Pyramids, A World Wonder Feb 07, 2009
Everybody knows what they are, The Three Pyramids at Gizeh,
The three pyramids are Visitable and the one thing (beside all the others) You must see if you ever visit Egypt. The Pyramids are, probably useless to tell huge, You can see them from far away rising in the desert. With makes the exitement ofcourse even more cool. To enter a Pyramid isn't as fun as I thought it would be. The pyramids are a very touristic spot. And you schouldn't be surprised if you can walk over the heads there. To enter the pyramid is very expensive. The Largest Pyramid is 150 Egyptian Dollars, That's luckily not very much if you change it into euro's or Dollars but for egyptian standards its very expensive. The most important things to know is that there is only one entrance that's official and leads to the catacombes. Don't join an Egyptian that claims he knows another route. Or he'll show you the pyramid. He will, He'll trap you into on of the other entances and will only lead you out if you give him all your money. Another thing not to do is sit on a Camel or Dromedary. If they stand up you can't get of them anymore and again you'l pay much to get on the ground again. The inside of the pyramids are very boring. It's a long way down one slippy stair, I'm not claustrofobic but I found it tight and scary, Please don't go in if you are claustrofobic. The walls are blank and wet from all the breathning of people climbing in the heat. The treasure room only contains one tumb. A big black stone tumb. You can't look into it and if you can by using a light, it's empty. On the wall stands with grafitty the name CALZONE, And the year in witch he discouvered the room. Also something you have to do if you're thre is visit the Sfinx, The huge lion with human head is at walking distance from the pyramids as it was a part of the complex surrounding them. The nose as known is missing. This has a reason, the egyptians believed that a sculture was alive, if you want to kill a sculpture you need to cut of the nose. The reason was simple the sculpture can't breathe without it. This revieuw might seem not positive, It is however. It's a livetime experience and I really recomand It. It's really strange to stand next to the picture you've seen so many times before. I hope this Revieuw was helpfull and you'll all enjoy this unbelievable attraction for yourself. A little note, at night there is a light show witch is projected on the pyramids, it isn't really historic, but it's fun. |
