That’s a fascinating idea—imagine holding the same lapis lazuli that the Ebers Papyrus painters mixed, or the cinnabar red used in Mesoamerican murals. The color’s chemical composition would change the way light plays across the surface, almost like stepping into the past. If we could replicate those exact pigments, the mural wouldn’t just look ancient; it would embody the very material culture of the people who created them. It’s a project that would make a modern audience feel the texture of history, not just its stories.
