The Egyptian Pyramids are probably the most famous landmarks of Ancient Egypt. The egyptian pyramids were built by the egyptians thousands of years ago and many of the Egyptian Pyramids remain in good conditions. The egyptian pyramids are the source of much wonder and even conspiracy theories. Some believe that it was not the egyptians that built the Egyptian Pyramids of ancient egypt, but rather supernatural or other worldly forces. These theories about the egyptian pyramids of Ancient Egypt have arisen for many reasons. The Egyptian pyramids are said to hold special powers and even curses. In ancient egypt, egyptians buried their pharaohs and royal families in the egyptian pyramids and when you visit the Egyptian Pyramids, you are visiting the egyptians graves.
 
The egyptian pyramids are a wonderful sight to behold and a trip to the Egyptian Pyramids is something you will never forget. If you want to visit the egyptian pyramids, you should go with a tour group because a guide can give you a lot of information about Ancient Egypt and the egyptians. If you are traveling to egypt you will want to get a map of egypt before you go.

Ancient Egypt was not only famous for the egyptian pyramids but also for egyptian art. If you wish to see egyptian art from the time of ancient egypt, you should have no problem finding an egyptian art gallery or museum in Egypt. You can also see egyptian art closer to home, as egyptian art is featured prominently in museums worldwide. Most of the priceless egyptian art is in fact not even housed in Egypt but rather in British and other European museums. The Egyptian Pyramids were filled with egyptian art and European explorers who hoped to unravel the mysteries of Ancient Egypt took a lot of this egyptian art back home. Still, there is much egyptian art to be seen on your vacation to Egypt. If you are looking for local egyptian art or crafts, you can find egyptian art sold by local egyptians in the Egyptian markets. Be careful when buying this egyptian art, however, as the prices are hiked up for Western travelers. One of the most fascinating aspects of egyptian art from Ancient Egypt is the egyptian symbols.
 
The egyptian symbols are known as hieroglyphics. The egyptians of ancient egypt used these egyptian symbols as a written form of communication. The inside walls of the Egyptian pyramids are covered in these egyptian symbols, as the egyptian symbols were used to tell a story or to write out a prayer. The egyptian symbols fascinated European explorers of Egypt. The code of the egyptian symbols was finally understood with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone. Even today, scholars of Ancient Egypt study the egyptian symbols in order to better understand the mysteries the egyptians left behind. The egyptian music of today is a mix of traditional egyptian music that harkens back to the times of ancient egypt, as well as of pop music and Arabic music. The egyptians of Ancient Egypt believed a god named Thoth invented egyptian music. The egyptian music of ancient egypt is thought to be dominated by flutes, clarinets, harps, lutes, and lyres. We know all this about egyptian music because of the ancient egyptian art. The egyptian art depicted players of egyptian music performing for pharaohs and in festivals.
 
Today egyptian music is still very popular in Egypt but is far more influenced by pop music. Every once in a while some egyptian music will be heard in the Western music scene but egyptian music is still a very local taste. The mysteries of ancient egypt have attracted visitors to Egypt for hundreds of years. Today, travelers still flock to egypt to see the amazing monuments like the Egyptian Pyramids and to transport themselves back to the days of Ancient Egypt. If you are interested in ancient egyptian history and egyptian art, then a visit to Egypt will probably be perfect for you, as you will experience the beauty of egypt and immerse yourself in the culture of the egyptians.
