Unveiling Ancient Secrets
Archeologist Raffaella Bosso ventures into the depths of Naples, Italy, uncovering the mysteries of ancient Greek burial chambers predating the Romans. With the aid of particle detectors, previously hidden tombs are unveiled without the need for traditional excavation methods.
Unlocking the Past
Physicists like Valeri Tioukov utilize muon detectors to peer through layers of rock, revealing hidden chambers and structures imperceptible to the naked eye. By counting and tracking muons, a three-dimensional model of long-forgotten burial chambers is reconstructed, marking a groundbreaking fusion of archaeology and particle physics.
Expanding Possibilities
This cutting-edge technology extends beyond Naples, offering insights into Egyptian pyramids, volcanic chambers, and medical advancements in cancer treatment. Professor Giovanni De Lellis emphasizes the potential for precise imaging in deep-seated cancers, heralding a new era of discovery and innovation in various fields.
