A Thousand Miles up the Nile Chapter IV - Sakkârah and Memphis Part 1
In which the author and her party embark on an animated and dusty journey from Bedreshayn through the verdant palms and ancient village outposts toward the awe-inspiring, time-worn pyramids of Sakkârah and Memphis, where the mingled remnants of human history lie scattered beneath their feet. The quiet grandeur of these monumental relics inspires reflections on the vast gulf of time that separates modern eyes from these ancient constructions, as well as the curious customs of tomb exploration and the singular figure of George, their English groom, set against the Egyptian landscape.
