This week’s subject: Egypt

Something about ancient Egypt has fascinated people through the years. Maybe it is the sheer scale of the great pyramids, the tallest structures in the world for more than 4,000 years. Possibly it is the mystery of the mummies, remarkably preserved for centuries, or perhaps it is the achievement of a highly advanced civilization with its own systems of writing, mathemmatics and medicine.
