An Egyptologist explains the Bennu — Egypt's sacred heron: the creation myth, why the phoenix's fire is a Greek invention, and why NASA named an asteroid after it.
An Egyptologist explains the sistrum — Hathor's sacred rattle: its two forms, the menat, why women played it, and the sound still heard in Coptic churches today.
An Egyptologist explains the uraeus — the rearing cobra on the pharaoh's crown: the goddess Wadjet, the Two Ladies, the Eye of Ra, and Tut's mask at the GEM.
The best time to visit Egypt is October–April; Feb–Mar and Oct–Nov are the sweet spots. Month-by-month weather, crowds & prices from a Cairo operator.
