Check this out if you are interested in a virtual tour in the Valley of the Kings.
The 3D Theban Mapping Project is really impressive.
Info, images, maps, movies are available to discover every tomb in the Valley. Right now, a 3D tour is available as a demo on one tomb (KV 14 Tomb of Tausert and Setnakht) but the atlas is quite comprehensive.
Quote:
Since its inception in 1978, the Theban Mapping Project (TMP, now based at the American University in Cairo) has been working to prepare a comprehensive archaeological database of Thebes.
During the last decade, the TMP has concentrated on the Valley of the Kings. Modern surveying techniques were used to measure its tombs. From the data collected, the TMP is preparing 3-D computer models of the tombs. |
