Spent your whole life looking at images of Egypt’s Great Pyramids and figured them to be in the middle of the dessert? Their proximity to modern Cairo may shock you. But the somewhat urban setting does not take away from the reality that these massive limestone beacons, and their guard cat, the Great Sphinx, are more than 4,500 years old (by most estimates) and still standing as the only surviving wonders of the ancient world. For modern day time travel, it doesn’t get much better than this.
