Ever since Grade Seven Social Studies many moons ago, the temples and monuments of Ancient Egypt have been on the radar. So up the Nile we went to see the sites around Luxor and Aswan. In this area, the barren desert is split by the Nile and sprinkled with tombs, temples and monuments dating back 4000 years. Some of these complexes have been recovered from the shifting sands, a few have been relocated due to the flooded waters of Lake Nassar, while an unknown number remain hidden under the desert. All of them have amazing hieroglyphics and stone carvings that have withstood time. What a great place for a field trip.
