After enchanting more than two million people around the world, ” The Horizon of Cheops: A Journey to Ancient Egypt ” is finally coming to Brussels. Starting in February, Tour & Taxis, Brussels’ venue for all things possible, promises to welcome many visitors who are passionate about Ancient Egypt or simply curious to experience a little piece of history in the first person.
Without having to leave Brussels, “ The Horizon of Cheops: A Journey to Ancient Egypt ” offers an immersive (virtual reality) journey to the heart of this iconic civilization, full of secrets still buried. For about an hour, you will cross the Nile aboard period boats, explore the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and much more.
The treasures of Ancient Egypt within reach of a headset
Visiting the pyramids of Ancient Egypt is a dream for many… and this dream is becoming a reality thanks to new technologies. Put on a headset and get ready to travel back 4,500 years in time. With the help of a virtual guide, explore the most beautiful treasures of Ancient Egypt. Walk through forbidden corridors, discover the mysteries of the Queen’s Chamber, and meet the goddess Bastet.
In this surprisingly realistic virtual world, you will learn more about the architecture of the time, as well as Egyptian mythology, encountering important gods and goddesses such as Bastet along the way, and observing the process of mummification. The real added value? The archival work! Every detail is the result of high-quality historical research carried out by Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian (a graduate of Harvard University).
A real journey through time in an iconic Brussels venue.
The setting chosen to host this experience is as interesting and rich as the journey itself: the Tour & Taxis premises. A fascinating paradox: leave the modern heart of Brussels and step directly into the ancient narrow corridors of Egypt, offering you a window into the past. If you want to see your history book come to life, this is the perfect opportunity. Embark on a unique journey already experienced by more than two million people around the world! We recommend that you sign up for the waiting list so you don’t miss out on the experience and benefit from a 20% discount on ticket prices, as well as exclusive access to the ticket office when it opens on February 4!
