đ¨Father’s Day alert: take your dad on a breathtaking journey through Ancient Egypt!đ¨
If youâre anything like us, youâve obsessed over Egyptian civilization. How did they create such mathematically precise pyramids? How did they come about worshiping their gods? And probably the most important question: why have we stopped treating cats like royalty? Luckily for us, Horizon of Khufu is coming to Atlanta, unraveling some of Ancient Egyptâs pulsing mysteries.Â
Equipped with the latest VR technology, youâll wander through the mastabas (pharaoh tombs), the Nile River, and of course â the breathtaking pyramids of Giza. This isnât your average trip, either. Fueled by Harvard research, Horizon of Khufu highlights key societal and cultural norms of the period for a historically accurate voyage through time.Â
Your trip to Ancient Egypt awaits â get tickets for Horizon of Khufu before it opens on April 27!
A journey to the Giza necropolisÂ
The adventure begins this April at 550 Somerset Terrace NE. As soon as you don your VR headset, youâll be plunged into what feels like a parallel universe. The Giza necropolis is slowly waking up, from the soothing waters of the Nile to the flourishing palm trees and the dawnâs early birds. Crazy to think that beyond this magical landscape lie the mysteries of an entire civilizationâŚÂ
You wonât be the only one inspecting this ancient land. With the help of a virtual guide and fellow participants, youâll take the shape of an avatar to walk through the sand dunes. The ancient pyramids of Giza, the iconic Sphinx, and the funeral of King Khufu all present opportunities to dive deep into the rich history of Ancient Egypt.
Made to be as historically accurate as possible, Horizon of Khufu has been created in collaboration with egyptology professor Peter Der Manuelian and his team at Harvard. Using data from their Giza Project, Horizon of Khufu is able to replicate Ancient Egypt as it truly was.Â
If youâve dreamed of time traveling to Ancient Egypt (we sure have), this is the opportunity to plunge into the mythical lands headfirst â scouring through the famous historical period unlike ever before. Tickets start at $21.Â
