An exciting journey through Ancient Egypt
The minute you don your headset, Ancient Egypt comes to life in all its glory. Glide through the iconic Nile River as the sun rises, taking in majestic palm trees and flocking birds. You’ll soon notice you aren’t alone: a virtual guide stands right in the frame with you, along with the other explorers’ avatars.
Accompanied by this group, you’ll uncover the mysteries of Ancient Egypt — discovering new facts at every stop. As you navigate the Giza necropolis and trek through the famous pyramids, you’ll even witness the funeral of King Kheops, the revered pharaoh who the first ever pyramid of Giza was built for.
An adventure based on Harvard University research
Inspired by Harvard research with the help of professor Peter Der Manuelian and his team, Horizon of Khufu recreates one of the most iconic time periods with the utmost detail. Every costume, skyline and cultural references you experience through your VR glasses has been meticulously thought of. The result? An immersive adventure that sends you back to 3000 B.C.
