This sarcophagus dates back to the XXVI dynasty (664-525 BC) and belonged to the vizier Gemenefherbak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What immediately attracts the observer&#8217;s gaze is the extreme smoothness of the surface which appears almost velvety, despite the dark green stone being very hard. In Egypt it was called \u201cbekhen stone\u201d and was extracted from quarries in the eastern desert.<br>Gemenefherbak is depicted on the cover of the sarcophagus and carries a small image of the goddess Maat, goddess of justice, hanging from his neck, which recalls the role of Gemenefherbak. His chest, on the other hand, is protected by a winged scarab.<br>Once the two &#8220;reproductions&#8221; of the sarcophagus were made, the only post-production intervention was to cut out the front and back of the sarcophagus and then insert the images side by side on a black background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_8e6a54cc149e7c6daf9e4ab3b9c86e74\" class=\"wp-block block-gallery-modal flex flex-col align-center\">\n    <div class=\"w-full aspect-3\/2 bg-gray-400 flex flex-col align-items items-center mb-4 relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"820\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=1024&amp;height=820\" class=\"w-full h-full object-contain aspect-3\/2\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=300&amp;height=240 300w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=1024&amp;height=820 1024w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=768&amp;height=615 768w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=375&amp;height=300 375w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=365&amp;height=292 365w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=600&amp;height=480 600w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=717&amp;height=574 717w, https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01-2.png?width=936&amp;height=750 936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" \/>        <div class=\"attachment-caption w-full text-xs text-center text-white absolute bottom-4 left-0 z-[5]\">\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <button data-target=\"modalblock_8e6a54cc149e7c6daf9e4ab3b9c86e74\" class=\"openBtn border border-black mx-auto font-fjalla-one py-2 px-6\">\n        See an enlarged image of that part    <\/button>\n    <div id=\"modalblock_8e6a54cc149e7c6daf9e4ab3b9c86e74\" class=\"lightbox hidden fixed z-50 left-0 top-0 w-full h-full overflow-hidden\">\n        <span class=\"close\">&times;<\/span>\n        <img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/shootingdata_img_01_zoom-1-2.png\" class=\"lightbox-content object-contain m-auto\" loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">        <div class=\"zoom-in\">+<\/div>\n        <div class=\"zoom-out\">&#8211;<\/div>\n        <div class=\"fullscreen\">[ ]<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SHOOTING&nbsp;DATA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sarcophagus of Gemenefherbak\/Museo Egizio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>[Camera]GFX100&nbsp;[Lens]GF63mmF2.8 R WR&nbsp;[Sensitivity]ISO100<br>[Shutter Speed]1\/2&nbsp;[Resolution]400MP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/sideview_img_01-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268439\" loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">[Lupo\/LED Super Panel\/Full power]4units<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/slider_img_01_pc-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268441\" loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PHOTOGRAPHER\u2019S&nbsp;VOICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What emerges immediately is the impressive richness of the details of the engravings and the signs left over time, despite the admirable state of conservation. Through the reproduction performed with the Pixel Shift Multishot technique, at the final resolution of 400mp, we are able to appreciate details and particulars practically invisible to the naked eye.<br>The Multishot function, which can be activated directly \u201cin the camera\u201d, automatically takes 16 RAW shots which are then \u201cmerged\u201d by the Shift Combiner application, in a totally automatic way, generating a wonderful and unique 400 Mp file, in DNG RAW format. Complete compatibility with the most popular photo editing software is thus guaranteed.<br>In addition to the very high resolution, the images obtained stand out for their richness of details, chromatic range and absolute fidelity in color reproduction, making this function particularly useful both for Still Life photographers and for all photographers who work with archiving digital and preservation of artworks, where chromatic fidelity is a fundamental aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GiorgioCravero<\/strong> (Photograper)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After testing the new features in the Studio, and looking for a subject that would really highlight (and under stress) the possibilities offered by the new Firmware, we turned to the Egyptian Museum of Turin, the oldest museum in the world entirely dedicated to Nilotic civilization and considered the most important in the world after [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":418,"featured_media":287256,"template":"","category":[1006,13907,1202,3113,10463,1937,10120,1055,3701,3505,320,565],"post_tag":[],"b2b-solutions":[14005],"class_list":["post-287333","story","type-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cameras","category-case-studies","category-category","category-g-mount","category-gf63mmf28-r-wr","category-gfx-series","category-gfx100","category-lenses","category-gfx-series-mirrorless","category-g-mount-prime","category-products","category-stories","b2b-solutions-archiving-research-solutions"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"fujifilm_category_label":"GFX100","publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-10-28 06:01:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story\/287333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/story"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/418"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/category?post=287333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_tag?post=287333"},{"taxonomy":"b2b-solutions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/b2b-solutions?post=287333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
