Sixth day Cairo-Alexandria (bus about 3.5 hours) as a summer resort, Lighthouse ruins, paper Sedge, tour the Nile
After breakfast, after 3.5 hours drive, we visited some Eastern Mediterranean bride said the coastal city of Alexandria.
On the way to go to Alexander, David told us politics of Egypt. Since the current President Mubarak after taking office, the current 80 year-old President changed, the original six-year term of the President now has his re-election. Egypt's efficiency is very low, his exaggerated said that Egypt had no concept of time, two hours is two days, two days is two years. For example, we went to Alexander's Highway to repair two years, but still solid minute jam. He smiled and told us there was a Chinese tourists xiaokan China efficiency is very low. First, you have to do something, someone will tell you: no problem, will help you to do. Second, after a long time, to make, answer: never mind, must immediately. But for a long time lag between, you'll do, their answer: no way, it could not do. Dawei said there was corruption on the magazine's national ranking, Egypt was 12, but sadly China ranked 13. Then, the Chinese tourists is very interesting, he is a fat man, weight over 200 pounds, but he went to Egypt to circle a wish, is sitting camel to pyramid round. 大伟 to specifically give him a horse stout camel. But it wasn't long before he arrived and found that tourists have been thrown to the ground, with Sabina could fool the camel dung, anger he squealed yells: "you good Ah, Egypt started me on the camel, you told me no problem. I went to the camel, camel on top of me, I want to down, take a camel said never mind. OK, now I have been wrestling, he answered me okay. "We listened to David joke soon arrived.Alexander city is Egypt's main port and the country's second largest city with a population of 4 million.
And other regions, Alexander City Winter cool and humid, summers are fresh sea breeze blows, the Eastern Mediterranean is Eastern Mediterranean coast summer resorts. Located in the West of the Nile estuary, from Cairo, 200 kilometers, City West 30 km north to South the narrowest place less than 2 km. In the face of the vastness of the sea, and is against the wave of Meyer complements the Ute Lake, mild climate, year-round.332 years b.c., Greece Macedonia King Alexander I's reign, the establishment of the city, and his name, as the capital.
305-BC after the first 30 years go into Egypt Ptolemy dynasty capital. At that time, it is the Eastern Mediterranean and Oriental countries trade and cultural exchange centre, attracting over businessmen, academics, and poet.Famous after Egypt gaudily-Kristy AO Petra VII (Cleopatra VII, the top 30 69 — b.c.) is the Ptolemy dynasty in Egypt last Queen.
She far transcends others, intelligent, witty, and good evil intentions of the wrist, dramatic life. Especially involved in the politics of the late Roman Republic, with Caesar, Anthony, and accompanied by all sorts of stories and anecdotes that made her literary and artistic works of famous people. Kristy, Petra is Alexander the great conquered Egypt after Ptolemy dynasty Empress of the monarchy. Her father, Ptolemy XII olette, his eldest son, Ptolemy XIII and she shared the ruling (in accordance with the law, Kristy, Petra must marry his younger brother, Ptolemy XIII), rule Egypt. 51 years b.c., Kristy, Petra ascended the throne. Kristy AO Petra in ancient Egypt is a focus of future generations, in China, this young beauty Egypt every story charms with its 倾国倾城 not only temporarily preserve a dynasty, and allow powerful Roman King came and bowed in its Margot willingly to their service and sacrifice. Dante, Shakespeare, and so will the legendary woman described as "the great sexy sorceress"; and George Bernard Shaw also stated that she is "a capricious and not exclusively women love."Some people say, Christie, Petra is temptress "Nile" and as "flower of the Nile; some say snake", Christie, Petra is the world's all poets of his mistress, is the world's all revellers hostess; Romans on she hated, because she just let Rome into a row, Egypt; Egypt lauded her brave, because she is weak in Egypt won 22 years of peace.
30 years BC, Octavian attack on Egypt, Kristy, Petra suicide, Egypt into Rome, ancient Egypt civilization will have a great ending.Best represents the characteristics of this city is its coastal road, the road continues along the beach thing about 26 km, at the eastern end is Montaza Palace (Summer Palace), the western end is Las Huedin Palace (Bogd).
We first went to the summer palace, Montaza Palace, it is Egypt last King Farouk's Palace is located in the city East, 155.4 hectares, surrounded, is a unique garden.
1952 years ago has been a Royal family's summer resort, is a waterfront to visitors and fishing are open.Montaza Palace clung to Eastern Mediterranean, major architecture are concentrated in the 20 km long Bay.
And publicity of a strong visual impact of red color, the quiet and peaceful compared to Eastern Mediterranean but through a gentle grace and beauty. Towards the Eastern Mediterranean, marine blue, and touches the coast day is a row of red tile white Villa, make people feel relaxed and comfortable. Rest day in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea beach side is mostly of local people in twos and threes this or sea fishing or diving or trance, there are many mutual snuggle young couples but also for the coast drab Vista line. I heard that Jiang has stayed here for two days.Montaza Palace building looks frequently appears topic English letter "F".
That's because once a stampede of people to tell Fouad King, letter f will give his family good luck, since he and his son Farouk to their sons named beginning with F. 1951 Farouk and NA ruiman married, did not change her name, January 1952 the birth of their son, he is he named Necdet de • Fouad, the letter f is placed in the second place, after 6 monthsFarouk deposed.It seems that a lot of things really have doomed somewhere, we believe, is not fully trusted.
We have different views, Moses.After lunch, we visited one of the world's seven wonders of the ancient Alexandria Lighthouse ruins.
Alexandria Lighthouse (The Lighthouse of Alexandria) high 120 meters, plus the entire height of about Taki, 135 metres.
The Tower consists of three layers: the first layer is the square structure, higher 60 meters, there are more than 300 room sizes, used as a fuel, the engine room and the staff of the bedroom; the second layer is the octagonal structure, higher 15 meters; the third layer is a circular structure, with 8 m 8 pillar around the circular lamps. Light floor above, there stands 8 m Sun God Selene's bronze statue standing posture. Whole Lighthouse are granite and copper materials, construction, light fuel oil and timber. The lighthouse area of about 930 square meters. Clever designers also use reflective mirror of principle, with the light reflex to more distant sea. This unparalleled Lighthouse is lit each night, dedicated to the gate in vessel navigation, it gives the helmsman brought a sense of security.280 years b.c. in the fall of night, windy, moonless, Egypt's Royal Hi boat, in the enter Alexandria, ran aground and sank the ship Royal and from Europe to marry to bride, all Jone.
This tragedy shocked the upper and lower Egypt and opposition. Egypt King Ptolemy II ordered the largest port of entry, the construction of navigation lighthouse. After 40 years of efforts, a magnificent lighthouse erected at the eastern end of the island by Ross. It stand away from the island shore 7 metres of rock reef, it is referred to as the "beacon" by Alexander Ross.1500 years, the lighthouse of Alexandria has been in the dark for sailors guidelines into the harbor.
An Arab traveler in his notes in this record: "the Lighthouse is built on three steps above, in its top, the day with a mirror reflection of sunlight, evening light guide vessels. ”14 century a.d., Alexander city a rare earthquake shaking of the Earth to tremendous power to destroy the architectural wonders of the ancient world.
The city of Alexandria, the loyal top Alexander city Crown thus disappeared. After a century, Egypt King Tamam road, Sudan in order to defend against foreign aggression, Egypt and its coastline, ordered the construction of the lighthouse at the site of a castle, and in his own name. Egypt after independence, the castle into a Maritime Museum (Naval Museum). In November 1996, a group of divers discovered in the depths of the Eastern Mediterranean is said to be the remnants of the lighthouse of Alexandria.Unfortunately, the lighthouse has ceased to exist, we see today is the lighthouse nautical Museum on the site.
Next, we visited the Qom ceel-Shoka law underground tombs, entry may not be photographed.
This area looks like a waste to all gems, are under the Earth, is the largest currently find Egypt's Roman Cemetery, this big graveyard is a great discovery, was originally a donkey accidentally drop the caves, but accidentally discovered that the monument.This big grave completed in the 2nd century a.d., speculation is an affluent family tomb area, although there was already a Roman reign, the family still use ancient Egypt's sacrificial manner, and in the architecture and fresco performance is a combination of ancient Egypt and modern technology, the altar of frescoes remains pure ancient Egypt style, however, was originally built by the architects and artists were Greece Rome art training, therefore, in a presentation on the formation of mixed blood, which is unique to Alexandra Greece Romanesque art of ancient Egypt, such as sculpture, have shaken off the ancient Egypt stiffness modeling, and flexible integration into Roman sculpture.
From spiral stairs going down, like a deep well, have some picturesque to the walls of the cave, it is said that in order to hang when you put the location of the sarcophagi are open.
Some of the fine carving in stone, making patterns vary, carved Deluxe. David tells us that this is one stone, people alive when the bathtub, died when the coffin. After the wooden structures of the aisle, will first go to a lobby, the lobby of the inside walls and ancient Egypt's tomb is the same as the above sketch full death world and the gods of Egypt, unlike these gods long quite special, for example, in the tomb of ancient Egypt will appear in the head of the gods-Anuruddha Bissell, where it was put on the Roman soldier's coat, connected to the Snake's tail, into Greece mythology protection Hunter Adathodaemon. In addition, the patterns that appear on the scene rendered three times, including a mixture of Roman Emperor avatar into Egypt God Osei Rhys to offer offerings alongside paintings on Greece, the Roman period, compared to the pure image of ancient Egypt, this fusion of painting style, line more flexible and soft, but it lose its original stately and mystery. You can observe Central mural patterns of symbolic meaning, Sun life, left and right sides of the Snake is a symbol of death. The entrance lobby of the two sides of the statue, presumably, both male and female Buddha sculpture is the Roman aristocracy.Then take a bus back to Cairo.
We went to the second shopping: paper sedge.Paper sedge is a specialty of Egypt, the use of the plant's stem can produce available for writing painting paper, Dawei said, it's even better than the period of invention of China's Cai Lun paper also long.
There are many paper sedge creation painted works, the content is related to a fairy tale or legend, production stunning Pharaoh, it is worth buying, but the market often confuse with banana bark paper Sedge, cheap, visitors need to prevent fraud.Dave in person as we demonstrate the Papyrus production method.
I saw a picture of the Hall, Phil otherwise head, is the most famous painter in Egypt you draw 2875 El points list price, enquiry, know the paper sedge art is not a unique, each painting the same screen has 2 pay above works becauseThis, for the collection may be purchased, not very meaningful. If you like, or whether it is worth to buy. I'm with the shop owner doesn't allow it, but unfortunately cut a little too, ultimately no deal. However, our line of the last transaction in the candy, the price is the price of 3.4 fold.In the evening we participated at the cost of the project (approximately 65 USD/person): tour of the Nile.
We enjoy in the boat, the Western-style dinner and enjoy the famous belly dance and the Nile at night.Belly Dance originated in Egypt, at first it was only a two-bit dance, can only be performed in a number of smaller occasions.
1893 Chicago world's fair, held from Egypt's belly dancing troupe, when the first from the Middle East's belly dancing show at Avenue park mother, causing an uproar, and at the time of the dispute, but in the end, the belly dancing soon spread across the United States.Legend is pregnant expectant mothers give birth to a smooth, accept his sister's suggestion, the learning curve of the snake, swing swinging his body, the focus is in the abdomen, in the quick swinging the entire body, a wave-shaped, beat music, is relaxed and natural, smooth production, thus become the trend gradually evolved into entertainment of belly dancing, incredible.
Greece people believe, belly dancing and ancient religious ceremony have great relationship, Saudi Arabia is the female does not publicly mysterious religious ceremony another legend is a belly dancing is the body and mind in one of the retreat of the dance that is sacred, noble palace dance, as Western ballet.
There is a saying that "belly dance" is derived from ancient Egypt to the worship of the goddess of fertility.
Legend has it that there is a great young woman, married can not have children, came to the temple to pray.
Her idols before returning, the waist, buttocks, like dance, pray to the God of fertility, can round her dreams. Her curvaceous graceful dance, the presence of priests for dumping, to acquaint the Pharaoh. Since her "dance" dance as a priest. This from ancient Egypt Antiquities supported can be found in the murals, and today, has been handed down.Belly dancing girl dressed in red Luscious lotion with abdominal dress clothes changing fast rhythm, swing around the abdomen, the galloping arms, big breasts, with music, Dancing Barefoot, extremely fast, intricate movements of sensibility, quick steps, as in Europe and the Fox trot, cross swing dancing, elegant, sometimes delicate sentimental, charming, mysterious and sometimes proud cool, rotates like a Barbie doll in the music room, dinner.
In addition, we also appreciate the local a rotating dance, dancers are a man.
His dress clothes can transform a different shape, from beginning to end, and round, fully 10 more minutes, really admire him, we see people are quickly transferred Halo, he is batting an eye.Read the program, we have on the balcony to enjoy the night view of the Nile, Pujiang night scene, I prefer the latter.
You will be prompted by a world famous world first River-the Nile (I first cognitive or the Nile River originates from a popular film "the tragedy on the Nile", presumably a lot of people have seen it).7-8-day Cairo — the Doha – Shanghai (the seven wonders of the pyramid and the patron saint of the pyramid — Sphinx.
After lunch visit Egypt Museum. Then rushed to the airport, take the international flights return to Shanghai)Today is the last day of the journey, and the most wonderful day, just itinerary too full, so we are looking to catch the trot.
Pyramid, believe on this world-famous miracle nobody is a stranger.
Pyramid is the ancient Egypt tombs of the Kings of slavery. These rulers in history, called the "Pharaoh". Ancient Egypt people on God's devout belief, making it very early on a deeply rooted sense of "afterlife" they even think that "life is just a short stay, but only after death is permanent enjoyment." Therefore, Egypt to the underworld, as a continuation of the earthly life. From this the concept of "afterlife", ancient Egypt people alive, sincerely regarded, confidently prepare for death. Each rich Egypt will be busy preparing for his tomb, and a variety of items to decorate graves in order to gain eternal life after death. To Pharaoh or noble, he will take several years, even decades of time to the construction of the Tomb, and also command builders to grave frescos and wooden model to describe his death to continue to engage in the boat, hunting, pushed the activities, as well as his servants should do the job, and so on, so that he can die with the same comfort of life before death. The pyramid inscription "in this case:" the light in the sky to you so that you can go to heaven, as if la eyes. " Later, ancient Egypt to Obelisk's worship also have significance because the Obelisk also said the sun light.Ancient Egypt all pyramid in the biggest, is the fourth dynasty Pharaoh Hufu pyramid.
The great pyramid original 146.59 meters high, after thousands of years of wind erosion, top has nearly 10 meters. In 1888 building up the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it has been the world's tallest buildings. This pyramid's base is square decimetre 230 meters around the pyramid a week, almost a kilometre away. Hufu pyramid, in addition to its huge size and impressive, with its height of building skills. Tower of stone, there is no cement, stickers, and is a stone stacks in another piece of stone above. Each stone is very flat, the mill has lasted for thousands of years, even so, it is also very hard to use a sharp knife into the cracks between the stones, so could several Millennium not lying, which say that it is a miracle in architectural history. In addition, in the North of the great pyramid as 13 m height above the ground with a huge rock with 4 blocks the entrance of the triangle. This triangle is very cleverly used, because if you do not have a triangle and square, 100 m high pyramid itself huge pressure will take the entrance to collapse. Using triangle, makes hugePressure evenly dispersed. In 4 years on mechanics and such can understand and use, of such structures, it is quite amazing.Hufu died soon after, in his great pyramid not far away, and built a pyramid.
This is hufu son Hough la pyramid. It is larger than the pyramids of hufu 3 meters, but because it's a little high ground, it seems more than hufu pyramid. Tower near a sculpture at the head of Al-Sahaf and equipped with a large statue of a lion's body, the so-called Sphinx. In addition to the lion is built with the stones, the Sphinx is a huge natural rock hewn. It has been in operation for more than 45 years of history. Why long carved? in ancient Egypt mythology, the lion is a variety of mysterious place of guardians, is also the door of the underground world. Because Pharaoh's death to become a Sun of God, so I made this a sphinx daemon for Pharaoh.The famous Sphinx for us about the lion of God of ancient Greece mythology: Appian Bissell city people offended deity.
God's wrath, Appian Bissell land lowered a Sphinx of chimera. She's back on the wings, the upper body is beautiful, but is said to have the lower body. She defended than city of passerby a riddle: "in the morning walk with four legs, feet when afternoon walk in the evening three legs to walk. In all living things in this is the only with a different number of foot walk. Feet up, is the minimum speed and power. "To understand the mystery of riddles, passerby no match, were Sphinx.
Appian Bissell city people into a fear, ready to be eaten by the sorceress. So they swear: who broke the Enigma is Jupiter than the city of Kings. Just then, Jen Bustos King Frente a glassy, adopted son Oedipus, listen to the Sun God Apollo said that he would have no doubt, therefore he is afraid to go home, to flee to Appian Bissell city of refuge. Jupiter than man told him, Sphinx is a cruel, eat people don't blink of OGRE. Therefore, the wise and brave Oedipus met with Banshee, playing a succubus mysterious mystery puzzle. Oedipus replied: Yes. In the life of the morning, he was a child, two legs and two hands crawling to life at noon, he became the Prime, with only two legs; a life of evening, his old age, you must use crutches, so called three legs. Oedipus answered. Sphinx shame plunging off. "The so-called "authorities ' fans," when is the mythical encounter bad luck ' best condolences?! "Sphinx" may we have today is not a problem, but it may misconceptions, implied is irrespective of age, regardless of their nationality, without distinction, of all ages, regardless of gender, in each of us: their very often is not recognize their own, is very hard to see her.
This layer "bewildered" and cannot bring happiness, eager to know the self is a natural need, because only know who you are, and understand the real needs and aspirations, can find direction in reality, a taste of the true meaning of life, to understand the meaning of life, can you walk very tired very hard, and not feel wronged and remorse; only understand the ego before it can tear off too much because the so-called "life" and take the "mask", enjoy the fresh and tranquillity! one cannot truly understand itself, even if busy, will eventually be vague pain; even if the new level of rich, is difficult to Nai emptiness ...Barren, yellow sand everywhere, these plain Egypt ancient emperors tomb stone of magnificent display to visitors to its former grandeur identifications.
Our trip arranged three most famous pyramids: hufu, Hough, Meng Koala, three persons belonging to grandchild, but due to the decline, the pyramid of height the dynasty has also repeatedly. David told us that, to the pyramids of Egypt to not enter will regret life, while entering the pyramid will regret for four days, because many people will feel after climbing backache and back pain in four days. However, that is, to them, a pound, we chose to enter. May be too tight, Dawei arrangements we went into the half-pyramid (optional: 25 El pounds, if entering the Khufu is 100 lbs, daily limits of Egypt, it is best to reserve in advance).Enter the tower had to bow to the body, there is a ladder in the channel, go to the middle of a platform can be as small as rest, then go through a channel that has entered the tomb of the mummy is placed, we calm down and sat in meditation for a while inside, the legendary pyramids.
In fact, did not say so horrible polls, may there be peace movement, so it is not very tired, we are caught in the morning, who moreover climate is not too hot, so the air nor suffocating. Out, breathing the fresh air outside, but really feel tripping, breezy, haha, do not believe that you can experience the next, Oh.Here, of course, not forgetting to this tour, we all took many photos, a kiss is said to have the hand on the pyramids, but time is too tight for us to learn more.
Today's lunch is the last of this trip a China after lunch and talked with a few words of boss, the boss comes from Taiwan, to Egypt for two years, she is also the followers of Islam.
We think she's wearing a very refined, in particular the headscarf, asked where she is purchased, the answer is made in China. Oh, it seems, we have good support for the following products, instead of spending big money some fancy international brand, carefully selected some of the domestic high-quality products.After lunch, we visited Egypt Museum, here is the world's highest concentration of the ancient civilizations of Egypt, collections of ancient civilizations of Egypt-shopping fun.
The Museum collection is rich in ancient Egypt Museum collection in more than 10 million, in the introduction of Egypt culture, especially in the introduction to pharaonic era and Greece — Roman period of antiquity, is unmatched.Enter the gate, in front of, mostly Rock: stone, stone, Tablet, stone pillar, numerous and difficult to win.
This is the history of Egypt, is a "stones". Apart from a stoneThe Tablet is imitation, the rest are genuine relics, Oh.The most attractive eye is the figure of Mongolian King, Losartan card funerary, Golden coffin, mask, mummies, etc.-through the wondrous.
Particularly impressive is the figure of Mongolian Tan card gold mask, this is the 14th century b.c. Egypt Pharaoh sakaltutan scammon died wearing masks, found in his tomb. He was 19 years old when he died, leaving the mystery of eternal mystery. His Mummy explore, head cover with a golden mask, which made him become aware of the most famous Pharaoh Egypt, masks and real face size proportionate, just mask on his face. Mask made from gold, with precious stones and stained glass. Forehead part decorated with Eagles God and God, the symbol of Cobra, Egypt (Egypt to divine God for protection, Egypt to snake God for protection of God); the following vertical beard, symbol of the God Osiris Hades. The mask is the world's most beautiful art treasures. Sakaltutan scammon's tomb was discovered in 1922, the well-preserved, possession of thousands of handicrafts and artifacts, including gold, jewelry, sculpture, etc. Mask around 50 cm, are hidden in the Cairo Museum of Egypt. Fancy going through a time of change, this mask is still intact, the Golden shine to save.The Museum also has a Chinese introduction of El Bo collections, unfortunately, time is too tight, could purchase some regret.
End of tour, we arrived in the afternoon, the Cairo airport, left blank when the airport is very small, we use the remaining El points bought some paper sedge art making bookmarks and coin set, price is a bit expensive than outside, just outside the tourist is not much time free for shopping.
The airport also supply a cigarette after Egypt gaudily, because Islam is to quit smoking, so this is Egypt only cigarettes, there are two, we all bought a pair, the price is $ 5 per article.Bidding farewell to Egypt, we again came back to reality, but on Egypt's good will remain in my permanent memory.
