Egypt : Land Before TimeWritten by Steven N. Ng
In recent years, number of people touring Egypt has slowly dwindled. This is most likely due to violence in Middle Eastern region and few bombings and kidnappings that have occured in recent years. However, these cases are pretty much isolated, and thousands of people who visit Egypt every year thoroughly enjoy their experience there.Egypt is famous for a lot of things, from their exotic perfumes, fine cotton, and mysteries of mummification and their ancient religion. However, I would like to focus on architectural and engineering wonders of Egyptian civilization. When tribes in Europe and Africa were still building huts and shelters, Egyptians have already constructed monstrous monuments hundreds of feet in height and width. It is this superiority that has elevated ancient Egyptian civilization as one of greatest civilizations in world. The Great Pyramids of Giza By far most famous of Egypt's architectural wonders are 3 Great Pyramids located at Giza, near Cairo. These monuments are hundreds of feet in height, and have survived test of time for last 4500 years. There are over a hundred pyramids of various sizes in Egypt, and more in neighboring Sudan. These monuments serve as tombs for great pharaohs of ancient Egypt, and stand as testimony to power and influence of these pharaohs. When you stand at bottom of Great Pyramids, looking up at their magnificence, feeling is indescribable. You begin to wonder just how ancient people managed to construct this huge structure with only help of simple tools available at that time. And this feeling of awe intensifies when you take opportunity to descend into pyramids via original entrances that were used thousands of years ago. When you touch walls of now-empty tombs beneath pyramids, you will feel as if you were there thousands of years ago when tombs were freshly carved. (One warning: You might not want to enter pyramids if you are claustrophobic!) The Sphinx Next to Great Pyramids at Giza is enigmatic Sphinx. A gigantic statue with head of a man and body of a lion, great Sphinx stares silently at east, perhaps watching sunrise, or perhaps protecting great pyramids from whatever evils that may threaten to destroy them. The Sphinx is just as old as pyramids, aging over 4500 years (or more, depending on which group of archaeologists you believe).
