Rute

1. One of history's most ancient and unsolved puzzles is the construction of the pyramids. Again and again, over the course of history, many scholars and scientists asked and wondered the same question of 'how the pyramids were built.' The Great Pyramids of Giza and the other pyramids, over 100 Egyptian pyramids, are considered the greatest pieces of human engineering and architecture. These monuments still strongly standing after over 4,500 years and are still a mystery unsolved to this day. Some scriptures found from Ancient Egyptians can help us to understand a bit better how the construction of such monuments has come about. These huge structures of limestone or mudbrick are the oldest known man-made structures on our planet

About Cairo

Kairo er Egyptens vidtstrakte hovedstad ved Nilen, hvor pyramiderne i Giza møder middelalderlige moskeer, travle basarer og faraoernes skatte.

I byens vestlige udkant rejser pyramiderne i Giza og Den Store Sfinks sig af ørkenplateauet, med trinpyramiden i Saqqara og ruinerne af Memphis længere mod syd. Kairos store museer, Det Egyptiske Museum ved Tahrir-pladsen og det enorme Grand Egyptian Museum ved siden af plateauet, rummer genstande fra tusinder af år.
