The pyramids of Egypt have captured the fancy of most students of history.

Famous authors like Agatha Christie have used the setting in their books.

The 3D tours can be accessed here.

The website also has a lot of information about pyramids, including a detailed timeline of the archeology at Giza.

Though the project is being executed by Harvard, it has 14 partner institutions and relies on artifacts and displays from 41 museums, galleries, and institutions.
