Pyramids of Giza and Obelisks in Egypt

Huge obelisks made of solid granite pose a mystery, as it would have been difficult to have worked with this stone thousands of years ago. The quarries at Aswan can be visited, and you can see the Unfinished Obelisk. Others reside at the Temple of Karnak. Located within 2000 square meters, these pyramids are one of the 7 wonders of the world. Visitors can go for camel rides around the pyramids. Saqqara is another stepped pyramid with subterranean tombs loaded with hieroglyphics.

The Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

Excursion from Alexandria January 14, 2011 - Suez Canal cruise with Brilliance of the Seas from Barcelona to Dubai. There are three pyramids at Giza, each of which once had an adjoining mortuary temple. The Great Pyramid of Giza (the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact. The pyramid was built as a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian over an approximately 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 meters (480.6 ft), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world. Originally, the Great Pyramid was covered by casing stones what is seen today is the underlying core structure. Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base. The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the world's largest and oldest statues.

Giza's Cave Underworld Rediscovered

Beneath the Pyramids of Giza lies a natural cave system lost for nearly 200 years. It was rediscovered on March 3rd, 2008, by a team headed by writer and explorer Andrew Collins, working with Egyptological researcher Nigel Skinner-Simpson and British engineer Rodney Hale. The cave system is natural and was last known to have been explored to any depth by British explorer and diplomat Henry Salt and Italian explorer Giovanni Caviglia in 1817. They never published any details of their discoveries. It is now believed that the caves might follow the course of local faulting, and head in the direction of the Second Pyramid, the site of the legendary Tomb of Hermes. For more information go to www.andrewcollins.com and read the full story in Andrew Collins's book BENEATH THE PYRAMIDS (4th Dimension Press, 2009).
