Egypt

Egyptian civilization is one of the sources of modern culture. It attracted and influenced other peoples of the ancient world, particularly the Greeks and Romans. The enormous quantity of Egyptian monuments is itself proof of the richness of the ancient civilization. A visit to one of the many temples scattered all over Egypt is sufficient to convince one of this cultural wealth. Each temple is extravagantly decorated with reliefs and inscriptions and adorned with various types of columns and statues. The tombs of kings and nobles are covered with beautiful paintings, relief and inscriptions. This quantitative richness reflects the fondness of the ancient Egyptian for the multitudinous in all aspects of life, from deities in their temples to the seemingly endless number of hieroglyphic signs, and from the variety of forms and poses in which Gods and people are represented to the precise depiction of objects making up the environment of this world and the next. This ancient land holds a lot for us to see, explore and enjoy.
