The Pyramids of Egypt: A new pyramid discovered south of Cairo.
In Egypt, it is to believe that a pyramid hides under each grain of sand. Or almost… In fact, Egypt would have no less than 123 pyramids. The remains of this 3,700-year-old pyramid were discovered "in good condition" in Egypt at the archaeological site of Dahshur near Cairo.
According to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, Egyptian archaeologists discovered “a corridor leading inside the pyramid. It is extended by a ramp”, a granite lintel, as well as a blackened alabaster block of 15 cm x 17 cm covered with hieroglyphs.
Cairo "The Victorious") is the capital and largest city of Egypt. Its population is over sixteen million. This makes it the largest city in the Middle East and the second in Africa behind Lagos. It is also the sixth largest city in the world in 2015. Although Al-Q?hira is the official name, in Egyptian Arabic.
It is located upstream of the Nile delta, on the banks of the river as well as on some adjacent islands. It is located in the north of the country, 220 km south-east of Alexandria and 150 km west of the Suez Canal. The inhabitants of Cairo are called Cairotes.
The Memphis area has long been a major center of ancient Egypt. Around the 4th century, the Romans established the fortress city of Babylon along the east bank of the Nile.
Since the conquest of Egypt by the Arabs in 641, Al-Fustat became an administrative and religious center. The Fatimids and their troops made up of Kotamas Berbers from Algeria founded the current urban core. Then named Al-Mansûriyyah, to make it their new capital. Located on the spice route between Europe and Asia.
