It’s no surprise: Ancient Egypt captures our attention even thousands of years after its fall. Known for its elusive nature (why did the Ancient Egyptians believe in so many gods? How exactly did they build the pyramids?), the famous civilization is shrouded in secrecy. So many documentaries have been made on the subject — a testament to its relevance even today.
Horizon of Khufu shines light on Ancient Egypt and all its mysteries. Thanks to its captivating VR, you’ll be plunged into the time period, ducking through the pyramids of Giza, experiencing cultural rites, and witnessing the incredible fauna and flora of the Giza plateau. Created with the help of Harvard researchers, Horizon of Khufu is a historically accurate journey you don’t want to miss.

Horizon of Khufu: A Journey to Ancient Egypt
An unparalleled journey through the Giza necropolis
As soon as you put on your headset, you’ll be transported to Ancient Egypt. The VR takes you to a parallel universe without leaving Denver, unraveling the Giza plateau before your very eyes. It’s almost as if you were a fly on the wall in 1500 B.C., taking in the beauty of the Nile and the palm trees that deck its banks.
The whole experience, you’ll be guided by a virtual guide and fellow participants in avatar form. Past participants were amazed at the interactivity of the experience, so be sure to bring some comfy shoes: you’ll be walking and ducking for the majority of your 45-minute journey!
Created with the collaboration of Harvard egyptologists
Horizon of Khufu is unlike any Ancient Egypt-inspired experience you’ll find in Denver. Crafted with the support of Egyptology professor Peter der Manuelian and his team at Harvard, the VR journey makes use of real data and artifact knowledge from the Giza Project. When you experience Horizon of Khufu, you’re reliving Ancient Egypt as historically accurate as possible — from cultural references to landscapes and everything in between.
