Pharaohs Civilization
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
5,000 years ago, the pharaonic nation was founded in Egypt, and they
were a sophisticated and civilized society. This nation left a very
large amount of monuments and temples. Most of the reminders of this
well known nation is preserved in Egypt. These monuments draw many
tourists, who like to watch and appreciate these reminders, to Egypt.
Some of the well-known artefacts of ancient pharaonic civilization are: Pyramids: Perhaps the most known pyramids are the three pyramids of Giza, but there are more than 70 pyramids along the Nile. Beside the giant three pyramids is Sphinx, a lion-bodied guard of the pyramids. The pyramids were built more than 4,000 years ago in the eras of Kings Cheops, Kefren and Mykerinos.
These three kings' bodies are buried in these enormous pyramids. The
biggest pyramid, Cheops', is known as the Great Pyramid because it
measues 145 meters tall. Touristic places beside the pyramids are The
Solar Barque Museum, The Sphinx Complex and The Sphinx Sound and Light
Show.
Saqqara Complex: The vast necropolis of Saqqara including Memphis is located 24 kilometers south of central Cairo. Memphis was founded in about 3000 BC by Menes,
along with 11 other pyramids. Memphis was the administrative capital of
ancient Egypt. You will find Zoser's funerary complex, Mereruka's
tomb, and Serapeum. Serapeum is a large limestone structure and an
amazing collection of mummified Apis bulls in gargantuan granite coffins
of various kings such as King Teti
Valley of the Kings in Thebes:
The Valley of the Kings covers its secrets well. The grand pyramids of
the earlier pharaohs were too tempting to attract stealers, so from the
eighteenth to twentieth Dynasties, about 26 pharaohs built their tombs
in the valley. Carving them into the eterning mountains, far from any
messing hand. Famous tombs there belong to Tutankhamun, Ramses the Great and Tuthmosis III. This valley is located in Luxor.
There are other interesting tombs to see in the Valley of the Queens and nobles
