This New Immersive Experience Will Transport You To Ancient Egypt With The Help Of VR

Horizon of Khufu is coming to NYC in October, uncovering some of the secrets behind this bewildering civilization. The experience will take you on a trip through the incredible necropolis of Giza — the famous site that is home to 3 of Egypt’s most imposing pyramids. 

Using precious research collected by Harvard’s Giza Project, Horizon of Khufu presents Ancient Egypt like you’ve never seen before. Mastabas, tombs of monarchs past, the luxuriant flow of the Nile River… you’ll get to experience it all. If you’re tempted to partake in the voyage, join the waitlist to secure your spot before they go on sale on October 3rd!

What to expect at Horizon of Khufu? 

The journey begins as soon as you put on your VR headset. It’s dawn at the necropolis, and you can see the undulating waters of the Nile, majestic palm trees and the morning’s early birds. But plenty of secrets hide under this mystical landscape…  

Thankfully, you’re not the only one who’s carefully screening this ancient land. Accompanied by a virtual guide and other explorers, you take the form of an avatar to navigate through the sand dunes of Giza and uncover its mysteries. Walk through the iconic pyramids of Giza and take in the gigantic Sphinx before attending the funeral of King Khufu, where you’ll experience a true Ancient Egyptian procession at nightfall.

Based on Harvard University research 

Horizon of Khufu has been thought out for many years. With the help of Professor Peter Der Manuelian and his team at Harvard, the virtual reality voyage recreates Ancient Egypt as accurately as possible. Every costume, landscape and cultural rites are how they were in 3000 B.C. — plunging you deeper into the time period. 

To explore Ancient Egypt, sign up for the waitlist and don’t miss out on tickets once they’re released on October 3rd! 🏜
