As some of you may have heard, Egypt has been in the news for the last month. Hosni Mubarak’s regimen for the last 29 years had oppressed Egyptians. Since January25th, a revolution has been the reason why the eyes of the world are on Egypt. Hosni Mubarak’s regimen is over, and the country is struggling to recover and organize.
Egypt is recognized as being one of the first empires in the world and for its pyramids. Egypt was founded by the king Menes in 3150 BC. There are about 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008. They are considered one of the biggest monumental structures in the world and the question about how they were built is a mystery; most people make up stories and myths about it. The most recognized ones are the ones in Giza outside of Cairo, Egypt’s capital. The pyramid of Khufu is the largest Egyptian pyramid and it is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World still in existence. Cairo is the largest city in Africa and The Nile, the longest river in the world, goes by this city.
I have yet to make a trip to any part of Egypt. If you have been please share with us your experiences.
