I would love to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and the Nile Delta, but I am conflicted by the nature of current Egyptian society. There are almost 10 million Coptic Christians in Egypt by some current estimates, after having been founded by Mark the Evangelist ~40-60 years after Christ. Before Islamic take-over in the 7th century Christianity was by far the major religion in Egypt. Now it’s maybe 5-10%, which is probably a lot by Islamic nation standards.

See the pyramids and the Sphinx in Person? Nah. Instead, I will follow in the footsteps of Father Guido Sarducci — "I saw the Pope on TV".

I saw the Pyramids on TV.
