We believe that, under the right conditions, AI-generated images can help viewers better understand the Bronze Age by immersing them deeper into the ancient world.
AI-generated images are used under a strict policy: they must support the archaeological record, remain clearly identifiable as AI-generated, and serve the mission of the project rather than distract from it.
Archaeological evidence remains our primary focus. AI images serve a different role: they help convey the atmosphere and general feeling of the ancient world in ways that documentary images alone cannot.
Keeping AI images grounded
We are committed to keeping AI-generated images as grounded in historical reality as possible. As our methods develop, this process will continue to be refined.
Our images are based on archaeological evidence, historically appropriate settings, and responsible interpretation. They are not used to replace documentary evidence, but to help paint a clearer picture of the ancient world behind the archaeological record.
Our images are not the product of a single prompt. They are developed over time, through a gradual process of refinement, revision, and comparison against the available evidence.
Errors and correction
We acknowledge that, even with careful refinement, AI-generated images may sometimes include historically inaccurate details. If such an error is identified, we encourage readers to let us know. We welcome constructive criticism and are committed to making the appropriate adjustments.
