Known as the “Gift Of The Nile”, Egypt (Arab Republic of Egypt), it has one of the long lasted histories of any country. Formed by the Sinai Peninsula, bordered by the large seas around seperates itself from Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Cairo is the capital and forms the largest city, important hub for industry and tourism.
We are traced back to the long history along the Nile Delta. Considered as a cradle of civilization, saw some of the worth developments ranging from writing, agriculture, long and rich cultural heritage. The civilization is differentiated into three ‘kingdom’ periods from 2686 BC-664 BCE.
The foundation focused mainly on sedentary agriculture and economy. Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River in large part because the river’s annual flooding enabled rich soil for growth of crops, harvest and inundation purposes. But, gradually the chance of food shortage increased without flooding of Nile and this marked the political struggles repeatedly over the issue of control of the country which ultimately a reason for the decline of such a civilisation.
After unification, the idea of divine kinship was introduced and constructed monumental architecture to demonstrate and maintain power. The use of HIEROGLYPHICS, form of writing system to keep written records on stone and clay, some on papyrus(paper-like product made from reed fiber) and also became an important tool for survey upon Egypt.
The land of fascinated history extant us with the iconic monuments like the The great Pyramid of Giza(oldest seven wonders), Pyramid of Khafre, Giza Necropolis and its Great Sphinx, the ruins of Memphis, Thebes, Karnak and the valley of the Kings, the Pharaohs. The ancient Egypt manuscripts reveals about the pharaoh(equal to a king’s position)and its rule over the land with the belief of a single god (monotheism).
The politics of Egypt are based on republicanism, with a semi-presidential system of government. The current political system was established following the Egyptian Revolution of 2011 and the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.
On 3 July 2013, Morsi was deposed by a coup d'état led by the minister of defence, General Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
Most famous last pharaoh of Egypt Tutankhamen’s mummy was restored by an English historian, renewed a public interest for its mask which was now a popular symbol at Great Museum at Cairo. Since the discovery of his tomb he was called a King Tut). Egyptians believed in life after death so their funery practice of mummification under those pyramids opened many doors of mysteries to the public now.
There are many fascinating mysteries about the place i.e the pyramids are said to have been constructed with over 23 lakh limestones bricks that weighed between 2.5 and 15 tons each were transported and lifted without technology and machinery. Due to orion belt the pyramids have a perfect alignment with the True North.
Sphinx(lion body and human head) is the one that protects the pyramids. The pyramids cut of masonary were actually flat but seems to be pointed. Egyptian can define the solar year, solistices and equinox by the help of pyramids. They also believed in the star shaft theory of the mummy so they created layers of chambers inside the pyramid. There has been researched that the temperature inside was very cold inspite of the out hot temperature. Nextly, the drawings indie the walls of the pyramids was very similar and relevant to the that of the alien times so, most of the researchers claimed that there might be some connection with the presence of aliens.
Dandera light complex, a mystery temple at Egypt was made for the Hathor god to worship. A fringe theory interpretation of the reliefs is that they depict some form of ancient Egyptian lighting technology. there had been many text and depictions inside the temple which includes directing the “lightbulb” upwards. A two-armed Djed pillar is also shown with the “bulb” and the hands are apparently connected to the snake/cord inside. A baboon is presented in front of the “lamp” while holding two knives in front of itself.
Mummy inside the pyramid at Egypt were put in the canopic jars while mummified one for the king and other for the queens with all the necessities needed for a person in a life. There are many shafts pointed towards upwards so that that the mummy can escape to their eternal life. On one discovery, though the great pyramids were still there at place but the coffins were empty of mummys and even there is no such alienic drawings on the pyramid walls. On another discovery recently, an official stated that there were 59 intact coffins with the mummified dead bodies wrapped with linen thread.
The gigantic pyramids were now conspicuous targets for tomb robbers, Despite efforts to hide the entrances, thieves managed to find the tombs, pillaging and emptying them of their treasures. One tomb was spared, however Tutankhamun's. Although his resting place was disturbed twice by robbers, the entrance was resealed and remained hidden for over 3,000 years. Tutankhamun's mummy remains in his tomb, the only pharaoh to be left in the Valley of the Kings.
Today, Egyptian archaeologists are still making important discoveries upon royal real mummies of the pharaohs. The ongoing deciphering of hieroglyphic writings and research are also answering many questions related to the evolution of Egyptian culture. The pharaonic religion gives the impression that the Egyptians were preoccupied with death however, there are ample indications that they were a happy lot who knew how to enjoy life.
There are the records that we get from the historians but actually there is no such mummies in recent days. There might be some of the ancestor’s ruins which has now been a site of tourism for the public. But though, some of the pyramids in Egypt are not allowed for the tourists visit.
The Egyptian government does not want to reveal all their glories and blessings in front of the whole world to get it deployed easily. Egypt is a place with a ton of blessings and mysterious so we should not disturb it and let it be a history to the whole outer world.
