modern settlements in an ancient world |
|
| Land of the Pharaohs | |
 |
Amongst the landmarks that can be seen from space, lies some of the most ancient buildings in the world, the Great Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. Egypt was made famous by the ancient pharaohs who sought eternal life. The world will forever know of these pharaohs for what they have constructed. |
| Home style Baking | |
 |
Nothing better then a homemade loaf of bread. It is true even in Egypt. These ladies are baking pita (pocket) bread, a staple food item in Egypt. Crack open the bread and fill it with fresh vegetables, meats, and sauces, and you got yourself a handy sandwich for lunch. Add a cup of orange juice for your guest and all is well. |
| Egyptian History | |
 |
History is only told in scripts of writing, and for Egypt that was paintings on the walls and hieroglyphs on papyrus. This particular wall etching tells of the ordination the pharaoh received from the gods. To this day all of modern science and technology has yet to figure out how the ancient Egyptians made the paint that has lasted for years. |
| Sunrise, Sunset | |
 |
You might be inclined to think that this is a sunset on the Nile river, but actually it is a sunrise on the Red Sea. It never rains in Egypt and rarely will you ever see a cloud pass over the sky. Because of these weather patterns, all the vegetation rests along the banks of the Nile. |
