A project dubbed Giza 3D makes it possible for anyone to jump online and stroll cruise reviews norwegian majesty through the Giza Plateau in a virtual world built entirely on scientific research and archeological discoveries. So rather than simply reading about it on paper, students can click around and explore the pyramids on the internet.

"What is important for us is to create a community around this experience," Mehdi Tayoubi, VP of design and experimental cruise reviews norwegian majesty strategy at Dassault Systèmes, told Mashable . "You can bring kids to this virtual environment and they will understand, but if you adapt what you say, it will work for an entirely different audience."
Considering the massive amount of work put into the Giza 3D project so far, it's only about 10 percent complete. They still plan to add the Pyramid of Khafre, the middle of the Necropolis's three pyramids, and the Sphinx. Dassault is also working on recreating the history cruise reviews norwegian majesty of Paris in a similar 3D world.
