Awesome work! I've been in there and one of the things missing is the change it humidity and temperature that hits you, maybe on the next revision ;)

Same! iPhone 12 on latest iOS.

Try tapping the “aA” on the URL bar and disable content blockers.

Doesn’t help.

Well made. Amazing to explore. Much appreciated.

Tested in my Firefox 106.0.1 on macOS Monterey 12.6, and it works great.

That sounds like an Apple problem. Works perfectly on Firefox on Android, not to mention Chromium on Linux.

Incredible! I was under the impression there were tons of passages and chambers that were intricate, thank you for teaching me otherwise!

It's nice. Maybe the best matterport's example I have seen so far... The 3D in the transitions [of two 360 photos] are really good and the pixel quality is great.

But still... The very limited part of Matterport is that it is "mostly" a series of 360 photos.

Now, because a pyramid is mainly a long corridor, you do not see too much those limitations.

So great.

Semi-related, the Great Pyramid was also scanned using muon radiography, by which a "big void" was discovered [0]. Muons can penetrate through a lot of material, so they can see through very large, thick things like the pyramids.

Muon tomography was also used to scan the Fukushima reactors [1] and see where the fuel ended up.
