Go See The Pyramids Of Egypt Tour

By Danielle Galloway


The Pyramids of Egypt tour have been there since the early years, roughly 2000 years before the common era started. It has been a great mystery on how these amazing structures were built. Seeing how complex and exact they are, it seems that the kind of technology utilized for such structures was far beyond advance during the time they were built.

The most popular pyramid would be the structures in Giza, near the outskirts in Cairo. There, the pyramid is near perfection, and is thought to be one of the biggest structures ever built in ancient history. It is a wonder to many, even scientists and archaeologists, how these wonders were built. Though they were mainly used as the Pharaoh's tomb, a lot of other worldly possessions of the pharaoh are stored in these buildings as well.

The Egyptians attribute the whole notion of the pyramid to the great Imhotep who conceptualized the structure of these monuments. Imhotep was trying to come up with a monument that could go as high as the skies so they could communicate with their gods. He thought that a structure with a really wide base progressing upwards getting smaller in each level would be sturdy enough to stand on its own, even with its height.

The building of the pyramid during the very early years were only possible because of centralized government. All the people followed one leader, and one leader alone. All the land's resources were utilized mainly for the projects and buildings of this current leader. More often than not, these pharaohs destroy the monuments of the pharaohs before them so the people may forget about these old leaders.

It was thought then that the main function of these structures were mainly burial sites. Only later on with much studying and comparison of these structures did scientists realize that the ancient Egyptians utilized the building as some kind of resurrecting machine for the pharaohs to rise up to the heavens, towards the night sky.

The Sphinx is another marvel that scientists have been speculating about. It is a wonderful mythical animal that is symbolized with a lion's strong body, and a beautiful woman's head. It has great wings tucked to its side as well. The sphinx is known to give out riddles to men, but when they are unable to answer them, the devours these men as punishment.

The sphinx was built to house the tomb of Pharaoh Khafra's wife. It was known that she is one of the very few queens to have been worshipped as well. A lot of theories have risen as to why these two monuments were built so close to each other, if there was a science behind it, or some logic that ancient Egyptians knew of.

These Pyramids of Egypt tour are but one of the ancient wonders this world has. Everyone should be able to see this marvel and appreciate how much capability the human race has. It is an amazing sight to see, and you will truly wonder how this all was built in the ancient period.
