So University of California, Berkeley archaeologist Alexei Vranich and his colleagues 3D-printed a scale model of nearly 150 carved andesite blocks in order to reconstruct part of the temple.

It is hoped that with these 3D models, experts will be able to identify the pieces of these complex and priceless jigsaw puzzles to restore the site to its UNESCO-quality grandeur. Save this picture!

Scientists Use AI to Turn 134-Year-Old Photo Into 3D Model of Lost Temple Relief Older models struggled with depth issues in 2D images, but the novel neural network handles these problems with ease.
