Description

With this beautiful iPad app you can explore the incredible pyramids and tombs of ancient Egypt. Fly around the plateau where the pyramids and the Sphinx are located at Giza near Cairo. Enter and wander around the labyrinthine tombs and passageways. Examine stunning wall paintings in incredible detail, rotate royal statues and spin 3D objects. Everything has been painstakingly recreated from ultra-high-resolution digital imagery captured on location in Egypt by Sandro Vannini, the world's greatest photographer of archeological sites and antiquities.

To help explain and illuminate the world of the ancient Egyptians, there is an accompanying interactive book, specially written by world-renowned Egyptologist, Zahi Hawass with other expert archeologists. Touch any painting or object in the pyramids and tombs to discover what they represent, who made them and what place they have in the culture of the Old Kingdom. This exquisite app breaks new ground in presenting the treasures of the past and bringing them alive in your hands on the iPad.

Nice but broken for iPad Air

This is (was) a great app, currently the tour portions just display a black screen on the iPad Air. Hope it is fixed soon as the extra power of the ipad Air should make it less laggy.

Fantastic

I got this app when it first came out and I loved it. I still love it now. As for price, people don’t realize how much effort it takes to create apps like this. You pay about the same for a burger and fries and your money is gone (the stomach ache lingers for a while though).
This app is great for children and adults, so don’t hesitate...get it now. Oh, one more thing: why are great apps hidden, while terrible apps are pushed? The previous App Store was bad, but the latest is as terrible as terrible can be. Please Apple, you can do better than this!
