Egypt is full of mysteries. This country was home to one of the most ancient civilizations in the world. Today we associate this North African country with giant pyramids, temples and tombs of pharaohs. Historians discovered that the ancient nation living around the River Nile existed more than 5,000 years ago and lasted for over 2,000 years. This mighty civilization was known to have triumph and glory. The center of life was concentrated around the Nile. First of all, people used this river as the main transportation route. Secondly, its annual floods made it possible to grow crops. Ancient Egyptians were wise people. They learned how to communicate through inscriptions on walls. They used sophisticated hieroglyphs. They could also build gigantic stone structures, which modern people couldn’t replicate. Other than that, they used the papyrus to invent the first kind of paper. Ancient Egyptians had worshipped several gods and goddesses. They built huge temples for them and believed in their sanctity. The most important of all was the god of the sun – Amun Ra. He was depicted with two plumes on his head, the ankh symbol and the mighty scepter. One of the largest spiritual temples that ancient Egyptians built is situated in Karnak. It consists of more than 130 columns that are 25 meters high. Many tourists visit this place to admire its architecture. Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. That’s why they preserved their pharaohs in mummies. Afterwards these mummies were placed in tombs or graves together with their personal belongings. Many people wish to see three large pyramids of Giza. These constructions are among the oldest buildings in the world.
