Looking at a subject from a new angle
is often the best way
to make new discoveries…

“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.”

Peter Der Manuelian

Philip J. King Professor of Egyptology
Harvard University

“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.”
