In reply to Jesse.

With all due respect dear no slaves were involved in building the Pyramids in Egypt it is a Myth !
they were the farmers of Egypt as they had 3-4 months with nothing to do because of the flood of the Nile so the Pharaoh would hire them to do a grand tomb for him the “Son of the God”
intact the British museum has some of the workers mummies that proves that they had Health Insurance !

@Sorin: Maybe you’ll have a chance to return and get to see a bit more of Egypt next time!

Lot’s of places to see in Cairo and near it. Will be only one day in Cairo soon ( hope another revolution won’t start) and I already fell sorry for not being able to see all the wonders of Egypt. So probably only Giza for me…

@Rick: Thanks, glad you enjoyed the piece.

@Thegrumpster: Very glad to hear that you are now inspired to go beyond Giza – you won’t regret it! And, thanks for your comment about how this is not “happy reporting” but just sharing an experience that I hope inspire others to visit.

I read Robert’s accusations about ‘happy reporting’ and couldn’t disagree more. I thought the article was both informative and entertaining. If you have an enjoyable trip, that’s what you write about. Usually, people who enjoy reading travel stories are looking for inspiration to venture out themselves. I’m now inspired to venture beyond Giza.

@Alanc: One of the people in our group ended up turning around when we were climbing inside the pyramid as the claustrophobia was just too much. So, maybe best for you to just enjoy the pyramid from the outside 🙂

I enjoyed reading your story of visiting the pyramids. However, I have to confess that just reading about your crawling through the interior made my claustrophobic skin crawl.

@Ryan: It is very cool to finally visit a place that studied so often in schoolbooks. People usually are looking for places and cultures different than their own when traveling, so maybe Egyptians would be interested in rainforest landscapes and temples like at Angkor Wat?

@Ken: Glad you liked the intro linking my pyramid experience with childhood comic book memories. Hope you make it to Egypt one day to visit!
