To reveal the paintings, the scientists used a technique called multi-illumination hyperspectral extraction (MHX), which involves taking dozens of images in the visible, infrared and ultraviolet bands of light and processing them using statistical algorithms developed at the National Research Council of Italy in Pisa, said team member Vincenzo Palleschi, a senior researcher at the research council.
The technique can detect Egyptian blue, a color developed in ancient Egypt that "has a very specific response in a single spectral band," Palleschi said. The team also analyzed the residual remains of other remaining colors to help determine what colors were in the painting.
By combining the MHX and color analyses, the team revealed vanished scenes from ancient Etruscan paintings. The researchers unveiled several examples during the presentation, including details of paintings depicting the Etruscan underworld showing rocks, trees and water.
In the Tomb of the Monkey, so named because a painting in the tomb shows a monkey on a tree, the researchers uncovered details of a painting depicting a person. To the naked eye, the painting looks like a red blur, but after the MHX and color analyses were complete, the painting clearly showed a person carrying an object and details of their hair and face. The tomb was discovered in the 19th century but now, with the new technology, the painting has become much more visible.

Do I really have to mention that canvas or whatever material they used to do paintings was highly valued (rare) back then, so the concept of someone reusing a canvas was common?!! If the image is hidden, it’s likely because some rich guys kid made a mess and someone covered it over to do real art!
I think this is on a cave tomb wall.....................
(not really)
I think they’ve been using some sort of x-ray analysis of old paintings to uncover previous work beneath the visible finished one. It usually seems to be earlier versions of the finished paintings, as opposed to entirely different ones.
“which involves taking dozens of images...and processing them using statistical algorithms...”
i.e, assumptions.
Yeah. But what does Fauci the Magnificent have to say about this?
More f’n algorithms...JUST what we need
Enjoyed what info I could gather, but cringed at that ‘person’s voice and deliverance’.
nothing burger!
and “epstein didn’t kill himself”...
Thanks BenLurkin. On the timeline of pre-Roman Italy, the Etruscans fall between the Dtruscans and the Ftruscans.
Here’s a restaurant in an old mountain village; part of the restaurant is in a cave sculpted out of the rock by the Etruscans.

I enjoyed this, but those who understand Italian will get more out of it that I did. I picked up a few things based on the context of the view, such as the ancient terracotta pipes.
