Satellite Imagery Analysis
Optical, Hyperspectral, Radar.






Our direct access to satellite imagery allows us to perform a complete characterization of ancient sites. Our capabilities comprise the programming and acquisition of commercial satellite images (optical, hyperspectral, radar) along with a comprehensive analysis to identify the relevant markers. Our lab can generate Digital Elevation Models (DEM – Qgis or Potree tools) from high-resolution pictures, perform hydrological analysis, and characterize watersheds, lakes, rivers, and urban supply systems.
Photogrammetry
Small, medium and large scale.






Our technology and know-how allow us to completely capture the exterior and interior objects or structures, from millimeter to kilometer scale.

Geography and Cartography
Understanding the interaction between humans and their environment.

Egyptology
Our core business.






Egyptology is an academic discipline that specializes in the study of ancient Egypt. Our Lab places equal emphasis on archaeology and text, each contributing to a fully contextualised approach to the field. We prioritise a comprehensive approach to Egyptological research, moving beyond traditional boundaries geographically, chronologically, methodologically and theoretically. Our Lab also undertake commercial and collaborative work with academic partners.
CAD, 3D Creation
Understanding the interaction between humans and their environment.






Our research team regularly uses the most modern design software to meet all our needs. These needs range from the creation of CAD models for numerical simulation purposes to the representation of paleo-realistic environments for film production of films or virtual visits. The tools we use namely include Solidworks (Dassault Systems), Unreal Engine 5 (Epic Games), Blender, and Sketchup (Trimble). Over the past years, our team made CAD models of most of the buildings of the Old Kingdom of Egypt.

Paleotechnic in a nutshell
Paleotechnic is a privately owned Research Institute specializing in archaeology and ancient technologies analysis. Its mission is to discover our civilization’s origins. What sets Paleotechnic apart is its multidisciplinary and holistic approach, at the crossroads of multiple fields of expertise such as hydrology, archaeology, geotechnics, climatology, physics, and materials science.
Paleotechnic Research Institute conducts R&D studies to identify and analyze how technologies from the past functioned. The Institute prides itself on the reverse engineering of past advanced technologies and modernizing them to meet current needs. With a particular focus on the technologies used in Ancient Egypt, Paleotechnic’s primary area of research is the construction of the Giant Pyramids.
In addition to R&D activities, Paleotechnic offers scientific consulting services in Egyptology including conferences, learning courses in modern archaeology, and technical analyses (drawings, cross-sections, elevations, and maps).
What makes us different
We can understand how forgotten past technologies worked by conducting reverse engineering. It is a common misconception that old technologies are simple and outdated. In reality, many of these technologies required advanced knowledge that is not commonly known today.
To fully comprehend these technologies, a scientific study across various disciplines such as materials science, physics, chemistry, mechanics, or astronomy is necessary. Thanks to our extensive expertise and laboratory network, we are better equipped to tackle these issues than any other Research Institute. Then, we can replicate and enhance these technologies to meet modern needs.
