Summary

Adam Young is the owner of the "OG Vase", the original ancient egyptian stone vase that was scanned with a high precision structured light scanner. Adam has since formed the Artifact Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to doing research on these ancient objects in the field and in the lab.

Join us, Ben from UnchartedX, Adam Young, and Karoly Poka for an afternoon at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where we will peruse their collection of Ancient Egyptian artifacts, then we will move to the Explorer's Club for dinner and presentations from us and Ben!
