Egypt
Cemetery G2100 Virtual Exhibit
harvard.edu
The exhibit recreates 10 mastaba-tombs from Cemetery G 2100 of Giza Necropolis in both Second Life and Google Earth virtual worlds. The majority of the archaeological diagrams and photographs used to create the models were made by the Harvard University–Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition to Egypt (1902-1942), under the direction of archaeologist George Reisner. The modern color photographs and panoramas were created and collected by the Giza Archives Project. The project, headed by Peter Der Manuelian, is a repository for Reisner's findings, as well as all archaeological publications pertaining to the Giza Necropolis.
To experience this exhibit, first download the Second Life and Google Earth software clients. After your Second Life account is created, follow this link to the exhibit on iCommons island.
