3d printer has used to recreate an ancient greek statue of zeus, after it was lost in the 5th century
As one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the statue of zeus at olympia was recorded only in descriptions and illustrations of coins.
An expert in classical sculpture said 3D-printing was a powerful tool for learning about lost artefacts
It's an attempt to replicate the figure, made of wood, ivory and gold which was lost in a fire at a palace of lausus in constantinople, the city now known as Istanbul.
