The most mysterious land of the earth . . . Egypt is always very popular due to its extra ordinary wonders . . . like great pyramids, history of Pharaohs, River Nile, giant size statues . . . . each and every wonder has a mysterious history.
Of the seven wonders of the world, the famous pyramids located in Giza, near the city of Cairo, Egypt, are the only ones remaining nearly intact. No one could solve the mystery that how Egyptian archetects constructed those pyramids?. How did they joint the heaviest slabs hundreds feet above.
Great Pyramid of Khufu & Statue of Sphinx
The Great Pyramid of Khufu in Giza and more than 4000 years old, the
Great Sphinx of Giza is the most famous emblem of ancient Egypt.
Bent Pyramid
The Bent Pyramid, constructed in Egypt during the reign of King Sneferu (2575
BC - 2551 BC), was constructed in two stages, In the first stage, the architects
built the walls at an angel of 55 degrees. Then they encountered structural
problems and flattened the angle to 43 degrees. The pyramid's unusual shape
gave it its name.
Step Pyramid
The Steop Pyramid of King Djoser was built during
the 3rd Dynasty at Saqqarah, Egypt. It was designed
by the architect Imhotep. The pyramid was the first
monumental royal tomb and is one of the oldest
stone structures in Egypt.
I am really unable to understand how these great pyramids were constructed and how Egyptians learnt to create that much organized system in these pyramids?. How . . . ???. The best construction companies of the world still can't claim to create that kind of pyramids with a most organized system in it although they have lots of latest facilities to construct better buildings than before . . . . Not only the pyramids but also the giant size status of Egyptian Gods and Pharoahs. These are really amazing. 
Great Statues of Abu Simbel's Temple
In about 1250 BC Ramses II, Pharaoh of Egypt, built two sandstone
temples at Abu Simbel in southern Egypt. This picture of the entrance
doorway to the site's main temple shows four seated statues of Ramses II.
Giant Size Statue in Luxor Temple
Thebes, the ancient capital of Egypt, was the site
of the Luxor Temple, shown here. It was also the
site of the tombs for the pharaohs, known as the
Valley of the Kings. The contemporary city of
Luxor, on the east bank of the Nile River,
occupies part of the site of ancient Thebes.
The temples of various Egyptian Gods are still showing the glory of great era of Pharoahs. No doubt all the temples are also a wonderful example such as great pyramids. 
The Temple of Amon Ra
The hypostyle hall at the Temple of Amon in Karnak, Egypt, has more than
100 columns, each more than 20 m (70 ft) heigh. The hall was built during
the reign of Ramses II in the 1200s BC.
Hypostyle Hall, Temple of Amon at Karnak
This ancient temple at Memphis, Egypt, was dedicated to the worship of Isis,
the ancient Egyptian Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood.
Great Temple of Abydos
Built on the banks of the Nile River, the city of
Abydos was the burial place of most Egyptian
kings from 2920 to 2649 BC. Shown here is
the Great Temple of Abydos, constructed
during the reign of Seti I, from 1306 to 1290
BC.
Temple at Al-Karnak, Egypt
The group of temples at Al Karnak were built over a period of approximately
1500 years. Some of the most important additions were made by Thutmose
III, who ruled Egypt during the 1400s BC. Hieroglyphs discovered on the
temple walls record the events of Thutmose's numerous military campaigns
in Asia and Africa by which he greatly expanded the Egyptian empire.
Temple at Luxor
The ancient Egyptian temple at Luxor on the east bank of the Nile River
was built to honor the Gods. It was begun in the 1200s BC and was
added on to by each succeeding dynasty. The use of colossal statues
and obelisks was standard for all Egyptian temples at that time. This
temple was connected to the temple at Al Karnak by a street about
3.5 km (2 miles) long, lined with hundreds of Shpinxes. Once a year
the image of the God Amon was transported by barge from Al
Karnak to Luxor as part of a huge festival.
Temple of Hathor
Construction of the Temple of Hathor at
Dandarah, Egypt, began in the 1st century
BC. The huge sandstone complex is one
of the best preserved remains of ancient
Egypt.
Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut
Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt reigned in the
1400s BC. Her funerary temple is near the
valley of Kings, in present-day Luxor.
Many supernatural events are very popular about pyramids and about temples. And the ancient Egyptian Gods are also very popular like Amon Ra, Isis, Hotud, Anubis . . .
Horus (God of Sky, Light and Goodness)
Worshiped throughout ancient Egypt, Horus was the God
of Sky, light and goodness. He is often depicted as a
falcon or with a falcon's head. Pharoahs were associated
with Horus.
Isis (Goddess of Motherhood & Fertility)
In Egyptian mythology, Isis is the Goddess of Motherhood
& Fertility. She is shown in this relief sclupture at the Chapal
of Osiris in the temple of King Seti I at Abydos. Isis worship
lasted until the 6th Century AD, when the last temples were
closed following the widespread adoption of other religions.
Osiris and Anubis
Egyptian mythological figure Osiris lived in the fabled underworld
as the ruler of the dead. He is shown here (center) with the jackal
-headed Anubis, another God of the Dead. This depiction dates
from the 18th dynasty in Egypt (1550-1307 BC) and is in the
Museo Egizio in Turin, Italy.
The most amazing wonder of Pharoahs was mumification. They used to preserve the dead bodies of died Pharoahs and these are still in good condition. Again I am wondering how Egyptians learnt preservation of dead bodies?. Who taught them?. 
Egyptian Mummy
The ancient Egyptians are believed to be the first
people to practice embalming, in which a dead body
is artificially preserved to retard the decaying process.
The Egyptians believed that it was necessary to
preserve a body in order to allow the soul to survive.
Ancient embalming methods included covering the
dead body with carbonate of soda and injecting
natural substances such as balsamic herbs into its
cavities before wrapping the corpse with cloths,
creating a mummy. Today embalmers use prepared
chemical substances to preserve a body for funereal
viewing and the prevent the spread of infection.
Egyptian Mummy from the Roman Period
A gilded plaster and pasteboard mask covers the mummified remains
of a young man who was entombed some 2000 years ago in a vast
burial ground near Egypt's Bahariya Oasis. The hairstyle, with its tight
rows of curls, shows the influence of Roman traditions, while other
icons on the mask are clearly Egyptians. This mummy belongs to a
large trove discovered in 1999.
Anubis and the Mummy
The ancient Egyptians believed that their God of the Dead, Anubis, was the
inventor of embalming. This piece of art shows the jackal-headed Anubis
preparing a mummy. It dates from 1314-1200 BC.
who taught them . . . may be such jackal headed creatures taught Egyptians and may be they also taught them how to build pyramids, how to construct giant size statues, how to create amazingly organized systems in pyramids and temples . . . and may be such kind of animal headed creatures were ALIENS . . . may be they came from a different planet . . . may be they chose Egypt for teaching these technologies therefore Egypt was a super power in its ancient era . . .
