A trip to the pyramids

No trip to Egypt would be complete without visiting the pyramids. I was staying about six hours away (a slight logistical mishap), but that wasn’t going to stop me. Luckily my boyfriend and I discovered we could fly there and, about two hours later, we were in Cairo.

 

Unsolved mysteries
The city has majestic feel to it as you’re walking round and there was a kind of magical electricity in the air. The pyramids are the only surviving ancient wonder of the world and I couldn’t believe I was actually going to see them. Working for Prediction, there has been much debate in the office about the pyramids - how did they get there, were they built in alignment with the stars or perhaps aliens played a hand in their construction?

A surreal experience
There are all kinds of theories related to the pyramids, some of them bizarre, others quite plausible and some bordering ridiculous but we still don’t know how they were made and possibly never will. One thing that’s for sure is that driving through the streets of Cairo and suddenly glimpsing the pyramids is a surreal experience. But standing in front of them is a life-changing one.

Powerful forces
It’s thought that great pyramid was built approx 2500BC and stood a glorious 145m tall. It would have had a gold top and white limestone covering. It is difficult to imagine the pyramids even more breathtaking than they are today, but anything’s possible. It is truly humbling to stand before them, gazing up to their crumbling peaks. A single stone on the bottom layer was almost as tall as me. As I stood there marvelling the ancient Egyptian’s incredible feat, I really put my life in perspective. The pyramids are a great reminder that there are powerful forces in the world much greater, wiser and mysterious than any of us.
