Egypt - Giza

It’s one of the best scenery in the world knowing this was built 3200 B.C! If you wonder what B.C. means, Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to label or number years in the Gregorian calendars. 3200 B.C means 2000 + 3200 = 5200 years ago.  How can you imagine this gigantic monuments were being built 5000 years ago with no advance technology! Back then it is a complete flat surface and the calculation and dimension of the pyramid was so accurate. 

The age of the first ancient wonders of the world began with the pyramids of Sneferu, he built three pyramids and may have had a hand in others. His pyramid at Medum began as a step pyramid and was then modified to form the first true pyramid. He built two pyramids at Dahshur one called the Bent Pyramid because its upper part has a shallower angle of inclination than the lower part. The shape of Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The shape of a pyramid is thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly reflective white limestone, in order to give them a brilliant appearance when viewed from a distance.

It’s amazing how the ancient Egyptian build this mega pyramid with no forklifts and cranes. Sometimes I wonder whether it is being built by “something” else like aliens or transformer :-)

Famous camel ride at the Giza. Well you have to pay either you ride on the camel or just snap some pictures :-) Cheese!

The protector of the pyramid, Sphinx. The Great Sphinx is one of the world's largest and oldest statues, but basic facts about it, such as who was the model for the face, when it was built, and by whom, are still debated.
