Inspired by King Tutankhamun, METATUT allows visitors to travel through time and space to learn about Egyptian history.
Meet METATUT – A metaverse inspired by King Tutankhamun
Cairo-based creative community hub TUTERA has partnered with metaverse platform Spatial.io to launch METATUT, Egypt’s first virtual city.
To bring the history of the ancient empire to life through concept design, the company unveiled METATUT as a city inspired by King Tutankhamun. It was also developed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of the youngest Egyptian pharaoh.
Visitors can travel through time and space and learn about Egyptian civilization in this immersive city. According to TUTERA, METAUT has four public spaces. They are the Valley of the Kings, the Room of the Sun, Akhenaten’s Palace, and the Magical Melody Room.
At Akhenaten Palace, visitors can experience an ancient pharaoh’s journey through four stages: Path of the Egyptian Gods, Transition Area, Land of Nowhere, and Hall of Immortal Love.
METATUT currently has only four portals, but the company plans to open other spaces by the end of December, including the Nefertiti Palace and its Hall of Glory. Users can use VR headgear or access the virtual city from their desktop or mobile device.
“After the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, we thought of establishing a platform where people could visit and interact,” said Dr. Somaya Bahy Eldin, vice president of TUTERA, with Reuters said in an interview. “They can interact by seeing ancient Egyptian civilization, hearing historical stories, and sightseeing in the city.”
The Metaverse is widely known for its online games, but METATUT showed how this technology can also be applied for educational purposes. For those interested, visit this page to visit the first Egyptian city in the Metaverse.
