What the AI Sees
Artifacts read by vision AI: deities, royal cartouches, signs, materials, visible text · 18,508 objects.
Each object's primary image goes through a structured vision-AI analysis: the model identifies deities, royal names, materials, hieroglyphic signs, and any visible text. The model is shown the museum's own catalogue record alongside the photograph, so it describes and confirms rather than guesses — an ungrounded read mistook a faience sow for a scarab and a lapis falcon for an owl. Every reading is machine-generated and labelled as such; the AI panel on each detail page shows its full output.
