Travel across time and place to be part of the greatest discovery ever. Howard Carter, after years effort, found the tomb of King Tut. When he opened this tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Egypt, the impact of the vast treasures that he found changed the world. We invite you now to make your own expedition to our virtual King Tut exhibition. Unlock the wonders of the ancient world online as you walk inside the tomb and get close to the most amazing gold and alabaster objects ever made.
Wander through the surprisingly small tomb for such a collection of objects. Take a detailed view of the gallery showcasing some of the best gold and alabaster pieces. Imagine life way back in the time of the Pharoah kings.
We will be launching King Tut Virtual soon with a new website soon. We would greatly appreciate your feedback and ideas on how to improve this area and the overall experience. If you can visit the area please do take a few minutes to take the survey here.
This area is a result of more than 12 months work. We have been researching the best possible uses of virtual world technology and think this type of environment can maximize the strengths of the exciting 3D, online, immersive platforms.
We look forward to seeing you on the grid. Visit King Tut Virtual Now!

Very glad you guys finally

It was incredible fun to do the shows, and I was sad when it closed for a while (or at least I coudln't get in whenever I wanted to). Hopefully, this means we can also have easy access to all the items from the Digital Alchemy event now, too.
Very nice build. I'm

(I love the ancient plywood cube in the Amarna section, heh.) Only real nitpick - the "Cosmic" area was difficult to navigate, although it looked gorgeous.
It needs a gift shop!
