1. Sunset for the Pharaoh

    Posted in: Photography on Friday, February 11th, 2011

    The sun appears to be setting on another era in Egypt's long history. The Great Pyramid at Giza has been witness to many changes in the past almost 5,000 years, but one constant has been the survival of the Pharaoh figure. When not being ruled by foreign countries, Egypt has seen it's supreme leader change outfits and names over time, going from robes to suits and ties, from pharaoh to president, but the results have been the same, king for life. However this time might finally signal the end of one man setting himself up as a Pharaoh.
