Pyramids of Giza and Temple of Hatshepsut

Finally, after a 2 day of traveling we arrived in Cairo, Egypt!!! This is the first site of the pyramids for us from the bus!! We were screaming and yelling because we had finally arrived and can see the pyramids!













The traffic was crazy!! Yes it is true the painted lines on the road don't matter. No one even cares about them. There was 4 painted white lanes but 13 lanes of traffic going down the freeway and not only cars, people would run across, also camels and donkeys trying to share the road too! It was so fun!! I enjoyed the chaotic roads. I'm just glad that I wasn't driving.













Early the next morning we went to the Pyramids of Giza!! They are giant and have been the tallest building on earth up until modern time. We went to a sound and light show the night before and it was so cheezy! "Man fears time, but time fears the pyramids" It was wonderful and grand to be there. We squeezed inside the clostrophobic tunnels and made it into the center. We sang some hymns that really sounded great! We were like the tabernacle choir just in a pyramid in Egypt! While we were inside I layed the tomb of one of the kings. It got very hot inside but it sure was a great experience!














Arn't the pyramids great!!! Here at the view point of the three main pyramids random arab men put turbins on your head and take a picture for you. Of course there is always a charge after its all done and over.

Just another picture of the great pyramids with it's gaurdian, the sphinx! Yeah, that stinken napolean shooting its nose off. Did you know that the pyramid's top was plated with gold to shine as a beacon to all world. It really would have been impressive in it's day.

A sweet kiss from a 5000 year old sphinx!!

Queen Hatshepsut's tomb! It was wonderful and great. She was the first Queen to rule Egypt.















These are some monuments of Queen Hatshepsut that lined the outer columns. There used to be one for every column but they were destroyed by her son.



















Queen Hatshepsut and her son, Prince Bush!



















A heiroglypic falcon. I think it has the B sound. We saw heiroglypics here all over the place!














This is the place where the mummies and the book of Abraham and book of Joesph where found and later were bought by the church and translated by Joseph Smith.
