Interactive Egypt - Tutankhamun


What happens when you go deeply into the past, let's say sixthousand years back and wrap it up in a historical view about the time of Ancient Egypt, using an interactive media and a really participative approach for the users?

Everybody want's to discover things - and loves the challenge instead of pure consumption. So the Tutankhamun Exhibition and the interested people on the matter can come closer to the Aegyptology than ever before, by "touching" the topics and making interactive experience with this new e-tool.

Tutankhamun- secrets and gold made him a famous star. He became a icon with his golden mask and there is an new exhibition on tour in USA - you shurely now. Starting in Los Angeles , Chicago, Fort Lauderdale Florida, Philadelphia. I suggest to look to the website of the Swiss E-Learning version of the exhibition which is www.tutankhamun-game.com
The title Tutankhamun might suggest that the content of this CD-ROM is just about this Egyptian monarch. It is true that quite some fields of the ancient Egyptian culture and archeological research are explained by the example of this king (e.g. a virtual visit of his tomb, the discovery of his tomb, where the player will slip into the skin of discoverer Howard Carter), but "edutainment" will bring insight the whole cultural environment in the time of the pharaohs.

And now a question: what can we do if a product is good but they do not spend money for marketing and advertisment? Probably waiting until the users atention is so high that the product sells itself as it merits.
