Egyptian Pyramids at Giza – Aren’t In The Middle Of Nowhere

anthony — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:04:54 +0000

You’d have to be living under a rock to not know that the Giza Pyramids are in Egypt. What I found most striking about Giza wasn’t the pyramids themselves, but just how much Cairo suburbia encroached onto the pharaoh’s place of permanent rest. Judging by the numerous clichéd photos of Giza showing three pointy edifices [...]

Egyptian Pyramids – What Do They Look Like Inside?

Egyptian Pyramids – one of the biggest travel cliches in the world. However, they are still impressive. Most people know about the Giza Pyramids, located on the outskirts of Cairo. While one has to pay to enter the pyramid of Cheops at Giza, his old man’s pyramid further down the road at Memphis is much [...]

Abu Simbel, Egypt – An Impressive Piece of Legoland

The Abu Simbel temples are located near the Egypt/Sudan border, only a few hours ride in a suicidal mini-bus taxi. They were ordered by the king of all pharoahs, Pharaoh Ramses II. He must have been an egotistical bugger, as the sole purpose of Abu Simbel was to demonstrate his power and his divine nature [...]

Taking photos of the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. It’s a nightmare at the best of times. Usually, the place is crawling with all sorts of tourists and wannabe tourist guides, offering all sorts of things such as a Camel Ride. It’s virtually impossible to take a photo of the Pyramids without people in the frame. [...]

Worst Drivers In The World

Worst Drivers In The World. I’ve travelled a lot around the world – my country counter is now over 30. One thing I’ve noticed throughout my travels is that the quality of driving around the world varies considerably. I’ve devised my own award for the Worst Drivers In The World – the Juan Manuel Fangio [...]

Unfinished Obelisk – D’oh, I stuffed it up!

anthony — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 14:05:05 +0000

The Unfinished Obelisk is a prime example of a Pharaoh-funded stuff up involving a 1,000 tonne rock carved into the ground. The Unfinished Obelisk was almost finished and had been painfully carved out of the quarry as another useless, heavy religious monument before a large crack appeared, causing these ancient civilisation chippies a lot of [...]
