The Pyramids as you've never seen them before!

The Pyramids as you've never seen them before!



Nicolas Aubert, from Malaga in Spain, glides above the ancient Pyramids of Giza attached to a paramotor. The professional paramotorist then passes just inches from the top of the 448-foot Pyramid of Khafre. Mr Aubert, 21, circles around two further pyramids, built between 2550 and 2490 B.C, and films a sunse.




This is the breathtaking moment a man paramotors over the Pyramids of Giza – giving an incredible bird's-eye view of the ancient structures.  
The clip, filmed over the Egyptian city, captures Nicolas Aubert as he glides above the stunning set of pyramids in a thin layer of fog.

The Northern Coast Of Egypt!


The northern coast of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: الساحل الشمالى‎ El Sāḥel El Šamāli, north coast, commonly shortened to الساحل El Sāḥel, "the coast") extends for about 1,050 km (650 mi) along the Mediterranean Sea from the eastern side of the Sinai Peninsula at the Egypt-Gaza border to the western village of Sallum at Egypt's border with Libya. It is one of the longest Mediterranean coastlines in North Africa.

Nefertiti and the lost dynasty!



Nefertiti and the lost dynasty!

For the first time, National Geographic Channel and Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities and National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, use a CT scan machine that can go inside these two mummies to get scientific evidence that will establish whether either could be Nefertiti — and if not, who they may be. In this one-hour special, Nefertiti and the Lost Dynasty documents the high-tech forensic investigation conducted by an international team dedicated to resolving the fate of the famed queen. In the city of Amarna, there lived Egypt’s most famous royal spouse, Nefertiti, and her beloved husband, Akhenaten, the pharaoh. They were revolutionary leaders, reinventing Egyptian religion and building a new capital city to honour the sun god. Also present at this time were Akhenaten’s secondary wife, Kiya, who many scholars believe was the mother of King Tut, as well as Akhenaten’s mother, the powerful Queen Tiye. It was a tangled set of relationships that would result in the birth of the legendary King Tut and the eventual disappearance of all the other key players. What happened to members of Tut’s royal family, the lost dynasty of Amarna?
