In 1912 and 1913, during excavations in the ruins of the ancient Egyptian city of Akhetaten (today Amarna or Tell el-Amarna), the archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt discovered more than 7,000 objects that tell the story of the city founded by Pharaoh Akhenaten. Among these was arguably one of the most famous archaeological finds of all time—the Bust of Nefertiti, which is now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin—as well as 5,000 other artifacts. This constituted an enormous collection which—stored partly in the museum’s exhibition area and partly in its archives—required extensive processing and cataloging. To facilitate the precise geographical attribution of these diverse finds to their respective excavation sites, Sebastian Klammer Grafikdesign Berlin was commissioned in 2013 to conceptualize and design a website that would make this vast trove of artifacts accessible to scholars worldwide: the Amarna Digital Atlas.
