Memphis Necropolis, Egypt

Tourists in Egypt, who want to see more than Thebes Necropolis, can visit the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis and get to know its unique sights. This once mighty city existed for more than 3000 years. Its history ended in the fifth century of our chronology. Today Memphis is a unique open-air museum. On the territory of the old town no building has been preserved, for several years the whole territory has been constantly explored by archaeologists.

One of the most important events in the district's research happened in April 2015, when researchers discovered the legendary 'White Walls'. Thus was the name of the ancient city in the first early days of its existence. The name was connected with the unique architecture, the search for real elements of which lasted many years. One of the most interesting and famous districts of the old Memphis is Giza - the location of the great pyramids. The Great Sphinx, the pyramids of Cheops and Khafre - these unique antique sights are among the most famous in the world.

In Giza, there are a few incredibly interesting museums, where you can visit the collections of archaeological artefacts found in this area. It is also necessary to mention the district of Dahshur, which is a rocky plateau with a lot of pyramids. It is here that the famous Pink Pyramid is located, as well as the Pyramid, which is one of the best preserved. It is true that the ancient Egyptians learned to build pyramids of the regular form during the construction of these pyramids. The unusual forms of the buildings can however have a completely different explanation. Next - Saint Catherine Monastery
