Pyramids: The group of pyramid complexes of the 4th Dynasty pharaohs of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure form the three most famous pyramids in Egypt together with the Great Sphinx, and are the only remaining "wonders" from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. During the Third Dynasty of Ancient Egypt (27th century BC), the architect Imhotep built Egypt's first step pyramid, the Pyramid of Djoser, by building a series of six successively smaller mastabas (an earlier form of tomb structure), one atop of another. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina: The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a major library and cultural center located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in Alexandria. It is a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria that was lost in antiquity. |
