Thre have been a couple of articles reacently about attempts to creat virtual experiences of ancient Egypt. Shawn Graham reports on a work in progress:
I confess, I am not very aware of what’s going on in Egyptology - but visitors to Rossella Lorenzi’s new space in Second Life certainly will become so!
Rossella is a reporter for the Discovery Channel, and maintains a blog about the latest happenings in the world of archaeology. Recently, she’s been crafting a ‘Chamber of Secrets’ that recreates the passage from the world of the living to the world of the dead - or at least, how that was conceived in the ‘Amduat - the Book of the Secret Chamber’ and ‘the Book of Gates’. These funerary texts were thought to contain, according to Rossella, the secret to eternal life.
