EGYPT unwrapped
Article Abstract:
The pyramids in Egypt present an opportunity for the traveller to learn about the history of the nation. Ancient Egyptians were quite interested in death and it's relation to life. Cairo's Museum of Antiquities and Luxor's Museum of Mummification display many mummies to the delight of visitors and to the chagrin of fundamentalist Muslims. There are many tombs and other resources to explore.
