EGYPT'S GIZA PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX IN CAIRO -
See the pyramids' hidden details through an expert's eyes! History and mystery are revealed by your engineer / tour guide, who has his OWN secret theories....
The Giza pyramids and site of the Sphinx are among the oldest wonders in the world. Everyone learned about them in school; many grew up dreaming of visiting Egypt. What traveler (ancient or modern) hasn't wondered how these great achievements were planned and built? Now enjoy a tour with a true descendant of the ancient Egyptians: an engineer who has patented two logical theories about pyramid construction. Our experienced guide also shares his love of Egypt while explaining some pyramid building details that you will hear from no one else.
AUTHOR: Hany Halim is a retired mechanical engineer and a former colonel. He changed his career in 1990, but the scientist within him kept researching his grandfather's notes about pyramid construction techniques. Now a professional tour guide, Hany proffers two brand new pyramid theories that were patented in 2002 and 2007.
