200 years ago, a young French scholar Jean-François Champollion accomplished the impossible - he cracked the code of hieroglyphs, which had remained mute for over a millennium. Thanks to his decipherment, an entire civilisation buried under the sands of Egypt could come to life again. In the South, near Luxor, Egyptologists are intrigued by a richly adorned tomb, the most monumental in Egypt, larger than those of the pharaohs - the tomb of a priest named Padiamenope. Granted exclusive access to the core of the archaeological mission led by the IFAO (French Institute of Oriental Archaeology in Cairo), we are introduced to their latest discoveries. Thanks to an exceptional setup of 3D virtual tours plunging into the dark, stifling hot depths of this Palace of Hieroglyphs, we'll be able to uncover the secrets of the priests, scribes, painters, engravers, and builders who created that grand funerary monument.
