Tour the Giza Plateau from 4,600 years ago

Tour the Giza Plateau from 4,600 years ago: A virtual video produced by Harvard University’s Digital Giza Project lets you visualize the Giza Plateau, burial place of ancient Egyptian rulers from the 4th Dynasty, and see what it could have looked like 4,600 years ago (watch, runtime: 03:05). You can take a mini-tour to see the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, which were all part of a temple complex.

Research and technology to construct a picture of Ancient Egypt: This ongoing process of reconstructing the geology and landscape of the necropolis gives insight into ancient Egyptian mortuary practices, enhancing our historical and archaeological understanding of the era. The Digital Giza Project is a collection of tens of thousands of images, scholarly research and cutting-edge technology about the archaeological sites at Giza. The Washington Post has more.
