history
Much of Egypt's ancient history was a mystery until the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics were deciphered with the discovery and help of the Rosetta Stone.
conflict Poverty Hepatitis In Arab nations in 2013, the promise of
greater freedoms and political reforms has been reversed, most violently in some instances, by taking a few countries down the path of anarchy and complete chaos
Egypt was one of them Now trying to heal from the damage done
Interesting facts
From a place where great pharaohs ruled, now in a pit of chaos in the wanting of greater freedom.
In this chaos, the Egyptian people are no longer the passive people. They will stand up and fight for their rights.
Would I visit and or live there?? I would love to visit the ancient tombs of
the pharaohs, and learn about the supposed curses that lie in the tombs.
I’ve always been interested in mummies and Egyptian gods and how the gods came to be.
I would not live there because I prefer the air conditioning than the blazing sun.
Prefer which country??? I prefer the U.S. because I love our air
conditioning. They are going through a rough patch in their
history and I don’t want to get in their history books.
