  • Picture Perfect 3D Pyramids!

    This app is second to none! Visiting the Giza Plateau in person is the only thing that could possibly compare. Even then, not all the sites documented in this app are accessible to the public in Egypt.

    This amazing app will take you back thousands of years to life as it was in ancient Egypt and the wonders of the pyramids and tombs on the Giza Plateau.

    From the virtual tour of the plateau and inside the pyramids and tombs, to the 3D images of King Tut's death mask and a close look at the hieroglyphics on the tomb walls, this app really does cover it all. The views of these fascinating monuments (as they appear now and how they appeared thousands of years ago) are spectacular!

    There are so many truly beautiful images with such accurate and fascinating information, both written and narrated. This app is worth the price of a plane fare ticket to Egypt and the iPad combined!

    Thank you so much Dr Zahi Hawass, Sandro Vannini and Bram Calcoen for their areas of expertise towards this app and to Touch Press for bringing it all to life! It is very much appreciated by someone with an Egyptian heritage who has longed to visit Egypt to see the wonders of the ancient world.

    Do not hesitate in buying this app. It is worth every cent!

  • Wonderful app!

    Love this - a big hit with the grandchildren. Even my father, who visited Egypt in the 1940s, is mesmerised by the objects and tours of the tombs - all effortless, from his armchair. I have visted Egypt too and would love to go back to see more. This the next best thing - but without the oppressive heat, strain and crowds!

    A must for schools. Highly recommended.

  • Visit or revisit Giza virtually.

    If you've been to Giza, or want to go, you will love this app. Excellent detail, beautiful graphics, the chance to 'visit' several tombs as well as go inside the pyramids - this is a terrific resource. The accompanying book is interesting, too. If this is the way of the future in e-publishing, then it's going to be great fun. Recommended to all Egyptophiles.

  • Wonders of the pyramids - a must for budding Egyptologists!

    My young daughter loves all things Egypt and this really brings it to life for her. Really informative app and beautiful images. Well worth the price for a proper educational app about the pyramids. If you can't get to see the pyramids in real life, this is certainly the next best thing!
  • Awesome!

    The title says it all! (Well not really.)I really like this app, is helps me with my homework and studying because I am only 11 and in middle school. This is one of the most amazing apps I have never seen! Is shows you many statues, and is incredibly detailed! And of course 3D. :) I rate this five stars, I don't blame them if it's $14.00. It has a lot of things to it. My teacher showed this in class to me and my classmates and we thought it was really cool! And it is!!! :P Great app guys!

  • Pyramids 3d

    This is a fantastic app, you can explore the pyramids as if you were there and keep seeing more! No tourists, just you! I love it and s o does my 10 year old son...he just kept saying 'wow this is amazing!' I highly recommend it. Hours of discovery to look forward to. Thank you! Great value.
  • Very exciting...but needs more for the price

    I enjoyed this app every time I tapped on the iPad(except for the few times the controls got tricky). The pyramids look great and I really liked seeing the hieroglyphs and sphinx close up. This app is awesome, but could use some more for the price you have to pay, maybe add in the Valley of the Kings another interesting site. Or the labyrinth under that area.maybe more enhanced wall paintings.
    I really enjoy learning more about Ancient Egypt and this app did educate me on a lot of things about the pyramids and tombs of that era. Good app, could be better, if we get good updates...

  • Набор средненьких фотографий

    Да и это все что вы знаете о этом? Да ужас ... Вандализм стыдно.. А никому в голову не приходило что это ни какого отношения к египтянам , то есть одинаково что к всей цивилизации людей одинаково что это у них типа музея тоже... А что же с другими комнатами в пирамидах ? А где комнаты в сфинксе? Это что военная тайна ? А что может и назначение и систему применения пирамид знаете? А вы иероглифы читать то умеете? В общем от силы 12% и только очень поверхностно . Смотреть на все это стыдно особенно на все эти ужасные надписи на стенах , на ваших могилах надо бы так позор ужас бесстыдство безграмотность и бездарщина. И те фараончики тоже самое на чирикали и поганили такую штуку ...

  • Interesting but not enough substance

    Like many people I have always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt. Unfortunately I haven't yet made the long planned trip to see the incredible sites for myself. With the recent political changes in that country may trip may have to be postponed for a while longer. Consequenrly I was delighted to find this app in the store with the promise of a virtual tour of the famed Giza plateau and guided narration.

    While the app is certainly fun, it falls short becuase the narration is so limited. The included "book" is fun but short and contains only abbreviated information...no real depth.

    While it is clearly fun to explore the 3D world, it soon becomes apparent how much detail is lacking in the 3D world when the actual photos of the areas are compared.

    This is also a pricey app for what it is.

    I'd like to see much more audio narration and explanation of artifacts.
