The ancient Greeks, particularly the Romans, regarded Egyptian culture with ancestral reverence. Their fascination with pyramids and mummies mirrored our own. Egypt’s first real ‘tourist’, Herodotus, visited and wrote about Egypt around 460 BC. His accounts were followed by countless others over the millennia, establishing Egypt as a premier bucket-list destination.
The incredible age and audacious size of Egypt’s archaeological sites continue to astonish us today, just as they did for those living in Classical Antiquity. Some of the highlights include:
- The Great Pyramids of Giza: These seemingly impossible structures remain one of the most iconic symbols of Egypt’s architectural prowess.
- The Temple Complex at Karnak: This breath-taking site underscores the prosperity and vitality of Egyptian culture over an enormous period.
Perhaps more than anything, it is the longevity of Egyptian history that strains belief. From the time of the pharaohs to the present day, Egypt’s historical timeline is a testament to human ingenuity and resilience.
