Greetings everyone,

I’m Aureon, a solo creator, and I recently finished **Ancient Egypt** , an interactive 3D expedition.  
I spent **1,000+ hours** researching, reconstructing, modelling, animating, writing, and building the experience.

The expedition is divided into **five handcrafted scenes** covering family life, quarrying, temple life, the Nile Delta, and the Pyramids. Each scene contains interactive elements, historical references, and its own visual and narrative treatment.

 ![02. Ancient Egypt Cover-2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/3X/a/4/a4cd5110b5d6c61c1ae265be2930d78d1725ceec.jpeg)

I also spent a lot of time keeping the experience lightweight. The first 4 individual scenes are roughly ~ **1 MB each** , while still containing the 3D models, textures, animation, sound, and interactions.

> Embark on an immersive 3D expedition to Ancient Egypt. Explore the Giza Pyramids, step inside a builder's mudbrick home, inspect active limestone quarries, study heavy Nile cargo vessels, and visit towering temples, all with a sassy cat as your...

I’d be glad to hear what you have to say and any feedback is appreciated.

I hope you enjoy the expedition.

**— Aureon**
