3D Unveils the Mystery of the Great Pyramid
The secret of the construction of the pyramid of Khufu in Egypt has
always held people in fascination. Numerous theories have been put
forward but none has yetstood up to analysis.
Eight years ago, the architect Jean-Pierre Houdin had a flash of
intuition and developed a revolutionary theory. Considering Khufu'
monumental undertaking as the first industrial construction project in
history, he turned to Dassault Systèmes technology to test his
hypotheses and feed his thought processes. So it was that he joined the
'Passion for Innovation' programme.
Having demonstrated the validity of the theory with the aid of their
scientific 3D solutions, Dassault Systèmes invite you to enjoy an
extraordinary journey through time and space. Relive the Great Pyramid
construction project in real-time 3D!
