    ️ Standing in the desert outside Cairo, gazing up at the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau, time seems to have paused 🕰️ ✨ The Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure form one of the Seven Wonders of the World. 💫 Experience: - Measure the majesty of the pyramids on foot (one circumnavigation takes 20 minutes!) - Take photos in front of the Sphinx and feel the pharaoh's majesty - Ride a camel 🐫 through the desert, pretending to be an explorer - Watch the sunset 🌇 paint the pyramids golden in the evening 📍 Address: Al Haram, Giza Governorate, Egypt ⏰ Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM (extended in summer) 🎫 Admission: 200 Egyptian Pounds (approximately 50 RMB) 📸 Photography Tips: 1. The best light for photos is before 9:00 AM. 2. Wearing red or white is the most striking look in photos. 3. Pyramids + desert + camel is the most classic composition. ✨ Standing before a 4,500-year-old building, even the grains of sand in the wind tell the story of the Pharaohs. When my fingertips touch the rough stones, it's as if I hear whispers from the river of time...

    Одно из чудес света, что тут ещё можно добавить? Я не знаю какого человека это место может оставить равнодушным. Советую бронировать гостиницу недалеко от пирамид и приезжать самостоятельно к открытию и пройти пешком по всей территории, это незабываемые впечатления и эмоции, а главное вас не будут торопить различные гиды и вы не будете постоянно ждать отстающих из вашей группы, будете только вы, пустыня и великолепные пирамиды!

    The Khafre Valley Temple is an outstanding representative of ancient Egyptian architecture, carrying profound historical and cultural value. The following is a detailed review of it: 1. Architectural location and environment: - The temple is located in the Giza Pyramids, close to the Sphinx. This special geographical location makes it echo with the great monuments around it, and together they form a shocking historical and cultural landscape. When tourists stand in the temple, they can feel the exquisite ideas of the ancient Egyptians in the architectural layout, as if they are in a sacred place that travels through time and space. Surrounded by the vast desert, the temple is more solemn and solemn against the backdrop of the yellow sand. The silence of the desert and the solemn atmosphere of the temple complement each other, making people feel awe for the greatness of the ancient Egyptian civilization. 2. Building materials and structure: - The temple is made of hard granite. The texture of granite is hard and can withstand the test of time. Even after thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, the main structure of the temple is still relatively intact. The choice of this material reflects the exquisite architectural skills and high requirements of the ancient Egyptians for building quality. - The layout of the temple is rigorous, with huge stones and fine workmanship. The huge stones are cleverly stacked together, and the stones are closely spliced ​​together, showing the superb construction technology of ancient Egyptian craftsmen. The walls are thick and solid, giving people a sense of calm and solemnity. There are many halls in the temple, and the spatial layout is reasonable, which not only meets the needs of religious rituals, but also reflects the ancient Egyptians' profound understanding of architectural space. 3. Artistic decoration and carving: - The exquisite carvings of the stone columns are a highlight of the temple. The stone columns have different shapes, some are tall and straight, and some are strong and powerful. The carvings on the columns are delicate and vivid, including various religious symbols, mythological scenes, and the image of the pharaoh. These carvings are not only artistic and beautiful, but also contain rich religious and cultural connotations, providing valuable physical materials for studying the religious beliefs and artistic styles of ancient Egypt. - There were originally 23 exquisite statues of Khafre between the walls and the roof of the temple, but after vicissitudes, only one is left intact and is now displayed in the Egyptian Museum. These statues are lifelike and are outstanding representatives of ancient Egyptian sculpture art. They show the superb attainments of the ancient Egyptians in sculpture art. 4. Historical and cultural value: - As the temple of Pharaoh Khafre, it is an important manifestation of the ancient Egyptian funeral culture. The ancient Egyptians believed that the pharaoh would continue to rule in another world after his death, so they built such a temple to hold funerals and sacrifices to ensure that the pharaoh's soul could smoothly pass to the afterlife. By studying the architectural structure, decoration and related cultural relics of the temple, we can have a deep understanding of the religious beliefs, funeral customs and social system of the ancient Egyptians. - It is also a witness to the glory of ancient Egyptian civilization. The existence of the Khafre Valley Temple proves the outstanding achievements of the ancient Egyptians in architecture, art, religion and other aspects, which is of great significance for studying the development of human civilization. It has attracted tourists and scholars from all over the world to visit and study, and has become an important window for spreading ancient Egyptian culture. In short, the Khafre Valley Temple is known for its unique architectural style.

    [Monkala Pyramid] The Monkala Pyramid was built by the Pharaoh Monkala of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, who was the grandson of Khufu and the son of Khafre. The original height of the Monkala Pyramid is 65.5 meters, and now it is 61 meters high. Each side of the base is 108.5 meters long. It is the smallest of the three pyramids in the Giza Pyramids. When the British explorer Richard William Howard Weiss first opened the pyramid, he found a granite sarcophagus and the pharaoh's mummy in the tomb. Unfortunately, the sarcophagus is now lying at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. On October 13, 1838, the Beatrice ship carrying the sarcophagus and other cultural relics encountered an accident on the way back to the UK. The sarcophagus and the mummy sank into the Mediterranean Sea. Tickets: 200 Egyptian pounds (about 84 yuan at the time) Time: 6:00-22:00 Address: Al Haram, Giza Governorate, Egypt Transportation: M7 bus, Uber taxi is also available
