Ancient Egypt, before its ultimate collapse some 1,700 years ago, was the Land of the Pharaohs, and the Valley of the Kings stands as a commemoration to all of the great ones who died before the most well known and well preserved mummy king that the world has ever known, a 19 year old King Tut. Egypt is a land of vast discovery and ancient secrets, preserved in the awe striking details of the Great Pyramids and ancient cities carved into desert limestone walls.

There are more than 80 pyramids in Egypt which were built mostly between 2600 BC and 1500 BC and all are situated close to the Nile river. After the ruler died (or other prominent royal figures like queens), their bodies were wrapped and preserved as a mummy, and placed in the Pyramid. The most popular pyramids are the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx: An estimated 20,000 to 30,000 workers built the Pyramids at Giza over 80 years. Giza also has the largest pyramid also known as "Great Pyramid" which rises an amazing 481 feet.
