Overview
Make your way through the dimly lit inner walkways of the Pyramids to unravel the mysteries of Ancient Egypt in this must-see, world first, blockbuster experience featuring 11 galleries filled with life-like, recreated scenes of the key burial tombs within the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens. View intricately decorated wood coffins, hieroglyph inscribed stone sarcophagus, mummies wrapped in bandages and adorned with gold amulets, and colossal stone statues of Ramses, Akhenaten, Amenhotep III & Queen TIYET. Peer into the antechamber and treasury chambers of the boy Pharaoh, King Tutankhamun and witness rooms filled with solid gold artefacts – just as explorer Howard Carter found them in 1922. Be the first in the world to see the lost priceless treasures of one of ancient Egypt’s most famous female rulers and wife of Ramses II, Queen Nefertari.
Featuring over 300 authenticated Egyptian objects, including intricately decorated coffins, royal burial masks, mummified remains, extracts of hieroglyphs, the Rosetta stone, gold jewellery, amulets, shabti, room-sized carved statues, and intricately recreated tombs fit for a King. This world-first interactive experience lets you explore some of the most famous tombs in Egypt and see illustrative examples of the Pharaoh’s gold treasures buried with them, all designed to attract the favour of the Gods and to provide for daily use of royal items in the afterlife.
Through the use of cutting-edge 3D multimedia projection, recreated 3 dimensional scenes, educational signage and interactive displays, visitors will discover fascinating facts about this incredible civilisation that many were never aware of.
