World History Classes, but what we may have forgotten
is that this temple was transplanted from the submerged island of Philae.
Before I forget I also wanted to mention I did get into King Tut’s Tomb and
saw his remains.The cave like tomb is about a 3ft by 5ft. x 6 ft. high and he was unwrapped. Also in Cairo was a famous museum with artifacts of King Tut. Once in Aswan, we boarded a plane for a short
flight to Abu Simbel to view the Nubian Monuments which consisted of
twin temples carved into the mountainside. We took a felucca ride back to the riverboat for dinner.

In Cairo we had a guided excursion to the famous sites in Egypt including the place where Joseph and Mary brought baby Jesus, when Herod was killing all babies in Bethlehem. The Great Pyramids of Giza, which stood for 46
centuries are considered one of the Wonders of the World. Also looking close up at the Sphinz, a feline character with the body of a lion and face of Khufu, Cheops in Greek, carvedfrom one stone and lies before the Pyramids made this trip perfect. To conclude this exciting trip was the Camel ride on the other side of the Pyramids which was so much fun. I forgot to put this one on my facebook.
