The use of the metaverse in education has increased the demand for the virtual experience of history and cultures, but the development of virtual spaces linked to local history education is insufficient. In this study a 2.5D metaverse map for the Jikjisimche, which is printed with movable metal type, was developed. The developed metaverse map covers the period from the time of excavation to the Heungdeoksa Temple in the Koryeo Dynasty and is decorated by photos of excavated artifacts. In the Heungdeoksa Temple map, the photo data were published step by step according to the stages of metal type production. Learning activities were conducted through interactions with historical information provided by nonplayer characters. A space was also developed for presentation and games allowing interactions between students during the teacher's class. The three historical thinking competencies of students who experienced the augmented virtual history class metaverse significantly increased.
