Welcome back to our Egypt Vlog series! In this episode, join Ritschi and me as we delve into the fascinating history and architecture of the Eastern Cemetery of Giza and the Queens' Pyramids.
We start our journey with the three Queens' Pyramids of Khufu: The Pyramid G1a of Queen Hetepheres I, the Pyramid G1b of Queen Meritites, and the Pyramid G1c of Queen Henutsen. Explore the rich history and architectural marvels of these ancient structures.
Next, we take you on a tour of the Eastern Cemetery, a significant burial ground adjacent to the Great Pyramid. We'll highlight notable tombs, including those of Meresankh III, a granddaughter of Pharaoh Khufu and a wife of Khafre, and Qar, a high-ranking official during the 5th Dynasty. Unfortunately, filming inside the tomb of Meresankh III is not allowed, but you can explore it virtually through the Digital Giza Project, which I have linked below. Later in the video, we will explore the tomb of Qar, and you can also find a link to its 3D tour below.
Make sure to watch until the end, as we tease our next Egypt Vlog, where we'll explore the Pyramid of Menkaure and the Great Sphinx of Giza. Join us as we take a walk around these iconic monuments and show you their beauty up close.
