Not Just A Cemetery
According to Peter Der Manuelian, an Egyptologist who spoke with National Geographic, the pyramids disclose a lot about ancient Egypt. “many people think of the place as just a cemetery in the modern sense.” he says. “But, it is so much more. “Inside these beautifully designed tombs, you’ll find fantastic sceneries depicting every part of ancient Egyptian life – so it’s not just about how Egyptians died, but also about how they lived.”
Stunning Art
The majority of the artworks discovered in Egyptian crypts depict scenes from the civilization’s daily life. You might see a farmer out in the fields with their livestock or crops, for example. There’s a chance you’ll catch a glimpse of spiritual beliefs and customs as well. “Almost any subject you want to learn about Pharaonic culture is available on the tomb walls at Giza,” stated Der Manuelian. “Almost any subject you want to study about Pharaonic civilization is available on the tomb walls at Giza.”
