Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

EGYPT PHOTO TOUR ( GIZA -NILE CRUISE-MT.SINAI )
EGYPT: Nile Cruise & Ancient Monuments (Luxor, Aswan, Giza)
Impression of Egypt along the Nile. More videos of the 7-day Nile Cruise:
Egyptian civilization have depended on the river Nile since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along the Nile valley north of Aswan. Silt deposits from the Nile made the surrounding land fertile because the river overflowed its banks annually. The Ancient Egyptians cultivated and traded wheat, flax, papyrus and other crops around the Nile. The Nile was also a convenient and efficient means of transportation for people and goods. Nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along river banks.
The Nile was an important part of ancient Egyptian spiritual life and considered to be a causeway from life to death and the afterlife. The east was thought of as a place of birth and growth, and the west was considered the place of death. Thus, all tombs were west of the Nile, because the Egyptians believed that in order to enter the afterlife, they had to be buried on the side that symbolized death.

For more detailed information about each monument see the description of each individual video. Except for:
The Colossi of Memnon (51:16) are two massive stone statues of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who reigned in Egypt during the Dynasty XVIII. For the past 3,400 years (since 1350 BC), they have stood in the Theban Necropolis, located west of the River Nile from the modern city of Luxor. Two shorter figures are carved into the front throne alongside his legs: these are his wife Tiye and mother Mutemwiya. The side panels depict the Nile god Hapy.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities (55:30), known commonly as the Egyptian Museum, in Cairo-Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. It houses the world's largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities.
Part of the collection will be moved to the new Grand Egyptian Museum set to open in 2020. It will house Tutankhamun's complete collection of between 4000 and 5000 artefacts, many of which are undergoing restoration and have never been displayed; the vast collection we have viewed at the old museum represents only about a third of the whole. The Grand Egyptian Museum is located on 50 hectares at Giza, two kilometres from the Grand Pyramids. The Egyptian Museum in Cairo will remain open.

Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt
Arabian proverb says, Everything in the world is afraid of time, and time is afraid of the pyramids. In the end of this year we would like to invite our visitors to have a bird-eye view of the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt - the only one of Seven Wonders of the World which is still standing...
3D virtual tour over Pyramids:
Archaeologists unveil ancient Luxor tomb, open closed coffin for first time
A previously unopened sarcophagus was opened for the first time on Saturday (November 24) as two Egyptian discoveries were unveiled in Luxor's west bank. The intact sarcophagus contained a well preserved mummy of a woman named Thuya and dates to the 18th Egyptian dynasty.
It was discovered earlier this month by a French led mission in the northern region of El-Assasif, along with another anthropoid sarcophagus which was opened and examined.
Earlier in the day a tomb belonging to Thaw Rakht If, the overseer of the mummification shrine, was unveiled along with 1000 small wooden and clay statues, and five coloured masks.
Three-hundred metres of rubble was removed over five months to uncover the tomb, which contains coloured wall scenes depicting the owner and his family. The tomb dates back to the middle-kingdom almost 4000 years ago, but was reused during the alte period.
Ancient Egyptians mummified humans to preserve their bodies for the afterlife, while animal mummies were used as religious offerings. So far Egypt has revealed over a dozen ancient discoveries this year.
Egypt is hoping these discoveries will brighten its image abroad and revive interest among travellers who once flocked to its iconic pharaonic temples and pyramids but who have shunned the country since its 2011 political uprising.

Scientists Have Just Discovered Two Secret Rooms Hidden Inside the Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid Of Giza in Egypt is one of the most amazing structures on Earth. This massive structure is made of stones that weight hundreds and thousands of pounds. Because heavy machinery wasn't around in ancient Egypt, we can only assume that the pyramid was built with human hands. This is pretty amazing. Archaeologists from all over the world have been studying the pyramid for hundreds of years. Because this pyramid has been studied by experts so many times, it is pretty amazing that scientists have just discovered two secret rooms hidden inside the Great Pyramid Of Giza. How is it possible that they remained hidden until now?
It is believed that it took between 10 and 20 years to build the pyramid, which was completed around 2560 BC. When it was first built, the pyramid stood at 480-feet high. For over 3,800 years, it was the biggest construction project ever taken on by man. The pyramid is said to have been the final resting place of a Fourth Dynasty pharaoh named Khufu. Ancient Egyptians knew the pyramid as Khufu's Horizon back then. It is surrounded by three smaller pyramids which were tributes to Khufu's wives. The Great Pyramid Of Giza is the best preserved of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Since the 19th century, Egyptologists have been studying the Great Pyramid. It was always believed that the pyramid had three chambers. The first chamber is a work in progress that was carved out in rock below the main part of the construction. The second and third chambers are enormous, and they are known as the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber. The King's Chamber is the largest of the two. It is 35-feet by 17-feet. It has a flat room that is over 19-feet tall. The Queen's Chamber is just under 19-feet by 17-feet. It has a pointed roof that is about 20-feet high. The Grand Gallery connects them. It is a passageway that is about 28-feet high and over 150-feet long.
A recent discovery has revealed that there is more to the interior of the pyramid than initially thought. It was discovered during a pioneering project called the Scan Pyramids program, which was led by teams from the Cairo University and the Heritage, Innovation, and Preservation Institute in Paris. The project began in October 2016, and using the latest scientific techniques; they revealed two mysterious anomalies in the pyramid.
One of the new findings was discovered on the northern wall of the pyramid. The researchers working on the project believe that there is a hidden corridor that extends into the central part of the pyramid. The team installed 12 muon-detecting plates in 2016, and they are hoping that this will help them learn more about their discovery.
The second anomaly that was discovered is located on the northeast face of the pyramid. The researchers believe that there is a void that extends deep into the pyramid. They don't think that there is a connection between the two cavities; however, their research is still in the very early stages.
While the new discoveries are fascinating, the way that they made the discoveries is even more incredible. They used cosmic rays to find out more about the inside of the pyramid. Cosmic rays are incredibly high-energy radiation, often from beyond our solar system. When the rays hit atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they create subatomic particles that are called muons. Around 10,000 muons per square meter per minute come into contact with the Earth. They are very useful for scientists. The muons can travel through matter, similar to an x-ray but much better. The researchers at the pyramid are using specialized equipment to see how the muons pass through solid objects such as the stone of the Great Pyramid.
The researchers left the detectors in place for 67 days so that they could receive and record the muons. The results from the detectors were sent to Nagoya University in Japan which was where the anomalies were discovered.
According to the Ministry of State of Antiquities in Egypt, more work needs to be done before we get any real answers. They believe that it will be irresponsible to jump to conclusions without more research.
So far, without the necessary research, the experts still don't know what to think about the discovery. The anomalies could be simply the differences between the sizes in the stones that were used to build the pyramids. It could also be new rooms that we never knew existed. Only time will tell.
