● The Egyptian Museum
A visit to the Egyptian Museum is a must when in Cairo. There are around 150,000 exhibits in the museum. Including the death mask and grave goods of the pharaoh Tutankhamun. This pharaoh is so famous because his tomb was not discovered until 1922 and was not looted by any grave robbers. The Egyptian Museum Cairo has one of the most impressive and valuable testimonies of ancient Egyptian culture. With the main facade of 899 meters and larger exhibition space than the Louvre in Paris, the palace of the Pharaohs is known as the world's largest archaeological museum. The epochs shown range from early history and the Thinite period through the Old Kingdom and the New Kingdom to the Greco-Roman period.

● The Giza pyramids
The only wonders of the world that have survived to this day are the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Over the centuries 80 royal pyramids have been built, each more magnificent than the other. The famous pyramids were built in the 4th Dynasty between 2620 and 2500 BC. I.e. they are around 4,500 years old today. They were built on a 1000 x 2000 meter limestone plateau. The best known is the Cheops pyramid.

The Great Pyramid of Cheops is considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, which was originally 147 m high, it is the largest pyramid on the site, followed by the Khafre and Mykerinos pyramids, which are respectively 136 m and 61 m high. Pyramids were built in ancient Egypt as tombs for pharaohs, so they all have a burial chamber, the Great Pyramid even has several. In front of the pyramids is the Sphinx, which impresses with its silence and calm.

Due to their outstanding importance, various theories are entwined around the pyramids, which contradict the usual views of Egyptologists and see behind the pyramids a lost high-tech civilization or even the direct or indirect work of extraterrestrials. It is not uncommon for supporters of such theories to sense a conspiracy of silence among Egyptologists.
