When it comes to ancient Egypt, the color most associated with its monuments today would likely be a sandy beige.

Now, through the magic of projection-mapping technology, visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art can catch a glimpse of what one of these buildings, the Temple of Dendur, may have looked like more than 2,000 years ago.
