This selection of videos compiled into a playlist contains highlights of just completed travel to Egypt that took us from the Giza Pyramids near Cairo in the north to Abu Simbel near Egypt's southern border.
The journey included a Nile River cruise from Luxor to Aswan and travel by bus to Abu Simbel and Hurghada on the Red Sea. Visited were all three of Egypt's major museums: the original Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in Cairo where King Tut's Gold Death Mask and golden throne continue to be displayed, The Museum of Egyptian Civilization where the mummies of all of the Pharaohs other than King Tut have been preserved, and the new Great Egyptian Museum (GEM).
A visit to the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, or Thebes as it was ancient known, included capturing in video King Tut's tomb along with his mummy housed there. Among the other tombs visited there was that of King Seth I who lived 90 years after King Tut and has the most impressively decorated tomb in the valley with its preserved colored walls and astronomical ceiling.
Abu SimbEl is the location of two temples that were rescued from immersion in the waters of Lake Nasser that was created by building of the Aswan Dam in the 1960s. It was a world wide engineering effort that allowed the temples to be moved up onto higher ground along with the creation of two mountains to contain them.
