When I got to the pyramids I was in awe, it’s still surreal to think what I’ve seen on TV and in magazines now was right in front of me.
Yes, those are the coach buses we were in….see how ginormous these pyramids are….sure puts things in perspective.

To think Abraham saw these periods, so amazing. If I remember correctly, there are 108 pyramids in Egypt. Other facts:
- Population in Egypt is 80M and Cairo 20M.
- Moses means “son of water”
- Most tombs were robbed, King Tut’s was reserved, accidently found in 1922. It’s believed he was buried in 1300BC (therefore was found intact and undisturbed for over 3,000 years) – that’s what made this discovery so huge!
- Majority of Egypt is desert, approximately 1/3
- Homes in Cairo go unbuilt for about 3 years. Government holds off taxes for the first 3 years up to 5 years. Farm people build when they are not harvesting. They build the homes to rent out but when the funds run out, they stop construction, that is why there are a lot of homes unbuilt.
