Egypt was one of the greatest civilizations of the past. The monuments and tombs of the
              country's greatest rulers continue to stand intact, some 3,000 years later.  People seeking
              Egypt's mysterious treasures began in the late 18th century and since then a huge number
              of ancient towns, temples and tombs have been excavated.  No other country in the world
              has as many impressive ancient remains as Egypt does. In the Nile Valley the past seems
              very close.  The people who lived there thousands of years ago left us a wonderful legacy
              of art, architecture and literature.
