Stupid question but a serious one on my end : I would pay to get an actual guide to go through this and teach me, just like I did on travel. Would you?

It seems like between the environment, Covid and the geopolitical situations in many places it could be a way to still feel like I can enjoy some of the priceless pieces the humans have created.

Last year High Fidelity took one of these tombs and built a VR version that they had an Egyptologist doing tours in. Was pretty cool, sad that they closed the platform.

Oh my that sounds exactly like what I mean. Someone that would carry me through the magic of the place live :). I'll have a look if I can find some resources about it thanks!

Cheers! In my case the live experience does matter a lot though. Otherwise I could also watch a documentary in HR for example. I'd like someone to make me live the place

National Geographic has a VR app that does something similar: https://venturebeat.com/2019/11/10/machu-picchu-is-coming-to...

Also Anne Frank's House, recreated in 3d with some documentary: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/go/1596151970428159/?loca...
