  Obelisk  Celebration of the capture of the Jews This etching to the right, with the horse, is the celebration of the capture of the jews.  The figure in the middle is the Pharaoh on his chariot, holding the chain that is around the necks of the captured Jews.
 

Hand with royal seal This is the hand of a large Egyptian statue.  However, the hand is not as large as the picture let's on.  This hand, with seal of the pharaoh, was about 3' in height.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Aswan Dam

This is a picture of the Aswan Dam, the dam on the Nile in Upper Egypt (southern Egypt), that was constructed with the aid of the Russian Gov. that stopped the flooding of the Nile River.  This is the dam side, the other side having the huge lake that flooded the Philae Temple.  The 4 pronged building in the background is the monument built to commemorate the completion of the dam.

Cairo City
This is the view from the hill on which the Mohammed Ali Mosque resides.  The above picture has the mosque to my back and is overlooking Cairo and this mosque with 4 minurets.

This picture just shows how vivid the colors that remain in some Hieroglyphics.
