The immersive exhibition offered by the Atelier des Lumières instantly transports you to the heart of Ancient Egypt for a unique experience! Immerse yourself in this legendary civilization that has fascinated for millennia.
From the beginning, the remnants of Ancient Egypt are unveiled, with grains of sand lifted by the wind heralding the exhibition. Explore from the outset the Egyptian cosmogony, where divine forces clash before the advent of humanity.
As humanity appears, the journey continues along the sacred Nile, offering a glimpse of the fascinating power of nature, with the rhythm of floods and seasons promoting the evolution of fauna and flora.
After this immersion in nature, the daily life of Egyptian society is illuminated through paintings, bas-reliefs, and papyrus. The remarkable achievements of the Egyptians, including the construction of majestic pyramids, are illustrated through the gradual projection of huge blocks, culminating in the magnificent tombs of the kings.
You will also discover the process of constructing colossal sculptures of the pharaohs and the treasures of Egyptian queens, testifying to the wealth and power of this civilization.
This fascinating journey will take you through hundreds of temples dedicated to multiple deities, as well as cultural, spiritual, economic, and political centers, including the Valley of the Kings and Queens, brimming with dazzling wonders.
To conclude this wonderful discovery, you will be led directly to the astronomical ceiling of Dendera, revealing a tiny part of this fascinating Ancient Egypt, where so many mysteries remain to be explored.
