Index of tomb types in Prehistoric and Old Kingdom Egypt

Here are some of the 3D reconstruction models of the tomb types.
You will need a recent version of VRML plug-in to view the 3D models. If you do not have one already on your system, please click here and follow the instructions.
Please note that each VRML model is approximately 200 KB in file size (.gz compressed) and may also require some extra amount of computer resource on the local side.

This page offers the 3D models in the following two media types.

1. Pictures of the 3D models in JPEG format
2. 3D models in VRML format
