EGYPT, the finale.
October 26, 2008
So, my trip to Egypt eventually came to a very unwanted end. I had seen so many astonishing monuments, temples and structures and had met so many amazing people from around the world in only a week’s time that it was overwhelming just thinking about all that I had seen and done. I must say, however, that I would not have changed my experience for anything in the world, and if ever the opportunity to relive my experiences came about I would drop everything to do it all over, again.
I must tell my audience about one of the most fascinating blogs I came across while researching blogs about Egypt. It was Dr. Zahi Hawass’ (a famous Egyptian archaeologist ) blog about his research, findings, and experiences in Egypt.
Dr. Zahi Hawass
Most of you have probably seen him on the Discovery channel, the History Channel or the Travel channel digging up ancient tombs, mummies, and structures all over Egypt. He’s done a lot of great things for archaeology.
What interested me so much about his blog were his experiences in the Valley of the Kings. He says of the valley, “Of all the sites in Egypt, this one is the most magical”.
The Valley of the Kings
He writes of his experiences as a young archaeologist, and how much the magnitude of the Valley of the Kings impacted him. Most of his site is dedicated to Egyptian history and may be a bit hard to follow for those of you not particularly interested in traveling to Egypt, but for those of you who are, this blog is a must.
Again, here is a link to his blog:
