It's a truly immersive show

The experience opens tomorrow
And we got a sneak peek inside the incredible show ahead of opening.
The exhibition invites visitors to step back in time and embark on an exhilarating journey through ancient Egypt, discovering the myths and mysteries surrounding Pharaoh Tutankhamun.
But unlike your usual museum experience, this puts you right at the heart of the action with mind-bending virtual reality and incredible artefacts.
The exhibition starts with a fun photo op before taking you round a walkway with giant screens telling your the history of Egypt and the boy king.
Along the way there are jaw-dropping graphics before visitors are taken into a room with incredible artefacts from the great discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.
Some are replicas, showing the detail and a opulence of the treasures the ruler was buried with. Meanwhile, the real artefacts give a fascinating insight into burials thousands of years ago.
There's a section dedicated to Howard Carter, the archaeologist who made the life-changing discovery.
And then you're into the virtual reality section,
Created in collaboration with Egyptologists and historians, the exhibition features one of Europe's most expansive immersive video mapping rooms.
You are taken through Tutankhamun's story in stunning, immersive detail.
Revealing the Hidden Secrets of Egyptian Pyramid Construction (1)
The moment of the discovery of the tomb is described in a recorded interview of Howard Carter, the famous British archaeologist, adding an extraordinary layer of authenticity to the experience.
Next up, visitors get to try a 360-degree seated virtual reality experience, journeying into the mystical Egyptian afterlife. This really is astonishing, you really feel like you are floating through unknown realms.
And finally, you get to walk through a digital metaverse, exploring Howard Carter's basecamp and reliving the monumental moment of the 1922 discovery in its full glory.
I've tried experiences like this before, but this one blows them all out of the water. The virtual reality sections are mind-blowing but even the simpler artefact parts are just as amazing to see.
The show is on at the SEC from tomorrow until October 26 before going on a wider European tour.

Drake concert cancelled due to ‘unforeseen' travel issues
The Canadian musician was due to perform at Manchester's Co-Op Live Arena on Monday July 28, however, has had to reschedule the gig due to 'unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics'. The 38-year old, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, will instead perform at the venue on August 5. The news was shared in a statement on the Co-Op live website, which said: 'Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow's performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled. 'The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it's set to be an unforgettable night. 'All tickets remain valid for the new date—we can't wait to see you there!' This comes after Drake released a new song, Which One, on Thursday with British rapper Central Cee. Drake is midway through the UK leg of his Some Special Shows 4 U tour with Partynextdoor, marking his first return to Europe in six years. Earlier this month Drake performed at Wireless Festival in London after signing a multi-million pound deal to top the bill each night of the three nights. The Canadian brought out UK heavyweights Dave, Central Cee and J Hus as surprise guests during one of his performances on the main stage in Finsbury Park. He also performed with Lauryn Hill on one of the three nights. The five-time Grammy-award winning artist will head to mainland Europe in August with concerts scheduled in Amsterdam, Zurich, and Milan and Paris. The artist is best known for his hit songs One Dance, Hold On We're Going Home, and Hotline Bling.

My boyfriend makes spicy content with his own brother – people are so judgmental, but he makes loads of cash
Ryan has insisted that the content he makes with his brother isn't 'weird' FAMILY MATTERS My boyfriend makes spicy content with his own brother – people are so judgmental, but he makes loads of cash Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed that her boyfriend makes explicit content with his own brother. Gigi and Ryan are both adult content creators, and met last year at an awards ceremony. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ryan and Gigi are both adult content creators Credit: Love Don't Judge 2 Ryan makes gay content with his brother Andy Credit: Love Don't Judge Ryan said that he had previously struggled to date girls in the past, as although they were fine with him making adult content, they couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that it was gay content. When the couple met, Gigi already knew that Ryan made content with this brother, and says it doesn't bother her. Ryan's brother Andy first decided to get into adult content 15 years ago, when he was living in a hostel in London, and struggling to make ends meet. He got offered £600 to make a solo video for an adult website, and said it "changed my life." After seeing the success his brother was having with content creation, Ryan asked Andy to help him out and the brothers now make spicy content together three or four times a week. Andy first told Ryan not to join the industry, as he didn't think he would be able to cope with the online trolls, but Ryan was adamant that he was going to do it with or without Andy's help. Ryan assured that although he films content with his brother its not "weird", as if they are filming a group scene, they are at opposite ends, and never touch each other. He added that one of them is usually behind the camera, to avoid physical contact. "I would say it does feel weird watching my brother sleep with other people, but at the end of the day, it's just work", Ryan told Love Don't Judge. However, he admitted that things did get out of hand once during a group scene, when Andy "sprayed his blast out everywhere." Mexico's sexiest fan and weather girl poses in bra and dressing gown as she celebrates four years on OnlyFans Ryan, who is known for dressing up as a builder in explicit videos, said that family were at first judgmental, but now that they've seen how well he's doing, they support his career choice. However, he added that he has lost a lot of friends who have spread vicious rumours about his job. Gigi added that all of her friends know that Ryan makes gay content with his brother, and none have batted an eyelid. "I've never really thought too much about them making content together", she said. What is OnlyFans? OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London. As of 2023, it is thought to have more than 220million registered users and over three million content creators. Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more. While popular for porn, the site isn't exclusively designed with that in mind - anyone who wants to build up a fan base and charge them for it can set one up. Celebs like Katie Price and Kerry Katona are popular personalities on the platform. "Whether you're uploading tutorials, tips, behind-the-scenes footage or just endless selfies, a lot of your followers would be willing to pay for them," the company states. For every subscription that's sold to a viewer, performers get 80 per cent of the cash while OnlyFans gets the rest. It isn't limited to adult content, as it has become popular with physical fitness experts and musicians. "If they were doing it in their spare time I would think it was a bit odd, but they don't". However, the adult content maker did admit that she herself would never make content with her brother. Ryan revealed that he gets a lot of hate comments from people, many of whom criticise him for "pretending" to be gay. However, he thinks it's all worth it, as he makes £15,000 a month.
