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.

Expected more...

...not worth what I paid for it.

Does not work on iPad

This does Not work on iPad. It opens then immediately closes. I am disappointed. Can't seem to contact the company from their app page.

Beautiful; with exceptions.

Vituperative Green on

The app is very visually appealing but not very structured, with so many choices and so little information as to where to start, we found it difficult to take in. Also, once inside the sites it would be nice if there was a little more background information on the people or history surrounding them, as it seems like what is offered is really just window dressing...

Won't run

Last update was in December, no update to fix it. The app was expensive and now it is completely useless to me. Does not work on first gen iPads. I'm still hoping that they fix it.

French please !!!

As with the earlier comment about the Dec update - y'all broke it for the large ipad1 audience. The APP opens and then immediately collapses - APP remains loaded but will not stay open full screen. Please fix ASAP. For a company that produces such amazing products (The Elements being my first experience) you show amazing shortsightedness when updating APPs. IOS devices tend to see long lives and the install base of older iPAD users is not shrinking so much as migrating - the trickle down principle. I understand updating APPs to support new iOS devices and releases but fail to see the logic behind compromising support for earlier versions. It would be simple, for example in the case of The Elements, to maintain an earlier release of the APP so that pre-iOS 7 devices may still purchase and install the APP. Rating will return to 5 stars when it works again... :-)

Not working

Recommended as a good app to show off the new ipad air... But although I get audio, no video at all. Hopefully this is being looked into.

High Quality App

Got this for 3.99 special and it's well worth the price. This is a high quality app that works and looks great on ipad 4. It's also a great learning tool about ancient Egypt.

Great app, but subtitles needed in some areas

DavidN1953 on

This is a wonderful educational app, is really well done, and has lots of content. The only reason that I am removing one star from my review is due to the lack of subtitles during the voice overs when entering the various tombs and pyramids. It is puzzling that a developer making educational apps would ignore the needs of those who are hearing impaired. Hopefully, there will be a future update to address this issue, and which time I would upgrade my ratings to five star.

Love it

I love love love love it! Totally worth $14, it would be REALLY cool if you could make an app that allowed us to explore the tombs of the valley of the kings😃
