0511 Giza Plateau Egypt

<a href= http bighugelabs com flickr onblack php id=2409729127 amp size=large >View On Black< a> The Giza Necropolis stands on the Giza Plateau on the outskirts of Cairo Egypt This complex of ancient monuments is located some eight kilometres 5 mi inland into the desert from the old town of Giza on the Nile some 25 kilometres 12 5 mi southwest of Cairo city centre The pyramids are the only remaining monuments of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World This Ancient Egyptian necropolis consists of the Pyramid of Khufu known as the Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Cheops the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre or Chephren a few hundred metres to the south west and the relatively modest size Pyramid of Menkaure or Mykerinus a few hundred metres further south west along with a number of smaller satellite edifices known as quot queens quot pyramids causeways and valley pyramids The Great Sphinx lies on the east side of the complex facing east Current consensus among Egyptologists is that the head of the Great Sphinx is that of Khafre Associated with these royal monuments are the tombs of high officials and much later burials and monuments from the New Kingdom onwards signifying the reverence to those buried in the necropolis Of the three only Menkaure s Pyramid is seen today without any of its original polished limestone casing with Khafre s Pyramid retaining a prominent display of casing stones at its apex while Khufu s Pyramid maintains a more limited collection at its base It is interesting to note that Khafre s Pyramid appears larger than the adjacent Khufu Pyramid by virtue of its more elevated location and the steeper angle of inclination of its construction it is in fact smaller in both height and volume The most active phase of construction here was in the 25th century BC The ancient remains of the Giza necropolis have attracted visitors and tourists since classical antiquity when these Old Kingdom monuments were already over 2 000 years old It was popular

Egypt 2008 1 Temple of Ramesses II Abu Simbel

Ramesses II usually called quot The Great quot was a 19th Dynasty pharaoh with an ego just about as large as Egypt herself Our guides Khaled referred to him as quot The Coca Cola Pharaoh quot since he seemed intent on ensuring that he was remembered by creating more statues and more inscriptions than any other pharaoh His name is literally everywhere often carved in over the top of other pharaoh s names deeper and larger as if to cement his position in history One almost thinks that quot he doth protest too much quot and all this monumental building was to make up for a lack of actual accomplishment The temple was moved by UNESCO in the late 1960s to avoid being flooded by Lake Nasser although if you didn t know that it had been cut into 1060 blocks and moved to this false mountain you never would guess Info from phouka com
