the Giza plateau and other sites around Egypt.
