Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world s most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt has always been widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.

Although no one knows for sure where the ancient Egyptians came from, the land has been important since the beginning of recorded history.

Visiting the country, one gets a feeling that Egypt has existed far longer than the four thousand years the experts claim! The civilization was far more advanced in it s earliest existence than it is today. The skill and know how that was required to build all the antiquities is still unknown at this point in time.

When visiting Egypt, a trip to the Cairo Museum must be included! Days could be spent touring the facility and all the priceless artifacts from the past, everything from the 5th dynasty thru the modern era are on display, including a floor dedicated to King Tut. Ramses 2, the Pharaoh believed to be in power during the exodus, along with his Queen, is well represented also, not only in the Cairo Museum, but at Memphis as well. Ramses 2, if alive today, would be known as a land developer, many of Egypt s finest temples and buildings were erected during his reign.

Many items are still in storage as there isn t time or room to categorize all of them. Taking that into account and realizing that many, many of the artifacts have been taken out of the country makes one realize how massive and wealthy this empire was in it s prime.
