Ancient Egypt Today,

Unfortunately there is not too much left because most was destroyed either by humans or time. In this page I intend to show you a part of what’s left from this great civilization.

I will take you on a tour trough the most ancient monuments on the planet.
Most of the photographs were made by me during my journey to Egypt in October 2007. I have also used photographs from other sources.

According to the standard theory (supported by most of the egyptologists) the ancient Egypt civilization originated around 3000 b.c.
Other scientists like John Anthony West develop the theory that egyptian civilization is much older. According to that theory the sphinx statue is more than 10 000 years old and the reason to it’s damaged surface is that there was a large amount of rains during that period.   

Whereas a few years ago by the means of supersonic technology was discovered that the front right paw of the sphinx is hollow and forms a chamber which contains ancient papyruses describing different ancient technologies (Edgar Casey). Unfortunately the Egyptian authorities does not permit for the chamber to be opened.

Both theories have their supporters but I (as a building engineer) tend to believe the second because of the fact that most of the ancient monuments could not be built with the help of modern machinery, then much less with primitive instruments.  In places like the temple of Kom Ombo, Edfu and others there are raised pillars that weight around 10 tons and are mounted with accuracy of millimeters and obelisks that are carved from one piece and weight much more. All this makes me think that we (as a civilization) do not know a lot about the ancients and most of the egyptologists are fooling us by showing us animations with egyptians building pyramids by using hammers and burins and dragging huge stone blocks by using ramps.

I seriously doubt that the truth about this ancient civilization will be brought to light.
The reason for creating ancientegyptoday.com is I could not find high quality pictures for the ancient monuments in the internet and also that I am a great enthusiast on this theme.
