3D Model based on laser-Scanning[]

The Biete Abba Libanos was spatially documented in 2007 by the non-profit research group Zamani Project, which specialises in 3D digital documentation of tangible cultural heritage. A 3D model can be viewed on their website. The data generated by the Zamani Project creates a permanent record that can be used for research, education, restoration, and conservation.[4][5][6] [7]
