Peter Der Manuelian is Philip J. King Professor of Egyptology and Director, Harvard Semitic Museum, at Harvard University.
Digital Giza is not only a welcome contribution to Egyptology and
Old Kingdom archaeology, but also a well-designed scholarly
presentation of this monumental 3D project to a wider audience.
Manuelian’s systematic approach and big picture vision have created
a powerful scientific manual that many across the world will
follow.

How did the amazing Digital Giza online resource come into being?
This book illustrates vividly how a virtual army of people, from
early excavators to programmers and volunteers, were involved in
exploring, recording, organizing, connecting, and showing a wealth
of information on the Giza necropolis. Manuelian, who is the
driving force in this project, gives ample credit to all those who
followed his vision.

Der Manuelian provides a well-written, profusely illustrated, and
thought-provoking case study of the digital Giza project that will
be of great interest to anyone involved in a digital archaeology
project.
*Choice*
I thoroughly enjoyed this book…It is clear that Manuelian has
‘lived and breathed’ Giza for many years and his deep insight comes
shining through in his account of the key figures that have
contributed to our understanding of the site…A very rewarding
and
thought-provoking work.
