Industrial Egypt History

Located on the plateau of Gizeh, the Great Pyramid has always been a place of mystery to mankind. Designated one of the Seven Wonders, the Great Pyramid was the tomb of the mighty Pharaoh Khufu who ruled over Egypt around 2600 BC.

During the Old Kingdom era, kings of Egypt began to emphasize their divine associations and their people believed them to be manifestations of the god Horus. After the time of Khufu, kings were also proclaimed to be sons of the great sun god Re. After his death, the king became associated with Osiris, father of Horus and god of the underworld. The king's sacred powers were passed on to the new ruler -- usually his son.

By the end of the 19th century, Egypt and its mysteries had become very popular in Europe, especially after Consul Bonaparte's campaign which brought Egypt back to the political scene. After Napoleon's defeat, Egypt fell into the hands of the Sultan Ali Pasha.
