Wow! Impressive even in pictures--must be awesome in person! Can you go inside the pyramids, onster?
So did the sphinx pose you any riddles?

WOW !!! I never thought the "blocks" were so freaking big !!! So onster , how do people from that area think it was build ? As for myself , the only thing I can think of , seeing how big those blocks are ... aliens what other reasonable explanation ? I mean they didn't have Red Bull back then |

So are you in Egypt... right now??? And you find the time to share your beautiful pictures with us?
Or do you live there? Anyways, neato pictures! I wouldn't go to Egypt though. It's really awesome looking, but frankly it looks to hot there And barely any shade I see! Well I guess since erm, it's a desert....

Very very pics
Love the sphinx Pyramids are way too cool So would someone be allowed to climb to the top/near to it of the outside of the pyramids (providing they had the time & energy of course ) or are you not supposed to climb up the outside higher than the entrance way? I would so be tempted to go as high as possible Must be a wicked view from up there

I guess for safety reasons its not allowed anymore but you can climb to the hole in the pyramid which is the entrance inside in the one pic... |

Wow, those are amazing pictures. You can barely see the Sphinx's face though. But it is a few thousand years old so I guess I can't expect much huh
Those stones on the pyramids are huge! I've seen people climb to the top of one of them, but I can't imagine doing that. I'd probably have a heart attack!

Awsome !! It must have been wonderful to be actually there. To think after all the centuries that have past since that era, that the pyramids and the sphinx are still standing!! Great piccies.
Take care. |
