The Giza Pyramids

The last of the ancient wonders, the Giza Pyramids have been fascinating us for nearly 4000 years with their shape, geometry and sheer scale. They ask the eternal questions: “How and why?” Centuries of research has given us some of the answers. Built as tombs for the pharaohs by tens of thousands of workers, they stand today as a monument to the power organisation and achievement of ancient Egypt and you can visit the Pyramids through our Egypt Pyramid Tour Packages 

Ongoing excavations on the Giza Plateau, including the discovery of a pyramid-builders settlement with large scale food production and medical facilities, show that these workers were not slaves as depicted in Hollywood films but an organised workforce of Egyptian farmers. During the flood season when the Nile inundated their fields they would have been redeployed by a highly structured bureaucracy to work on the pharaoh’s tomb. In a way the Pyramids were an ancient job creation scheme. The flood waters also facilitated the transportation of the building stones to the site if you would like to more about Egypt you can in your vacation and book this package Egypt Vacation Packages

Despite the evidence many still doubt the ancient Egyptians were capable of such things and you can make sure of this evidence by visiting Egypt Day Tours Pyramidologists point to the precision of the stone carving and placement and the numerological significance of the dimensions as evidence the Pyramids were built by angels or aliens. These ideas may seem far fetched but seeing the monuments up close especially from inside helps to explain why many believe such incredible structures must have been built by otherworldly beings and if you want to visit other places in Egypt you can try to book Trip through Egypt Travel Packages
