The secret of the pyramid builders

The secret of the pyramid builders

In the footsteps of Egyptian genius

More than 4 years ago, the builders of ancient Egypt erected the greatest pyramid ever constructed: the Pyramid of Khufu. A masterpiece of engineering and an icon of the funerary complex of Giza, it continues to raise countless questions. Through an unprecedented immersive expedition, set off to explore the most fascinating construction site in History and attempt to unravel the secrets behind its creation.

Between mythology and archaeological discoveries, The Treasure of the Builders immerses visitors in the Egypt of the pharaohs.

This experience draws on the work of international researchers such as Peter Der Manuelian (Harvard University) and the theories of Jean-Pierre Houdin. It recreates established knowledge as well as the most recent hypotheses surrounding the design of the Great Pyramid.
An adventure where scientific accuracy meets the magic of myth.

Following the worldwide success of The Horizon of Khufu, this new immersive expedition brings back to life the genius of the ancient Egyptian builders.
From the Giza Plateau to the port of Wadi al-Jarf near the Red Sea, discover a fascinating narrative where history, poetry and technology intertwine to spark emotion. An experience at the crossroads of knowledge and contemplation.

In the heart of the King's Chamber, Mona, a young Egyptologist, reveals mysterious inscriptions when an extraordinary creature appears, guardian of the secrets of Khufu. Guided by the goddess Bastet, visitors board the solar barque for a journey between sky and desert, between myth and knowledge.
From the banks of the Nile to the summit of the pyramid, The Treasure of the Builders celebrates the unity of a people, the beauty of knowledge, and the greatness of a dream that became eternal.
