About this game

In 1925, the Harvard University & Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition under George Reisner made one of its greatest discoveries at Giza:

Buried under sand, hidden among other tombs, lay the mysterious tomb G 7000X, which some believe was the final resting place of Queen Hetepheres I., mother of pharaoh Khufu.

Join the expedition that discovered this strange tomb and help them solve the mysteries that lay within.

Narrated by famous Egyptologist and Harvard Professor Peter Manuelian, you can visit a tomb that has been sealed shut for almost a century.
