Take an 360° Interactive Tour Inside the Great Pyramid of Giza

in Architecture , History | July 31st, 2020 1 Comment

You can’t take it with you if you’ve got noth­ing to take with you.

Once upon a time, the now-emp­ty  Great Pyra­mid of Giza  was sump­tu­ous­ly appoint­ed inside and out, to ensure that Pharaoh Khu­fu, or Cheops as he was known to the Ancient Greeks, would be well received in the after­life.

Bling was a seri­ous thing.

Thou­sand of years fur­ther on, cin­e­mat­ic por­tray­als have us con­vinced that tomb raiders were greedy 19th- and 20th-cen­tu­ry cura­tors, eager­ly fill­ing their vit­rines with stolen arti­facts.

There’s some truth to that, but mod­ern Egyp­tol­o­gists are fair­ly con­vinced that Khufu’s pyra­mid was loot­ed short­ly after his reign, by oppor­tunists look­ing to grab some good­ies for their jour­ney to the after­life.

At any rate, it’s been picked clean.

Per­haps one day, we 21st-cen­tu­ry cit­i­zens can opt in to a pyra­mid expe­ri­ence akin to  Rome Reborn , a dig­i­tal crutch for our fee­ble imag­i­na­tion to help us past the emp­ty sar­coph­a­gus and bare walls that have defined the world’s old­est tourist attraction’s inte­ri­ors for … well, not quite ever, but cer­tain­ly for  Flaubert ,  Mark Twain , and 12th-cen­tu­ry schol­ar  Abd al-Latif .

Fast for­ward­ing to 2017, the  BBC’s Rajan Datar  host­ed “ Secrets of the Great Pyra­mid ,” a pod­cast episode fea­tur­ing Egyp­tol­o­gist  Sal­i­ma Ikram , space archae­ol­o­gist  Dr Sarah Par­cak , and archae­ol­o­gist, Dr  Joyce Tyldes­ley .

The experts were keen to clear up a major mis­con­cep­tion that the 4600-year-old pyra­mid was built by aliens or enslaved labor­ers, rather than a per­ma­nent staff of archi­tects and engi­neers, aid­ed by Egypt­ian civil­ians eager to barter their labor for meat, fish, beer, and tax abate­ment.

Datar’s ques­tion about a scan­ning project that would bring fur­ther insight into the Pyra­mid of Giza­’s con­struc­tion and lay­out was met with excite­ment.

This attrac­tion, old as it is, has plen­ty of new secrets to be dis­cov­ered.

We’re hap­py to share with you, read­ers, that 3 years after that episode was taped, the future is here.

The scan­ning is com­plete.

Wit­ness the BBC’s 360° tour inside the Great Pyra­mid of Giza.

Use your mouse to crane your neck, if you like.

As of this writ­ing, you  could   tour the pyra­mid in per­son , should you wish—the usu­al touris­tic hoards are def­i­nite­ly dialed down.

But, giv­en the con­ta­gion, per­haps bet­ter to tour the King’s Cham­ber, the Queen’s Cham­ber, and the Grand Gallery vir­tu­al­ly, above.

(An inter­est­ing tid­bit: the pyra­mid was more dis­tant to the ancient Romans than the Colos­se­um is to us.)

Visit the Pyramids of Giza Without Even Leaving Your Couch

By ellen gutoskey | apr 15, 2021.

If going to the Giza Plateau in person is the ultimate way to experience the ancient Pyramids of Giza, Harvard University’s Digital Giza is at least the next best thing.

As Nerdist reports , Digital Giza is an offshoot of Harvard’s Giza Project , an international endeavor to catalog and consolidate archives and information about the Giza Plateau from all over the world. Researchers have used this data to create a digital platform with 3D models, virtual walking tours, and other free interactive resources to help people explore the region from afar.

You can, for example, amble around the largest of the three pyramids, commissioned by King Khufu around 2550 BCE and also known as the Great Pyramid . Not only is it the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it’s also the only one that still exists (That said, historians aren’t sure that some of them ever existed at all—hard evidence of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Colossus of Rhodes, for example, has proven difficult to find.) The other two pyramids that tower over the rest of the plateau are the Pyramid of Khafre and the Pyramid of Menkaure, built by (and named for) Khufu’s son and grandson, respectively.

Digital Giza offers plenty of sites to explore beyond those three edifices. The Great Sphinx , thought to have been built during Khafre’s reign, is also a must-see. While it’s currently the same sandy color as the rest of the plateau, pigment residue suggests that it might’ve once been painted red, blue, yellow, and perhaps other vibrant hues. The platform also has virtual tours of several extravagant tombs, complete with details about the art and sculptures you see inside.

If you’re interested in an immersive (and educational) virtual vacation, you can explore Digital Giza here .

Discover the secrets of Egypt’s Great Pyramid on this new virtual tour

A new tool gives you access to the inside chambers of one of the Ancient Wonders of the World

Always wanted have a look around an Egyptian pyramid but never quite managed to go all the way to Giza? Here’s your chance for a sneak peek. You can now take a free virtual tour of the Great Pyramid of Giza – and, even online, it’s pretty spectacular.

On a website called Giza.Mused , the tour gives viewers a comprehensive look into one of Egypt’s most famous pyramids. It renders the ‘entire interior’ in digital 3-D form, taking virtual tour attendees through the king’s chamber at the top, the queen’s chamber in the middle and a subterranean chamber, which is cut into the bedrock beneath. 

So what’s so special about the Great Pyramid of Giza – despite, obviously, it being ‘great’ and all? Well, it’s the biggest pyramid in Egypt and stands at just over 138 metres tall. Built about 4,600 years ago, it houses the tomb of fourth dynasty pharaoh Khufu and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (and the only Ancient Wonder still standing).

In other words, it’s a pretty sweet place to get a virtual tour of. Giza.Mused doubles up as a fascinating history lesson, with facts about everything from its construction and location to the current entrance, which was apparently dug by robbers in the ninth century.

You can do the tour for yourself here – and get fantasising about just how incredible it would be to see the pyramids IRL.

360° Tour inside the Great Pyramid of Giza (Video)

• Read Later  

The BBC's 360° tour through the Great Pyramid of Giza , one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, provides viewers with an immersive virtual reality experience. The video tour starts in the heart of the pyramid, the ceremonial passage known as the Grand Gallery, and continues to the King's Chamber . The precision and architectural brilliance of the pyramid become evident as the viewers navigate through the narrow, low-roofed passages of this over 4,500-year-old edifice.

The video also explores the mysterious subterranean chamber, a feature of the pyramid normally closed off to the public. This enigmatic section is hewn out of the bedrock below ground level and, unlike the smooth surfaces found elsewhere in the pyramid, has rough and irregular walls. The purpose of this chamber and its unusual features, including a strange deep shaft and a short tunnel that ends abruptly, remain a mystery. Despite the enduring secrets it holds, the Great Pyramid , thanks to technological advances in virtual reality, now also shines as a marvel in the virtual world, giving us an unprecedented look into its fascinating interiors.

Virtual Reality Tour of Egypt.

Take the 360° virtual reality tour of egyptian pyramids, the nile river, the red sea, etc, egyptian pyramids.

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. As of November 2008, sources cite either 118 or 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids. Most were built as tombs for the country’s Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser, which was built c. 2630–2610 BC during the Third Dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world’s oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry. Through this 360-degree virtual reality tour of Egypt, the Pyramids, the Nile, and the Red Sea, the viewer can visit the place without reaching the place.

The Papyrus

The papyrus of Egypt is most closely associated with writing – in fact, the English word ‘paper’ comes from the word ‘papyrus’ – but the Egyptians found many uses for the plant other than a writing surface for documents and texts. Papyrus was used as a food source, to make rope, for sandals, for boxes and baskets and mats, like window shades, material for toys such as dolls, as amulets to ward off throat diseases, and even to make small fishing boats.

Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church, Cairo.

Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church , also known as Abu Serga, in Coptic Cairo, is one of the oldest Coptic churches in Egypt, dating back to the 4th century.

The Nile River

The Nile is a major north-flowing river in northeastern Africa, and is the longest river in the world, though some sources cite the Amazon River as the longest.

Red Sea Governorate is one of the 27 governorates of Egypt. Located between the Nile and the Red Sea in the southeast of the country, its southern border forms part of Egypt’s border with Sudan.

A Smithsonian magazine special report

Take a Free Virtual Tour of Five Egyptian Heritage Sites

The sites include the 5,000-year-old tomb of Meresankh III, the Red Monastery and the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Barquq

Theresa Machemer

Correspondent

Earlier this month, Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced the release of five new virtual tours of historic sites, adding to the range of online adventures that you can now embark on from home.

The tours explore the tomb of Meresankh III , the tomb of Menna , the Ben Ezra Synagogue , the Red Monastery and the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Barquq . Each virtual experience features detailed 3-D imagery through which users can “walk” by clicking hotspots along the structures’ floors.

As James Stewart reports for the Guardian , the tours boast “beefed up” 3-D modeling made by experts with Harvard University’s Giza Project . Unlike their real counterparts, most of which charge a small entry fee, the virtual renderings are free to all.

“The virtual tours target both [international] tourists and Egyptians, a ministry spokesperson tells Al-Monitor ’s Amira Sayed Ahmed. “They serve the double purpose of promoting Egyptian tourism nationwide and increasing Egyptians' awareness of their own civilization.”

Two of the tours—the tombs of Meresankh III and elite Egyptian official Menna —include background information accessible by clicking circles overlaid atop specific features. The former’s tomb, dated to some 5,000 years ago, is the oldest of the Egyptian sites available as a virtual walkthrough. Meresankh, a queen wed to King Khafre, was the daughter of Prince Kawab and Hetepheres II of the fourth dynasty, and the granddaughter of Great Pyramid builder Cheops, also known as Khufu.

Harvard archaeologist George Andrew Reisner discovered the queen’s tomb in 1927. He later stated that “None of us had ever seen anything like it.” Today, the burial place’s paintings and carvings remain well-preserved, showcasing hunters catching water birds, bakers making triangular loaves of bread and servants holding offerings.

In the northern chamber, along the wall furthest from the virtual tour’s starting point, ten statues of women stand shoulder to shoulder—an unusual sight among Gaza tombs. The statues “serve to emphasize Meresankh’s position among her queenly relatives,” the tour explains. Along the path to the 16-foot-deep burial shaft, users pass a pair of statues depicting Meresankh and her mother, Hetepheres II, with their arms around each other.

The path leads down a spiraling staircase into the burial shaft, where Meresankh’s black granite sarcophagus—originally created for her mother but re-engraved upon the queen’s death in 2532 B.C., according to the History Blog —was originally found. The tour includes a reconstructed image of the chamber with the sarcophagus in place, but the actual coffin is now kept at the Egyptian Antiquities Museum in Cairo.

The tomb of Menna, dated to the 18th dynasty (about 1549 B.C to 1292 B.C.), is “one of the most visited and best preserved” from the era, the ministry writes in a statement quoted by Live Science ’s Laura Geggel. The tomb’s decorations suggest the elite official was a scribe in charge of the pharaoh’s fields and the temple of sun god Amun-Re.

Menna’s tomb also includes informational blurbs highlighting such features as paintings of the scribe’s family, including his wife Henuttawy and their five children. Curiously, all of the paintings of Menna have been defaced.

“The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul of a person inhabited paintings of them and destroying the face would ‘deactivate’ the image,” the tour notes. “Why would someone want to destroy the memory of Menna?”

The tomb also served as a point of communication with the dead. It once featured life-size statues of Menna and Henuttawy that family members could make offerings to, ask for favors or visit during festivals.

The other three tours do not offer information blurbs at this time, but they still have plenty of detailed 3-D imagery for virtual visitors to explore. The Red Monastery , a Coptic church in Upper Egypt, features ornate frescoes, while the 14th-century Mosque-Madrassa is known for its immense size and innovative architecture. The Ben Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo is alleged to be the site where baby Moses was found.

“Experience Egypt from home,” says the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities on Facebook . “Stay home. Stay safe.”

The Great Pyramid of Giza

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built as a tomb for the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu and dates back to 2600 BC. You can go inside the pyramid and explore the many subterranean chambers.

The Pyramid of Khafre is slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid. It was built for the pharaoh Khafre in 2570 BC. Unfortunately, its treasures were plundered in ancient and medieval times.

The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest of the Giza Pyramids. It was completed around 2510 BC. Its north face was damaged when a medieval Sultan attempted to demolish it.

The Great Sphinx is a colossal sandstone statue of a mythical creature with the head of a man, and the body of a lion. It sits in front of the Pyramid of Khafre and is famous for having a broken nose.

Egyptian Museum

The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, also called the Cairo Museum, is home to a vast collection of pieces of ancient Egyptian history. It also hosts special events and exhibitions all year long.

Giza Solar Boat Museum

Near the Great Pyramid of Khufu Solar Boat Museum. It houses a reconstruction of the pharaoh’s solar barque , the ship buried with the king to use on his journey across the heavens.

Khan el-Khalili Bazaar

Plan your Pyramids of Giza day tour

• April to September: 7 AM to 6 PM
• October to March: 8 AM to 4 PM

Duration of visit: around 6 to 16 hours, depending on your itinerary Best time to visit: The best months to visit the Pyramids of Giza are around October to March. Although you may observe a surge in prices, the winter months are the best time to explore the interiors of the Pyramids, go on a camel safari, or engage in other activities in the desert. Since the sun is pretty strong even during these months, try to reach early in the morning, and avoid visiting on weekends and public holidays.

There are 2 entrances to the Giza Pyramids complex.

• Great Pyramid of Khufu entrance: This entrance is situated towards the north side of the Great Pyramid, near the Marriot Mena House Hotel. While this entrance may have a slightly higher wait time, around 40 to 50 minutes, you can easily access the Panoramic Point from this entrance. 
• The Great Sphinx entrance: This entrance is located on the north side of the Pyramids, near the Great Sphinx. It has a slightly shorter wait time, around 30 to 40 minutes, however, it is an uphill walk to the Panoramic Point from this entrance. 

We recommend visitors in wheelchairs and elderly tourists to use the Great Pyramid of Khufu entrance. If you are short on time, you may use the Great Sphinx entrance.

• Accessibility: While visitors in wheelchairs cannot explore the interiors of the Pyramids of Giza, they can stroll up to the entrance of the Great Sphinx. There is a ramp leading up to the Sphinx. Please note that the surrounding areas are sandy and uneven, making it unsuitable for wheelchair users. We recommend you go on a camel safari tour to explore the Pyramids and catch amazing views of the Sahara desert. 
• Photography: You can click pictures of the Pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and surrounding areas. Please be mindful of other visitors if you are carrying professional camera equipment like tripods. 
• Shops: There are plenty of small shops outside the Giza Pyramids. Make sure to carry cash as most of these vendors do not accept card payments.

• Take the metro: The most budget-friendly way to reach the Giza Pyramids is to get a metro from line 1 of the Cairo metro station. You can get a taxi or tour bus from the Giza station to the Pyramids of Giza entrances.  
• Arrive early: To avoid the tour bus rush, it is best to reach the Pyramids of Giza early in the morning around 9 AM. 
• Carry cash: Most small shop vendors outside the Giza Necropolis do not accept credit card payments. Please carry cash to shop for souvenirs outside. 
• Attend the Light and Sound show: There is a Light and Sound show organized during sunset hours at the Pyramids of Giza. It offers amazing views of the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and surrounding areas. 
• Wear light clothing: The desert sun is scorching hot even during the winter months, so it is best to wear light, breathable fabrics when visiting the Giza complex.

The Pyramids

The pyramids - 3d virtual tour.

The Pyramids virtual tours can be started by clicking the preview window or by downloading the stand-alone versions. Just drag the mouse to the direction you want to look. Use the scroll wheel to zoom at the details. Press F9 to get a list of the 3D sites you downloaded (residing in the same directory). To install the listed sites as a screensaver press F5 . Our advise is to install all the sites, including The Pyramids , as a screensaver. When the screensaver starts, a random site is chosen and shown around automatically (this gives the impression of looking at a documentary in HD quality). To see the usage of other keys press F1 . Press Ecs to exit.

Panorama shootings for The Pyramids were done in the year 2010. Shooting equipment was Nikon D90 digital camera, 10.5 mm fisheye lens, panoramic tripod head and a tripod. For The Pyramids more than 800 pictures were taken. The pictures that are taken for different angles are later combined using a computer to form a full 360 degree panoramic view, surrounding the viewer both horizontally and vertically.

History of The Pyramids

The Egyptian Pyramids were built as tombs for deceased Pharaohs and their consorts. For thousands of years they were the largest structures on earth. The earliest pyramid known is that of The Step Pyramid in Saqqara. It was built in the year 2650 B.C. Near the Step Pyramid there are many mastaba tombs belonging to the Pharaohs family. Unlike the rooms inside the Pyramids, their walls are richly decorated.

The best known pyramids are undoubtedly the ones at Giza. The largest of them is The Great Pyramid of Keops that was built around 2589 B.C. It is 145.75 meters high. It is also the only remaining “Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”.

The Pyramid of Khafre (143.5 meters high) is believed to be built by Mycerinus, the son of Khafre. The Pyramid of Mycerinus that Mycerinus started building for himself is finished by his son Shepseskaf.

The Bent Pyramid in Dahshur is considered the first ‘real’ pyramid. It's limestone outer casing is largely in tact. Pharaoh Sneferu, who wasn't very happy with the Bent Pyramid, ordered the building of The Red Pyramid to the North.

Sun Boat Museum

In 1954 a real sized old Egyptian boat was found in a pit near the Great Pyramid. It took 14 years to put together the 1200 peaces using old materials like wooden nails and ropes of grass.

We would like to thank Mr. Mohamed Abdel Fatah, Mr. Ibrahim Ahmed Hussein and their family and friends for their support during our stay in Egypt.

Egypt Top Attractions

The Pyramids of Giza are located on the outskirts of Cairo on the Giza Plateau. They are an important symbol of the grandeur of the ancient Egypt civilisation. These iconic structures, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure, are celebrated as the only surviving wonders of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The pyramids were built over 4,500 years ago as tombs for pharaohs. Today, these pyramids are famous for their colossal size, architectural precision, and historical significance. You can also see the Great Sphinx nearby, which adds to the experience.  A visit to the Pyramids offers a glimpse into ancient Egypt's rich culture and beliefs.The construction of the pyramids, especially the Great Pyramid, remains one of humanity's most incredible achievements. It involved the transportation and assembly of millions of limestone blocks with astonishing accuracy. This area was once a bustling necropolis, serving both as a ceremonial site and a testament to the pharaohs' power and religious beliefs. The Giza complex not only attracts millions of tourists but also continues to be a focal point for archaeological study and exploration.Location: Al-Ahram Street, GizaTimings: 8 am to 5 pmPrice: 80 Egyptian pounds per adult (entry fee)

Also known as the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, The Egyptian Museum of Cairo is a treasure trove of ancient wonders. It is located in the heart of Tahrir Square and boasts an impressive collection of over 170,000 artefacts. These collections span from the Predynastic Period to the Graeco-Roman Era (approximately 5500 BC to AD 364) and showcase the splendour of ancient Egypt. The museum's architecture is designed by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. The museum has 100 exhibition halls to give us a glimpse of pharaohs, gods, and daily life in ancient Egypt. The Isis Keystone that is found in the main entrance serves as a fitting welcome for the museum.From intricately carved statues of gods and kings to dazzling jewellery and exquisite sarcophagi, the museum houses thousands of precious Egyptian artefacts. While each artefact at the museum has a deep history behind it, the Mask of Tutankhamun is the primary highlight. The Mask of Tutankhamun is a solid gold funerary mask embellished with precious gemstones. This 8th-century mask once covered the face of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun in his tomb. Other prime highlights are Menkaure Triads, Ramesses II Child and the God Horus, The Rosetta Stone and the Mummy Room. Masterpiece statues at the museum include Hor son of Ankh Khonsu Ptolemaic King, and Psametik.Location: Midan al-Tahrir, DowntownTimings: 9 am to 5 pm except on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Nestled on Gezira Island, Cairo Tower soars above the cityscape as an iconic symbol of modernity and strength. With its staggering height of 187 meters, it stands as the tallest structure in North Africa. It also symbolises the nation's architectural and cultural advancement. The tower was designed by the renowned Egyptian architect Naoum Shebib. Its completion in 1961 marked a pivotal moment in Egypt's architectural history. The tower's design is inspired by the lotus flower, a significant symbol in ancient Egyptian culture. It embodies the nation's rich heritage and its stride towards progress.Cairo Tower is more than just an architectural feat. It also embodies a story of national pride and independence. It was constructed with funds originally provided by the US, intended as political influence. However, President Gamal Abdel Nasser used these funds to build the tower. His bold move transformed the tower into a symbol of Egypt's refusal to be swayed by external powers. Today, Cairo Tower attracts visitors for its historical significance and the unparalleled views it offers. From here, one can witness the majestic Nile River and the ancient Pyramids of Giza. The tower's rotating restaurant and observation deck add to its fame. They also let you enjoy a 360-degree view of the city, making it a must-visit destination. By night, the tower gets lit up, serving as a symbol of Egypt's enduring legacy and its vibrant future.Location: Cairo, Egypt Timings: 9:00 AM to 1:00 AMPrice: 70 Egyptian Pounds per Adult

10 Landmarks Around The World That Are Worth Planning The Vacation

• Planning a bucket list can be daunting, but don't miss out on the global wonders like Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China.
• Some landmarks are remote, while others are in major cities, but all represent stunning architecture and nature.
• Insider tips include bringing water and hiring a tour driver for Angkor Wat, staying late for the pyramid light show at the Great Pyramid of Giza, and booking tickets ahead for the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Planning out a bucket list destination list can be a daunting task because there never seems to be enough time to see and do anything, but there are some global wonders that simply shouldn't be missed. From the UNESCO-recognized , sky-high ancient ruins of Machu Picchu to the serpentine Great Wall of China , there's plenty to explore in every corner of the world.

Some of these destinations are remote, but they're well worth the journey. Others, like the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, are right in the heart of major metropolises. All of them are representative of the best of ancient architecture, stunning nature, or both. These are the best landmarks around the world worth visiting.

Siem Reap's Angkor Wat is a massive ancient temple complex that represents the glory of the long-gone Khmer Empire. It's a gigantic collection of structures that look at the sunrise, although visitors should expect a lot of crowds at that popular time.
