What are the places of interest in Egypt?
The places of interest in Egypt are:
First of all, the sphinx
The ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Reggie built a monument to the Sphinx based on the portrait of his father Khufu. Treating his father as the sun god is also one of the propaganda means for Reggie to restore people's awe of the dynasty. The statue is 20 meters high and 57 meters long, with a total length of 72 meters including two front paws. The face is about five meters long and 4.7 meters wide, the nose is 1.71 meters long, and the mouth is 2.3 meters long and 1.93 meters long.
It wears a crown of "Nemes", a fan-shaped scarf of "Nemes" hanging from its ears, a cobra snake relief engraved on its forehead, a drooping beard under its chin as a symbol of the emperor, a collar around its neck, and a lion decorated with eagle feathers.
Second, pyramid of khufu.
There is a world-famous pyramid of khufu in Giza, a suburb of Cairo, the Egyptian capital. As a world miracle of man-made architecture, pyramid of khufu was originally the largest pyramid in the world, and the tomb of Khufu, the second king of the Fourth Dynasty, was built around 2690 BC. 1888 Before the Eiffel Tower was built in Paris, it was the tallest building in the world.
The original height is146.5m, and the top is peeled off due to years of weathering10m, but the current height is136.5m; Each side of the pedestal is more than 230 meters long, and now it is 220 meters long, with a triangular slope of 52 degrees and a tower bottom area of 52,900 square meters. This tower consists of 2.3 million stones, each weighing 2.5 tons on average, and the largest stone weighs 160 tons.
Third, the ladder pyramid.
Before the third dynasty in ancient Egypt, tombs were generally huge rectangular tombs made of mud bricks. In the third dynasty, a doctor named Imhotep wanted to build a tomb for the left king in a special way. So, for the first time in human history, he built a huge tomb with stones. He first built a tomb about 8 meters high and 63 meters long with stones.
Later, he constantly changed the plan and designed the mound to overlap, that is, building one layer at a time, shrinking one layer at a time and adding it to the sixth floor. After that, he wrapped the monster in delicate white lime. After completion, the mound is 62 meters high, with the bottom length from east to west 12 1 meter and the north-south length 109 meter. It is the earliest six-story trapezoidal pyramid in Egypt. Zuo Sai was buried under this pyramid after his death.
Fourth, bend the pyramid.
It was built around 2600 BC in Sakala, 27 kilometers southwest of Cairo. It was built during the reign of Safro, the first Pharaoh of the fourth Egyptian dynasty.
The bottom is square with a side length of about 189 m and a height of about 105 m. Its special feature is that when the tower is over half height, the angle changes. Because the lower half is 52 degrees, the inclination angle bends inward to 43.5 degrees, making the four sides of the pyramid look arc-shaped.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) Montassar Palace
Montaza Garden, also known as "Egyptian Summer Palace", "Montaza Palace Garden", "Montaza Garden" and "Farouk Summer Palace", is the palace of the last king of Egypt.
