After more than two million people around the world have had this experience, “Cheops Horizon: Journey to Ancient Egypt” is finally coming to Lisbon. From this Friday, December 5, the subway room of the Terreiro do Paço Metro Station promises to be the destination of many visitors of all ages.
Without having to leave Lisbon or even visit a museum, “Horizon of Cheops: Journey to Ancient Egypt” offers an immersive journey (in virtual reality) into the heart of this emblematic civilization, full of secrets yet to be uncovered. For about an hour, you’ll cross the Nile in period boats, explore the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza and much more.
A world of gods, pharaohs and mysterious corridors
Visiting the pyramids of Ancient Egypt is a dream for many… and one that will become a reality thanks to new technologies. On a journey back 4,500 years, and with the help of an Egyptian mythological figure, get ready to explore the depths of the monumental pyramids and their mysterious corridors.
In this surprisingly real virtual world, you’ll not only uncover the architecture, but you’ll also cross paths with important gods from Egyptian mythology, such as Bastet, and observe the process of embalming mummies. The best part? Every detail is the result of quality historical research, led by Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian (from Harvard University).
Lisbon’s most secret time travel
The setting chosen to host the experience is as surprising as the journey: the Underground Room of Terreiro do Paço Metro Station. A fascinating paradox: leaving the modern heart of Lisbon to dive into the ancient and narrow Egyptian corridors.
Promoted in partnership by Excurio and Fever, this experience offers a more than clear window into the past. If you want to see your history book come to life, this is the perfect opportunity. Tickets are on sale on the official platform.
