Horizon of Khufu
In Lyon
An immersive journey to the heart of ancient Egypt. Already over 2 million viewers worldwide!
The people of Lyon loved it!
They traveled through millions of years… without leaving Lyon.
A good immersive experience. The last ramparts of Carcassonne give a good idea of what life was like at that time.
We just experienced the immersive space experience. We're really inside the ISS, it's mind-blowing!
I loved the experience, which truly gives the feeling of being on the ISS or in space during spacewalks. 'Virtual' reality takes on its full meaning for an immersive space experience.
A very warm welcome and a great immersion experience; I just didn't have enough time to see everything.

EGYPTOLOGY AND
SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE
Designed using leading archaeological sources, archives and scientific research, The Horizon of Kheops recreates with exceptional accuracy the landscapes, monuments and rites of ancient Egypt.
But beyond accuracy, it is the feeling that prevails: that of being faced with a civilization that thought about eternity.
“I am delighted to be part of this unique project aimed at making an important part of the Giza pyramid plateau accessible to everyone.”
Peter Der Manuelian
Egyptologist, Harvard University
Based on the most recent archaeological discoveries.
