Reasons To Go 'King Tut' Virtual

It's Fun

The real Valley of the Kings may not have been designed with your enjoyment in mind, but the virtual version certainly was! In King Tut Virtual you can visit the exhibition with friends, or meet other people with the same interests.

Once you start mastering the little tricks you will have a great time simply just flying around the Valley of the Kings or taking a hot air balloon ride to your next historical site.

You can also ramp up your knowledge by taking online tours, and even get tutorials from real life experts. If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Howard Carter, you can test your skills in our popular Digging Game.

It's Free

Yes, free! To register and to go virtual doesn't cost a penny. Plus, once you're there everything is on the house: a wardrobe full of clothing, free balloon rides over the Valley of the Kings, entry to the museum with audio tours. The full package.

It's also risk-free. We guarantee that you will have more fun by registering and creating your character, or avatar. But if you're not quite ready to commit to your new virtual life, you can choose to  have a sneak peek first. You'll miss out on the fun of customizing your avatar, but this version does allow you to see most of the virtual exhibition in just two clicks.

Both the full and 'sneak' versions are absolutely free, and you can join - or leave - the virtual world whenever you like.

It's Innovative

If you want to be at the forefront of 'edutainment' technology, then this is the place to be. This way of learning is no longer flat -  it is in 3D, it's interactive. What's even better is that you are the one in control.

Of course, you could always stick with books and dusty museum catalogues. But how much fun would that be, compared to a balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, in fancy dress?

We know which world we'd like to be in!

So what are you waiting for?

There are plenty of excellent reasons to log yourself onto Virtual King Tut and start exploring the ancient world. Here are just a few of them:

It's Simple

King Tut's virtual tomb is not as tough to crack as the real thing. Forget expensive flights and years of painstaking excavations. In the virtual world, you are only two clicks away from discovering the famous tomb, as well as many other stunning artefacts.

Once inside, you can simply wander around at your own pace, going where you want, when you want. In Virtual, there are no queues or admission fees or dodgy rip-off tour guides to get between you and the wonders of the ancient world.

It's High Quality

We have access to extremely high quality photos by Sandro Vannini - the most famous photographer of ancient Egyptian artefacts in the world. Using a radical and pain-staking technique, we have been able to replicate each artefact in minute detail, to bring them as close to real life like as possible.

Read the detailed explanation by one of our builders to learn more about how we actually created these artefacts in the 3D world.

It's Very Educational

The minute you enter a new virtual world you will instantly start learning new skills. We will make sure that you are equiped with all the skills you need to make the most of your time in the 3D environment.

We highly recommend watching our video tutorial so you can learn how to navigate in Heritage Key VX. Once you're comfortable with moving around and zooming your camera you will be able to access a wealth of information about each artefact. Find out about the people, and the extraordinary adventures, that led to the some of the greateset discoveries of the world.

Neuroscientists have confirmed what we in the virtual world always suspected; virtual worlds are one of the most effective classrooms. Learning is much more effective when you are immersed in the learning experience, when you can touch and hold an object rather than just looking at a picture in a book. So if you want to really swot up on King Tut, this is the place to do it.
