great civilizations.

Some believe
that the pyramid
at Giza was
built by slaves,
but this is not
true.

A
pyramid contains
approximately 2,300,000 blocks of stone with an average weight
of 2.5 tonnes each and some up to 15 tonnes.
The early humans were in Egypt 700,000 years
ago for certain. To date, the oldest tools found in the lower Nile Valley have
been found in and near the cliffs of Abu Simbel.
