Our first day started out as a rush. It turns out that our phone could not ring and we were awoken by our tour guide knocking on our door saying we were already 30 minutes late. When we did get going, we toured Giza Pyramids (Cheops, Chephran, and Micernius) the oldest being about 4500 years. We saw the funeral boat of Cheops that carried his coffin on the Nile for all to see before internment. At Chephrans pyramid, we walked hunched over practically in a ball, into the burial chamber. The air was a bit close and scented of body odor. I don’t think the Pharaoh is happy with that. We were so hunched over that even the next day both of us had very sore legs. We also toured Memphis, the first capital of the unified North and South Egypt. It was founded by Ramses II (The Great). There were actually 7 different King Ramses and 17 total dynasties of Egypt. In Memphis, we saw many statues that had been found in the area.
