The ancient Egyptian history was divided into 3 kingdoms:

The Old Kingdom (2700 – 2200 BC): During this period the ancient pharaohs started building the pyramids. They started with Djoser step pyramid then they built the Great Pyramids of Giza, the pyramids of Khufu, Menkaura, and Khaefra. Amongst all the pyramids, the 481 feet pyramid of Khufu is the biggest.

The ancient Egyptians used more than two millions of stone blocks, each weighting about two and half tons were used to build each of these Great Pyramids.

The Middle Kingdom (2100 B.C. – 1800 B.C.): During this period, the ancient Egyptians were buried inside the hidden tombs instead of the pyramids to keep their bodies and their treasures away from the eyes of the tombs robbers.

The New Kingdom (1500 B.C. – 337 B.C.): At the beginning of this period, the ancient Egyptians suffered from some invaders called the Hyksos but the Egyptian were able to win and kick them out of Egypt by the famous leader Ahmose.

The New Kingdom is considered to be the Golden Era of the ancient Egyptian civilization. During the New Kingdom time, some of the great kings and queens ruled Egypt and created the history of the cradle of civilization lands such as Queen Hatshepsut, King Ramses II, King Tut, King Seti I and more.

If you weren’t in Tahrir Square, you’d never know anything was happening. And I even   to Tahrir Square on a Friday (which is the big protest day) and never felt unsafe. Overwhelmingly, the message from Egyptians everywhere was “Tell the world that Egypt is safe!” 

Thanks for the mention!

It would take more than a little revolution to seriously disrupt what is a way of life!
