them to life again. Thousands of years have passed since the
Pharaohs walked on this Earth, but with your imagination and our
show, we bring the history alive to you; every show provides

Egypt as of its
significant beginning, the pyramids.
The pyramids show
|
Have you ever wondered how life was thousands of years
ago? This question and others similar thoughts inspired
creators to accompany you for a short while to the past,
by introducing the sound and light show. It is a
magnificent show that brings creatively to life the rule
of ancient Egyptians. The artists skillfully created a
show to present images of all historical eras. For an
hour, you enjoy the sound and light show near the
pyramids and the Sphinx. The history is re-told by the
Sphinx, telling you the most ancient secrets of the
world. In the 21st century, you go back in time
thousands of years ago to see how they were built and
survived! The show manages to convey the great humane
spirit and creativity behind their creation.
There you will find the pyramid of Khufu, the Immortal
and Sky Grabber, close to its some alters, where the
wood-made boats of Khufu are placed, which KING Khufu
would use to sail on his journey to immortality. Also,
you will find the pyramid built by Khufu’s son Khafre,
who made his own smaller and shorter than his father's
pyramid; we can see Khafre's face, engraved on a sheet
of green diorite stone, so lively as if the artist just
finished it. Then, last but not least the pyramid of
Menkaure, who was like his father modest and decent
enough to make his pyramid smaller than the other two.
In one hour, the show would narrate the history of those
great kings, their secrets, legends and secrets of
ancient history. |

The Legend
Pyramids are not the source of attraction for modern tourists only
but they have been a source of attraction and a favorite subject to
visitors to
Egypt for thousands of years. The historian Herodotus
visited them, and Antonio, Cleopatra's lover climbed them. At the
birth of Christ, they have been 2500 years old. The French emperor
Napoleon did more than just a visit, as he actually slept inside
them. Since the ancient times, pyramids enchanted and charmed their
visitors.
Who are the men who have built these great monuments?! How did the
ancient build such perfect monuments?!. Scholars and archaeologists
in modern times has found it very difficult to agree on a number of
theories about the ancient world. No one can argue about their size
that make every human being feel small when standing at the foot of
the pyramids, which remained tallest buildings in the world until
modern times. About 4600 years ago, the pyramids were a state
project to build a burial for kings and then the first giant stone
was placed on Giza Plateau. The pyramid is the largest building in
all parts of
Egypt, and the only surviving of the ancient Seven
Wonders of the ancient world.
Khufu built the Great Pyramid, which was not only the first pyramid
in
Egypt, but it was the height of perfection in design and
construction. We do not know much about the reign of Khufu, and for
this reason, he may be judged primarily by the pyramid; whether he
was a decent ruler or a cruel tyrant! We may never know for sure
Monuments
Pyramid of Khufu, known as the great Pyramid, was built on flat land
of 230 square meters and 146.5 meters high when construction was
completed about 2000 years BC. The Pyramid is unusual when compared
with other pyramids and the other; the king's burial chamber is not
below the surface or at the surface of the earth. This pyramid is
composed of about 2.3 million block of stone with an average weight
of 2.5 tons each. The most widely accepted idea for the
establishment of that pyramids was it was built by teams of slaves
over 30 years and under the gaze of the Pharaohs vigilance.
The Great Pyramid is also an example of the changes in the design of
burial chambers to include other facilities. The pyramid and other
structures together form the pyramid complex; all of the three
pyramids on the Giza hill adopt the same design. On the eastern face
of the pyramid, the temple was built as the center location foe the
king's funeral team. This temple was linked via a paved road from
the Nile valley, a temple, which has served as an input to a large
pyramid complex as a whole, and near the southern face of the
pyramid, there is a small Satellite pyramid to the Dynasty of the
king and queens. And near the southern side there is a dismantled
boat, built of cedar wood and a length of about 44 meters and King,
who served transitions to other life after death.In one hour, the
show would narrate the history of those great kings, their secrets,
legends and secrets of ancient history.
There are about 70 other small pyramids, deployed in all parts of
Egypt, but the Great Pyramid at Giza is the most famous. About
100000 of the slaves devoted their lives and blood in moving and
placing of the giant stones, weighing 3 tons each.
Khafre, Son of Khufu, built his pyramid at Giza, next to the pyramid
of Khufu, but at a higher level, giving a false impression that both
the Pyramids of Khufu and Khafre have the same height. In fact, the
pyramid of Khafre is shorter by about three meters. Design,
measurements and building materials are different from those used in
the pyramid of Cheops, which shows more progress in building
techniques. There is a clear difference between the Khafre pyramid
complex and the others, which is the presence of a large statue of a
guard to the north of the valley temple. The statue of the lion and
the body of the human head is popularly known as giant Sphinx. The
name of the Sphinx is a term Latino (Grecian) means the picture of
life in the ancient world. Khafre's son built the last pyramid on
the hill of Giza, smallest as it was, it has been built of granite;
more expensive and elegant than limestone is.
