Events Description
In a space of nearly 10,000 square feet, visitors will be transported to Cairo and they will be able to freely wander through Ancient Egypt. With friends or family, the public will be invited to discover and uncover another era!
A Wonder of the World. The only remaining one of seven to have stood the test of time. Witness to Egypt’s 4,500-year-old architectural prowess, the Great Pyramid of Khufu has dominated the Giza Plateau and the city of Cairo for millennia. Erected between 2,590 and 2,565 BC, the 146-meter-high stone edifice was originally the largest ever built by man. Designed to house King Khufu in his final resting place, the pyramid continues this day to attract and fascinate visitors from all over the world.
This unique 45-minute experience is the result of three years of research and development by Excurio. Geared with VR headset, the audience is transported over 10,000 km from Calgary, at the base of the tallest pyramid in Egypt, for a journey back to the third millennium BC
Visitors – each impersonated by an avatar – first step into the pyramid. The beginning of a winding wander through galleries and spaces, many of which are off-limits to the public, before reaching its top where a breath-taking view of modern Cairo and the Giza Plateau unfolds before their eyes. As they climb to the peak and roam freely across the monument, they grasp the intricacies of its use in ancient times while learning about the latest archaeological discoveries at the site. Finally, the travelers embark aboard a solar barque on the Nile, bearing witness to the funeral rite of King Khufu, 4,500 years before our era.
An experience illuminated by the latest scientific discoveries about the Khufu Pyramid
Horizon of Khufu has been designed in partnership with Peter Der Manuelian, Professor of Egyptology at Harvard University, and Director of the Giza Project. He and his team supervised the making of this experiment, ensuring its scientific accuracy through architectural and historical data applied in the reconstitution of the site and re-enactment of ancient practices.
