About Pyramids of Giza Egypt
Everyone talk about Pyramids, But I’m sure most of you at a certain point of age, had wondered that Why Pyramids are so special?
Well, If you also think like this then your answer lies here.
First, Ask yourself that can you build a structure like this without sufficient manpower and so called modern technology? Because the Great Pyramid of Giza is 146 m tall . It was built around forty five hundred years ago and still standing.
Do you know any modern structure that is still standing with a massive size and age.
Well, I think this is enough to understand why everybody is like Ooh Pyramids.
Of course from a travelers perspective there is a lot to explore in this beautiful country except the Pyramids of Giza and Cairo in Egypt. But they are the first preference and the number one reason why someone visit this country as a tourist.
Here people are just like Indians waiting for the foreigners just to handshake with them, to click a picture with them and if you are a You tuber or a by chance you have a camera with you then always people try to get into the frame. Sometimes people gets offended but there is nothing like this with people here they are just being friendly. So chill and enjoy your visit.
