  Introduction

Egypt is a country that boasts an ancient history and rich culture, attracting millions of tourists each year. Known as the land of pharaohs, pyramids, and mummies, Egypt has breathtaking landscapes that range from the Sahara Desert to the Red Sea coast. It's no surprise that this North African nation has become one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. For travelers who love history, there is no shortage of sites to visit in Egypt. From the famous Pyramids of Giza to Luxor's Valley of Kings, every corner of Egypt offers a glimpse into its fascinating past. Aside from its rich history and archaeological treasures, Egypt also boasts a diverse range of activities for tourists to enjoy. Whether it’s diving in the Red Sea or exploring desert oases on camelback, there are so many things to do that a memorable holiday is guaranteed.  

History of Egypt

Egypt has a rich and complex history that has captivated scholars and tourists alike for centuries. From the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza to the reign of Cleopatra, Egypt's past is steeped in mystery, mythology, and political intrigue. The earliest recorded evidence of civilization in Egypt dates back over 5,000 years to the Predynastic Period. Over time, powerful pharaohs rose to power and expanded their territory through conquest and diplomacy. Ancient Egyptians were renowned for their impressive architectural feats such as temples, tombs, palaces, and obelisks which still stand today as a testament to their ingenuity and artistic skill.  

Great Pyramid at Giza

The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the most well-known structures in the world, captivating people's imaginations for centuries. Located on the outskirts of modern-day Cairo, this ancient wonder was built over 4,500 years ago as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu. Standing at an impressive height of 146 meters (480 feet), the Great Pyramid was once the tallest structure in the world and is still considered to be a remarkable feat of engineering and architecture. Despite its age and long-standing history, many mysteries still surround this magnificent structure. Visiting the Great Pyramid at Giza is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that offers a glimpse into an ancient civilization's achievements. As you wander through the complex network of passages and chambers inside this massive structure, it's hard not to be awed by its sheer size and complexity. While there are many ways to experience the pyramid, one unique way is by taking a camel ride. Camel rides at the pyramid offer an unparalleled chance to explore the area from a different perspective. These majestic creatures have been used as transportation in Egypt for centuries and provide an authentic experience that harks back to ancient times.  

Cruising on the River Nile

For many people, cruising down the River Nile in Egypt is a unique experience with memories of the exciting cruise remaining with people throughout their lives. One experience that sticks is seeing from the boat the sun rising every morning across the desert in the east and, in the evening, setting in the West. The longest river in the world, it runs through eleven countries and is home to some of the most ancient civilizations known to man. The river was not only a source of food and water for its inhabitants but was also a major trade route that fostered cultural exchange between different societies. A cruise on the River Nile offers more than just scenic views; it provides an opportunity to relive history firsthand. The river boats stop off and allow you to visit temples dedicated to gods and goddesses, explore tombs of pharaohs and queens, visit museums, and sail past villages frozen in time. The journey will take you back thousands of years into Egypt's rich history.  

Valley of the Kings

Egypt has always been a country that is rich in culture and history. From the ancient pyramids to the bustling markets, every corner of this country is steeped in tradition and heritage. One of the most fascinating sites to visit in Egypt is the Valley of the Kings, located on the west bank of Luxor. This archaeological site houses 63 tombs belonging to pharaohs and nobles from ancient Egypt. The best way to reach this magnificent site is by taking a cruise on the River Nile that passes through Luxor.  

Red Sea Coast

If you're searching for a unique and unforgettable holiday destination, look no further than Egypt's Red Sea coast. This stunning region is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and magnificent coral reefs, making it an ideal location for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. The Red Sea coast offers an unparalleled experience for tourists looking to relax and explore this fascinating country. With a wide range of activities to choose from, including beach lounging, snorkeling, and scuba diving, the Red Sea coast is an ideal location for those seeking adventure and relaxation. The best time to visit is between October and April.  

Weather and When to Visit Egypt

Egypt is a country that receives very little rainfall throughout the year, with most of its weather patterns being influenced by two major factors: its location in the subtropical region and the vast Sahara desert. Due to these factors, Egypt experiences hot and dry summers and mild winters with cool nights. Alexandria on the northern coast of Egypt has a Mediterranean climate that is characterized by moderate temperatures, cool sea breezes, and occasional rain during winter months. This region also experiences high humidity levels due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. In contrast, Luxor and Aswam in southern Egypt have an arid desert climate with extremely low humidity levels.  Knowing when to visit Egypt can make all the difference in your experience. It's important to consider the weather conditions in the part of the country you want to visit and what is the best time to visit. The summer months (June-August) can be unbearably hot with temperatures reaching up to 40°C or higher in some areas. On the other hand, winter months (December-February) are much cooler with temperatures ranging from 10-20°C. The country is blessed with an abundance of sunshine throughout the year, providing visitors with ample opportunities to explore its many attractions under clear blue skies. The warm temperature in Egypt makes it an ideal choice for travelers looking to escape colder climes.  

Conclusion

Egypt is a country that offers an array of experiences for travelers, from exploring ancient monuments to lounging at the beach. Egypt is a fascinating destination for anyone looking to experience a unique blend of ancient history and modern culture. From the Pyramids of Giza, museums, Valley of the Kings, cruising down the Nile to the Red Sea resorts, there is something for every type of visitor in this diverse country. The best time to visit Egypt depends on what activities and destinations you plan to explore; however, winter months (December-February) tend to be cooler with temperatures ranging from 10-20°C while summer months (June - August) can be unbearably hot in some areas. Whatever your travel plans may be, make sure you take advantage of all this amazing country has to offer!   Sources: THX News & Wikipedia. Read the full article

A evolução é um mito: Mosaico do Nilo de Palestrina retrata homens caçando um animal pré-histórico extinto há milhões de anos

A arte de mosaico chamada “O Nilo de Palestrina”, datado de 100 a.C., representa o Nilo em sua passagem do Nilo Azul para o Mediterrâneo e retrata a vida cotidiana em uma cidade a leste de Roma. Nele encontram-se retratados muitos animais familiares com legendas em grego, incluindo o crocodilo, o macaco e a tartaruga.

Mas o que mais chama a atenção nesse piso helenístico tardio, é a áreas do mosaico que ilustra homens caçando uma criatura parecida com um dinossauro em um lago. A identificação do animal exibido no close-up está sujeita a muita controvérsia, visto que é difícil identificar com qualquer grau de exatidão a criatura. Cristãos conservadores e defensores do criacionismo, para corroborar suas crenças e teorias, têm invariavelmente apontado o animal representado nesse mosaico como sendo indubitavelmente um dinossauro.

Foi sugerido que o animal pode ser uma lontra, mas este não é caso, porque em outra parte do mesmo mosaico está exposta uma imagem de um par de animais que é explicitamente legendada como lontras.

A legenda grega para este animal diz que ele é um “crocodilo-leopardo”, um animal inexistente na galeria de nossa zoologia ou paleontologia. A antiga palavra para “girafa” era “camelo-leopardo” em referência à morfologia semelhante a de um camelo e ao padrão de cores semelhantes de um leopardo. Por que o animal do mosaico seria chamado de “crocodilo-leopardo”? A parte do “leopardo” no nome obviamente que não era devido ao padrão de cores. Podemos especular que este animal partilhava de uma mistura de traços mamíferos e reptilianos.

Não há nenhum animal em nossa fauna de hoje que se pareça com o "crocodilo-leopardo", nem tampouco que tenha uma mistura de traços mamíferos e reptilianos, embora haja um grupo de organismos extintos que pode e que é literalmente chamado de "répteis com a aparência de mamíferos". O problema é que todos os répteis de aparência mamífera extinguiram-se “milhões de anos” antes do mosaico ter sido criado. O gráfico abaixo ilustra este ponto de forma convincente. Note-se como o animal do mosaico está muito bem ajustado junto das reconstruções dos vários répteis com aparência mamífera.

Esse mosaico é uma das primeiras representações romanas de cenas nilóticas, embora várias outras tenham sido descobertas em Pompeia. Como esses artistas poderiam retratar todos esses animais extintos antes da paleontologia? A resposta óbvia é que eles testemunharam esses animais e que eles eram comuns em sua vida cotidiana.

Detalhes sobre o Mosaico do Nilo de Palestrina

O Mosaico do Nilo de Palestrina é uma obra de arte em azulejo considerada uma obra-prima da antiguidade que fazia parte de uma gruta-santuário clássica em Palestrina, uma cidade a leste da Roma Antiga, na Itália central. Tem uma largura de 5,85 metros e uma altura de 4,31 metros e oferece um vislumbre do fascínio romano pelo exotismo egípcio antigo no século I a.C., tanto como uma manifestação inicial do papel do Egito no imaginário romano, quanto como um exemplo do gênero "paisagem nilótica", com uma longa história iconográfica no Egito e no mar Egeu .

O mosaico, com uma moldura em arco que identifica sua localização original como piso de uma abside em uma gruta, apresenta representações detalhadas de de gregos ptolomaicos e etíopes negros em cenas de caça a vários animais, incluindo animais pensados ​​como extintos há 10.000 anos durante a Era do Gelo. Cada animal não só é representado com incrível precisão, como muitos são também nomeados.

É a mais antiga representação romana de cenas nilóticas, das quais várias outras foram descobertas em Pompéia. Um consenso sobre a datação da obra está surgindo lentamente. Paul G. P. Meyboom, professor assistente de Arqueologia Clássica na Universidade de Leiden, autor do livro The Nile Mosaic of Palestrina: Early Evidence of Egyptian Religion in Italy (Religions in the Graeco-Roman World) [Leiden, Brill, 1995], sugere uma data pouco antes do reinado de Sula (por volta de 100 a.C.) e trata o mosaico como uma evidência inicial da disseminação de cultos egípcios na Itália, onde Ísis foi sincretizada com Fortuna. Ele acredita que as cenas nilóticas foram introduzidas em Roma por Demétrio, o Topógrafo, um artista grego do Egito ptolomaico ativo (por volta de 165 a.C.). Claire Préaux (1904-1979), historiadora e filóloga belga especializada no período helenístico e professora na Université Libre de Bruxelles, enfatiza a natureza "escapista" do cenário fantástico.

O Mosaico do Nilo ainda era visto na cidade italiana de Palestrina, antiga Praeneste, no século XV. Quando notados pela primeira vez pouco antes de 1507 por Antonio Volsco, um humanista do círculo de Pomponio Leto, os mosaicos ainda estavam in situ entre os vestígios do santuário de Fortuna Primigenia de Sula. Naquela época, a cidade era propriedade da família Colonna de Roma, cujo palazzo em Palestrina ocupava uma parte das ruínas.

No século XVII, Palestrina passou para a família Barberini, que entre 1624 e 1626 removeu a maior parte do mosaico de seu cenário, sem registrar a composição geral, e após novos movimentos e danos, o colocou em exposição no Palazzo Barberini em Palestrina, onde permanece. O mosaico foi restaurado e reparado em várias ocasiões, mas as aquarelas cuidadosas das seções foram feitas para Cassiano dal Pozzo antes da restauração inicial no opificio (do latim opificium, local de trabalho-fábrica) de São Pedro. A redescoberta de Helen Whitehouse das aquarelas há muito perdidas permitiu uma reconstrução dos segmentos sobreviventes de uma maneira mais significativa, embora muito permaneça incerto sobre a composição original. O mosaico tem sido uma das principais atrações do Museo Nazionale Prenestino no Palazzo Barberini em Palestrina desde 1953.

No mosaico, o Nilo serpenteia por vinhetas representando paisagens e assentamentos exóticos; os detalhes mais recônditos são cuidadosamente rotulados em grego, ressaltando a fonte alexandrina do gênero. Lembremos que o Nilo não é apenas um rio do Egito. O Nilo é o rio mais longo do mundo, estendendo-se para o norte por aproximadamente 4.000 milhas (ou 6.400 quilômetros) da África Oriental ao Mediterrâneo. Além do Egito, flui pelos países africanos do Sudão, Burundi, Ruanda, República Democrática do Congo, Tanzânia, Quênia, Uganda e Etiópia.

A arte nilótica como o mosaico do Nilo do primeiro século de Palestrina detalhou a vida ao longo do Nilo. A natureza precisa da relação entre o mosaico e as práticas cartográficas é controversa. Recentemente, o mosaico de Palestrina foi interpretado como um mapa topográfico real do Nilo: a parte superior do mosaico representa a Etiópia, a zona superior da seção inferior representa o Egito e o primeiro plano representa o Delta, de cima para baixo entendido como sul para norte, a convenção padrão para mapas antigos. Mais provavelmente, no entanto, o mosaico fornece uma grande e coerente composição da paisagem do Nilo durante a estação das cheias, embora dependente de convenções topográficas.
