Die Bildhauerin Miriam Johnson meißelt Hieroglyphen von Hand, so wie damals im alten Ägypten – nur mit Hammer und Meißel.
Watch the detailed process as she creates a cartouche (oval-shaped frame displaying a royal name frame) which spells Pharaoh Khufu, using both sunken relief and raised relief techniques.
Filmed with natural sound only, this video features unintentional ASMR stone carving sounds — the rhythmic tapping of hammer and chisel against stone, just like artisans would have worked in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.
Pharaoh Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid, is one of the most famous rulers of ancient Egypt. His name, written in hieroglyphs inside a cartouche, symbolises royal authority and divine kingship.
