00:00Cleopatra, ancient Egypt's most iconic queen, has captivated imaginations for centuries.
00:06Now an immersive exhibition claims to bring her world back to life through holograms,
00:12the metaverse and AI.
00:14Everybody has an idea of Cleopatra and what her story means.
00:18People are going to get a strong visual, in particular, sense of the background to this
00:24story.
00:24Nine interactive galleries guide visitors through Cleopatra's Egypt, but the rise of
00:29high-tech exhibitions also raises questions.
00:32How much does digital spectacle help our understanding of history?
00:36Critics say immersive experiences can blur the line between historical fact and creative
00:41interpretation.
00:42Now there are lots of different ways of telling stories about the ancient world.
00:46You might read a book, you might see a TV documentary, you might go to a more conventional exhibition.
00:50All of these things are valid, but I think the great advantage of this one is that it is
00:55going to give people a really vivid idea.
00:57Alongside the visual moments, visitors can also witness more than 22 original artifacts,
01:03from terracotta sculptures to ancient papyri.
