Beyond Giza: These Egyptian Pyramids are Just as Significant

To be born Egyptian is to grow up eternally obligated to answer the question-pair, “You’re from Egypt? How many times have you been to the Pyramids?” more times than you’d like to admit. Oftentimes, when we’re done regurgitating the customary on-the-spot history lesson to those that hail from lands beyond, we are left thinking, Iis this all we are?”

That question often trickles into another, more niche, question: “Do people know there are more than just three pyramids out there?”
