Talking Pyramids: Ancient Egyptian Pyramids

Before the invention of fancy 3D animated movies like Avatar there was stereo photography which also required a pair of special glasses to experience the 3D effect.

Here, the two parts of the stereoscopic image are combined to form a ‘wiggle view’ by switching back and forth between the left and right eye’s view of the Great Pyramid so you don’t have to wear the glasses.

‘Wiggle Vision’, now that’s high tech!

The niche entrance to ‘Houdin’s Chamber’ can easily be observed about two thirds of the way up the north-eastern edge of the pyramid.

A stereoscopic animation created by Thiophene_Guy from the original image, ‘Reflecting pyramid & mounted camelman’ from the Matson collection. The image, taken circa 1934-1939, has no known restrictions on publication. Thiophene_Guy’s animation is used here with some rights reserved.
