Egypt

We have had a great trip over to the Holy Land and I am going to post a few pictures in separate posts to give a feel of our trip.  We first went over to Cairo, and there saw the pyramids at Giza along with the Cairo museum.

From there we flew down to Aswan in the south of Egypt and spent three days on a boat sailing down the   Nile, stopping a couple times a day at temples along the way.

We saw a huge amount of hieroglyphs, temples, and learned a lot of Old Testament history in depth.

We saw the hieroglyph of the pharaoh Shishak.  It names all of the cities in Canaan that he defeated while invading Israel in 1 Kings 14.  We also talked about Joseph and Moses and the tribes of Israel.

After another day in Cairo we flew up to Jordan and Israel.  This last picture is of the holy of holies in a temple with a cool light beam coming down thru the ceiling.
