The art and architecture of ancient Egypt have left an indelible mark on the world, influencing everything from the grandeur of The Luxor in Las Vegas to the sleek lines of Art Deco design. Even the American dollar bill and Sydney's Obelisk pay homage to Egypt's enduring legacy.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries and marvel at the beauty that continues to captivate us today.
