Allow me to tell you the stories of my ancestors and to share my passion with you.
This site is composed of two main themes: The historical and the touristic. I will provide you with the history and mythology of the Ancient Egyptians and, where relevant, travel advice on how to see it all for yourself. This is a historical site with travel tips, not a travel site with historical facts.
From the alluring legend of Isis and Osiris, to the amazing feat of building a pyramid out of 2.3 million limestone blocks, to the enchanting love story of Antony and Cleopatra - this site will take you there.
History should not be read about or learned; it should be felt and re-lived.
It should be... experienced.
