Egypt: the eternity of the pharaohs
Egypt's heritage reaches well past Giza. At Saqqara, Djoser's Step Pyramid is the world's first monumental stone building, the work of Imhotep around 2700 BC. In Luxor, ancient Thebes, the Karnak complex piles forty centuries of temples and the Valley of the Kings hides royal tombs in painted rock. Far south near the Sudanese border, Ramesses II's colossi at Abu Simbel were cut apart and lifted to escape Lake Nasser. Together they trace three millennia of pharaonic ambition.
