FLAG OF EGYPT
The main colors of the Egyptian flag
are red, white and black. These are
featured in horizontal bands of
equal sizes.
The red band, which is located at
the top of the flag represents the
time prior to the Egyptian
Revolution.
The white band represents the
bloodlessness of the war.
The black band at the bottom
symbolizes the end of the
oppression of the Egyptian people
from the monarchy.
In the middle of the white stripe,
so called Saladin´s eagle is
placed. It is a national symbol of
Egypt and it refers to Arabic
identity and independence.

Egypt, country located in the
northeastern corner of Africa.
Egypt’s heartland, the Nile
River valley and delta, was the
home of one of the principal
civilizations of the ancient Middle
East and, like Mesopotamia farther
east, was the site of one of the
world’s earliest urban and literate
societies.
Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is a
defining symbol of Egypt and the
last of the ancient Seven
Wonders of the World. It is located
on the Giza plateau near the
modern city of Cairo and was built
over a twenty-year period during
the reign of the king Khufu (2589-
2566 BCE, also known as Cheops)
of the 4th Dynasty.
Pharaoh Khufu began the first
Giza pyramid project, circa 2550
B.C. His Great Pyramid is the
largest in Giza and towers some
481 feet (147 meters) above the
plateau. Its estimated 2.3 million
stone blocks each weigh an
average of 2.5 to 15 tons.
Khufu's son, Pharaoh Khafre,
built the second pyramid at Giza,
circa 2520 B.C. His necropolis also
included the Sphinx, a mysterious
limestone monument with the body
of a lion and a pharaoh's head.
The Sphinx may stand sentinel for
the pharaoh's entire tomb complex.
The third of the Giza Pyramids is
considerably smaller than the first
two. Built by Pharaoh Menkaure
circa 2490 B.C., it featured a much
more complex mortuary temple.
