And yet this picture shows the naked, bland limestone infrastructure of those pyramids as if that is all there ever was.Also-- at the time when the pyramids were built, the whole area was not desert but was actually a lush, green forested paradise. The whole Sahara desert was rain forest back then! It just fails to capture the true beauty and wonder of Egypt in its prime and substitutes the bland wasteland it became due to climatic shift that turned their region into a desert and Europe from a frozen tundra into a green paradise.(Also, the people probably ought to be darker skinned.)</blockquote>
