Art style: Cinematic Neo-Noir. A towering black granite sarcophagus emerging from shadow in an underground chamber, its polished surface catching a single warm lamplight. A small figure stands before it, one hand pressed to the stone, dwarfed by its scale. Dramatic chiaroscuro medium-wide shot, the light source low and to the side, the far side of the coffin lost in deep black. Dust motes hang in the still beam. The mood is reverent, overwhelming, and eerie. Dominant palette of obsidian black, gleaming amber highlights, and cold shadow. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Neo-Noir" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Neo-Noir". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Neo-Noir" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Auguste Mariette: A man in his early forties with a full dark beard streaked with dust, weathered olive-toned skin, deep-set intelligent brown eyes shadowed by fatigue and wonder. Strong brow, aquiline nose, high cheekbones. Dark hair swept back, damp with sweat. Rugged 19th-century European explorer's field attire, high collar, dusty. A commanding yet obsessive energy radiates from him, the look of a man on the edge of a discovery. Dramatic single-source lantern light rakes across half his face, deep chiaroscuro shadows, a dim sandstone corridor behind him, motes of dust suspended in the beam.
