These specimens, Gorlitz says, have since been handed to Dresden University for analysis and dating.
Gorlitz told the Cairo Post that they did not enter the Great Pyramid with the intention of taking samples. "The decision was made when we were inside," he said.
Erdmann has told the German magazine Der Spiegel that the scraping was not from the cartouche itself, but rather a marking made with the same pigment nearby. The samples had later been taken from Egypt to the Fresenius Institute in Dresden to be examined, he said.
