Egypt has an ancient history that draws in tourists from around the world. It was once one of the greatest civilizations in the ancient world that has fascinated explorers and visitors for hundreds of years. The most popular period of Egypt’s history that we often learn about in school is the time of the Pharaohs and their mummified remains, the pyramids, the temples of Luxor and of course Queen Cleopatra and Egypt’s demise at the hands of Alexander the Great.

Egypt is best known for the Pyramids of Giza. The oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, they were built over 4,500 years ago in 2550 BC. They were created as tombs to Egypt’s Pharaohs, in Egyptian Mythology, Pharaohs would become gods in death, so they needed a huge tomb to house all the treasures they would need to rule in the afterlife.

From here you can catch a tour or travel independently to Giza. Here you will be able to marvel at the last resting place of many of Egypt’s Pharaoh kings and queens.

Peek into the tomb of Ramses IV and marvel at the mummy of the famous boy-king, Tutankhamun. Still an active archaeological site, new items are still being regularly discovered, meaning this place is a living, breathing monument to Ancient Egypt.

The soul and the other world

 The soul and the other world:

We knew many details of the other world thanks to the ancient Egyptian religious texts such as the texts of the pyramids, coffin texts and the Book of the Dead over 4,000 years! Here, the idea of ​​resurrection and eternity became based on spirit, reward and punishment as well. There are those whose heart will be devoured in the court of Osiris and there are those who will be saved for the purity of his heart. From all the texts, the idea of ​​the formation of the soul and the conditions for crossing the other world emerged. So the soul was made of ka, ba and akh and each of them had a job and characteristics! The importance of the name (Ren), the shadow (Shaw), the heart (Ip) and the body (GT) came to the deceased in the other world, so when someone wanted to take revenge on the deceased to erase his name, he destroyed his mummy or even messed with the view of the deceased on the walls of his grave for their belief in the magic of the word as I covered it in another article. The sanctity that Al-Masry gave to his religion and his other world was indicative of a sovereign state, power, sta

bility and a highly astounding policy.

pork is forbidden by the ancient Egyptians

 pork is forbidden by the ancient Egyptians

Pigs in ancient Egypt had two types (wild pigs / domesticated pigs) and were characterized in the ancient Egyptian language (Riri) and are known in Egypt since the Neolithic period

Archaeologist Mark Liner met many bones in the village of Amal, the builders of the pyramids in Giza

500 years before the birth of Christ, a famous Greek historian was on a visit to Egypt .. The historian is Herodotus, who they call the father of history .. Herodotus wrote a book on his visit to Egypt, in which he mentioned everything about the Egyptians in an interesting and attractive manner ..

When Herodotus spoke about the food of the Egyptians, he said that the Egyptians do not eat pork because it is an unclean animal that represents evil .. only the Egyptians raised him to make him a victim of the moon god .. and who were responsible for raising the pig are foreigners who work in Egypt and they were not loved by the Egyptian people and deprived From entering the sacred temples, they are also mixed with Egyptian blood, and what is permitted from the Egyptian race is it not permissible for those who likened them or for slaves.

As for the Egyptian, it was impossible to touch the pig, and if this happened to any circumstance, he would have to rush to the Nile to dive into it several times with his demolition to be cleansed of impurity.

The legend says that the god "sixt", the evil god of the ancient Egyptians, denies the image of a black pig and pours the eye of his nephew, the god "Horus".

A second legend tells that Nout, the goddess of heaven, took the form of a pig and devoured her children the stars, but they were born every night from this heavenly pig.
She and her children became a common mantra among the ancient Egyptians as a symbol of maternal fertility and a symbol of renewed life.
They also believed that the pig transmitted diseases
And because of this, the Egyptians forbade eating pork because it symbolizes evil

معبد اسنا

معبد"إسنا".. بني في 400 سنة ووزاره شامبليون وجنوده كتبوا أسماءهم عليه
معبد إسنا يعد من أهم معالم مدنية إسنا ويقع على عمق 9 أمتار تحت مستوى أرضية المدنية حاليا مما يجعل الزائر لا يشعر بوجود معبد فى المدنية إلا بعد أن يصل إليه لدرجة أن المشاهد يجد تيجان بهو الأعمدة تكاد تلامس أرضية الشوارع المحيطة ويهبط له بسلم حديث

المعبد زاره شامبليون سنة1828م وكذلك جنود الحملة الفرنسية حيث كتبوا أسمائهم على سطحه وتم تنظيفه واكتشافه فى أواخر عصر محمد على1843م والمعبد بنى على أساسات معبد من عصر الملك تحمتس الثالث والأسرة25 لكن الموجود منه يرجع للعصر البطلمى من عصر بطلميوس الخامس وزوجته كليوباترا الثانية.

لكنه دمر وفككت أحجاره واستخدمت فى مبان أخرى واختفى معظمه أسفل البيوت الحديثة ولم تبق غير واجهته ثم استكمل البناء فى عصر الرومان أثناء حكم تيبريوس وهاديارن وتراجان وإستمر بنائه 4 قرون"400 سنة"

Son of origins

After 66 years, we all discovered that His Majesty the Great King Farouk I, King of Egypt and Sudan, was right when he issued a royal decree that he should not enter colleges of medicine, law, police, and warfare, except for the children of the noble families. (Do not take care of your affairs, sons of the fools, and what is meant by healing here is not the poor but immoral). Ibn Khaldun said in his introduction, “Do not know the fools’ children from you, and if you teach them, do not give them the affairs of soldiers or the judiciary. ” "Strive to humiliate the honorable people. We also discovered that the members of the Revolutionary Command Council were misleading the people through the cinema that his majesty was corrupt. Although he is the only ruler in the world who was applying this hadith and of course we discovered that the masters involved in the sale of human organs are the children of the fools and the judge who seized to receive a bribe is also from the sons of the fools and the mentally ill psychiatrist who tortures prisoners and appropriately fabricates cases is Of the fools. There are many examples that the shrine cannot accommodate. May God have mercy on His Majesty King Farouk I and the inhabitants of the Supreme Paradise.
