Eternal Egypt

Legacy

Ancient Egypt gave the world the most extraordinary monuments of all time. Although its 3,500-year history came to an abrupt end with the triumph of Christianity in the 4th century, this extraordinary civilization has not disappeared. When, in the 19th century, Jean-François Champollion pierced the secret of the hieroglyphs, the world understood what it owed to the ancient Egyptians.
