The place i want to go..

There is not so much place i want to go.....but if i have the time and of course the money...i would really want to go to egypt, to see all those pyramid built by the pharoah.
hmm..i got this book on my birthday (thank you)...about the 70 greatest mysteries of ancient egypt...i haven't read all the content inside, but i think it is a great book, if not...the publisher won't print the word great on its cover...
eventhough i seldomly read the book, but whenever i watched discovery or national geographic at time they aired those stories about ancient egypt, the lost pharoahs of egypt....i opened the book and look for the item that being showed...amazingly...similar, words by words.....to make it even better, i think i better watch TV than reading it thoroughly...but at least i used the book....watching something you like sometimes (i think most of the time), are more interesting than reading it. who would read lords of the ring when they can watched it.....talking bout books, i've read in the newspaper that there is an audible books available in the market....huhuhuhu....what happen to the paper?
i don't think listening to audible books would bring the same feeling as reading it (although i'm not a bookworm myself)...better watch the movies.....
erk...i think i'm a bit offtopic here....haiya.....back to one....bout egypt..
maybe the reason i really wanted to go there is because of the pyramid....the size, the perfect square...the engineering of course....2000 years back, who would believe that they built it themselves...if you ever watch stargate....then you know who helped them built it...hahahahaha
and one thing about mummies, when i was a kid....the first mummy i saw on TV was an egyptian mummy....so i though that mummies are only available in egypt. As i grew older and wiser, then i realise that they're mummies everywhere in the world...in mexico, in china...and in whatever...i think ancient egypt have the greatest mummies...all the other mummies were formed by natural condition.....while the egyptian was made to be mummies....wonder what are the true reason behind it?...
the sphinx...resembles a lion body with a pharoah head (don't know whos head is it).....just go to this site (SPHINX). it'll tell briefly bout it....
located near three great pyramid of egypt...the giza, the khufu and the khafre...
these three pyramid reminds me of some theory that rises several years ago and might still be discussed by scholars....the location of those pyramid are said to be paralled to cydonia thats why i said earlier before, if you happen to watch stargate, then you know that it wasn't built by ancient egyptian...hmmm...the stories would never end here...but i have to....i need to go there myself...to see and witness with my own eyes...
