Using Georadar technology, a team of specialists from the Terranova and In situ Testing enterprises have explored all the enclosures of a funerary complex, in order to identify hidden rooms which might hold the sarcophagus of the fourth prophet of Ammon and Governor of Upper Egypt (670- 648 B.C.).

The Terranova and the In Situ Testing companies are taking part in an archaeological dig taking place to the west of Thebes (Luxor), Egypt, in one of the largest funerary complexes of the area. It involves the tomb of Monthemhat, the fourth prophet of Ammon and Governor of Upper Egypt (670-648 B.C.).

The team of professionals from both firms are contributing evidence to finding the sarcophagus of the mummy of this important civil servant, still remaining undiscovered, but suspected to lie under the funerary complex. Based on these clues and the characteristics of the place where the sarcophagus of one of his offspring was found (using a camera to access a 7 metre-deep shaft which had been uncovered on excavating one of the stone steps), all the surface area of the complex was analysed with the geophysical technique of Georadar.

This technique enables the extrapolation of a complete, in-depth profile of the terrain, and is identical to that employed for the detection from Earth of objects navigating in space.
