A land and an age of Pyramids, Egypt is rich
on culture. During the era of 10th millennium BC, the people of
Egypt built the most extravagant buildings with highest amount of precision
which is yet to be achieved in the modern era. The unsolved mysteries of the
Pyramids, the reason why it was built and the tons of stone blocks used to make
the most stable structure in the universe. It is said that among all the shapes,
pyramids are the only ones that can stand through the changing environments and
time.
Egyptian lands spans through the northeast
corner to the southwest corner of Africa, a territory of about 390,000 square
miles lying with the Nile Valley. With over 88 million populations, it is the
15th most populated country in the world with its majority of the
population residing in the Nile Valley.
In Second Life, the Ancient Egypt has been
created as close to the Egypt we visualize now in real life and the image of
the Egypt that is embedded under the sands of time. At the welcome spot, room
transcends you to the land to Egypt. The heliographic walls talk of the
incredible knowledge of the past. A view of the tribes that scored the Egyptian
Lands is placed in the welcome room.
It is
requested to visit the land wearing their original form of dress. A free outfit
for both woman and man is present just at the entrance. The room is guarded by a door and a greeter
welcomes you saying, “EM HOTEP!!” By the door stands the female statue of the
gate keeper of the Egyptian Tribe.
Visit the 1/36th scale Giza Plateau, showing
all the pyramids and other features of the actual Giza Plateau. Also, above
this Plateau, are two 360º panoramic views. There is lot to explore. The bright
colors surround the deserted lands with coconut trees and huge statues standing
against time. The Nile Valley has the ruins of civilizations that once existed
near the Nile River in real life. You
can view their markets, their trade and commerce, their gigantic ships, their
docks. The landmark to the Nile Valley is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lower%20Nile%20Valley/221/110/501.

The Nile Valley also consists of grand
structures like the Giza Necropolis and its great sphinx and the ruins of
Memphis Thebes and the Valley of the Kings represent the legacy of
archaeological studies over the years. Further the version in Second Life
enunciates ancient agriculture, literature and urban settlements with a
reflection of hunter gatherers, fishers and grain grinding culture; similar to
our rural civilization.
Ancient Egypt of Second Life gives the
closest possible view of the culture we have left behind in our past. It is a
must visit place, if you would like to be transported to the 10th
Millennium BC.
