Ancient Egyptian History and
Egyptian Landmarks Explained

Egypt is an awesome country shrouded in myth and legend. The Egyptian Landmarks are some of the most famous on the planet including the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, along with the Rosetta Stone and Abu Simbel.

Prior to my recent backpacking trip round Egypt I was looking for information for some of the Ancient Egyptian Landmarks and points and places of interest. As with the majority of travellers I wanted a basic knowledge of Ancient Egyptian History and facts of Egypt prior to my arrival in order that I at least had a vague understanding of the Egyptian Landmarks I was to visit. Having looked through a number of Egyptian sources I couldn't find a book or website that had concise information covering all the Egyptian Landmarks I was heading to so this page is designed to provide easy to understand facts surrounding major points of history of Ancient Egypt and of the places of interest without getting enveloped in finer lengthy details. I have started off with a few of the larger Egyptian Landmarks and will add to them in due course.
