History

Egypt
is known as one of the greatest civilizations of
the past. For ancient Greeks it was a source of
all wisdom. Roman emperors marvelled at such monuments
as the pyramids, and in fact Egyptian statues and
obelisks were sent to Rome. The worship of Egyptian
gods and goddesses like Isis and Osiris spread as
far as Britain. Fascination with Egypt began in
the late 18th century and a vast number of ancient
towns, temples and tombs have since been excavated.
No country in the world can boast of many impressive
ancient remains as Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians
have indeed left a wonderful legacy of art, architecture
and literature.
