George Reisner, renowned American Egyptologist, is considered a founding father of modern scientific archaeology
More than a century ago, George Reisner directed the Harvard University-Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Expedition to the Giza Plateau.
Over the last ten years, the Expedition’s impressive collection of documents has been meticulously digitized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Play the interactive online experience to roam at will in 3D throughout the Necropolis, follow guided tours of the monuments, and browse all the pictures and collected objects meticulously reconstructed in 3D.
Peter Der Manuelian, Harvard’s Philip J. King Professor of Egyptology since June 2010, regularly uses 3D immersion in teaching his students at Harvard University.
Giza 3D paves the way for a new modern type of museology, with immersive displays and interactive terminals.
“The freedom to navigate through the Giza necropolis in real-time 3D, to observe it from any angle and in various stages of completion, offers novel possibilities for archaeological research.”
“Various arrangements of the monuments can be prototyped in no time, allowing quick and simple testing of multiple hypotheses. 3D thus opens up exciting new research prospects.”
