EGYPT
Imagine the wisdom and skill of the Egyptians of ten thousand
years ago and more. Hieroglyphics send us a 5,000-year-old
postcard. The pyramids and the Great Sphinx, a wealth of
statues, sculptures and murals are there still, mystifying
modern-day earthlings with their unique magnificence.
For the past century or so, archeological interest in ancient
Egypt has run high, especially following the 1922 discovery of
the tomb of King Tutankhamun in Luxor's Valley of the Kings.
A cruise along the life-giving Nile River is like time travel.
Welcome aboard.
