Queen - Of Egypt Rigid3d

The digital preservation of ancient Egyptian royal statuary often focuses on surface appearance and geometry. This paper introduces a approach to analyze the physical stability and postural mechanics of a seated statue of Queen Tiye (18th Dynasty). Using high-resolution 3D scans, we construct a volumetric rigid model with estimated material densities. We simulate gravitational forces, center-of-mass calculations, and reaction forces at base contact points. Results identify inherent design features that prevent forward pitch and lateral tipping. The method further predicts how missing fragments (e.g., feet, throne sections) affect stability, guiding physical restoration. This work demonstrates that “rigid3D” analysis adds a functional layer to digital heritage beyond visual rendering.

Often considered one of the most beautiful and mysterious queens, Nefertiti was the principal wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Her bust, created by the artist Thutmose, is one of the most copied works of ancient art. Despite her fame, much about her life and fate remains a mystery. queen of egypt rigid3d
