The nation of Egypt reflects the history of humankind, from its earliest settlements, to the creation of great empires, to subjugation to other great empires. Modern Egypt reflects the events and challenges of the 20th and 21st centuries as well, ranging from World War, to Cold War, to independence and the creation of a Republic, which then morphed into more of an autocracy until the people revolted. In short, Egypt has something for everyone.  We begin our journey as many introductions to Egypt begin, with an examination of life during the period of the pharaohs. The countless monuments and artefacts left behind by generations over millennia give us some insight into the nature and spirit of ancient Egyptian culture. Law and religion were inextricably intertwined, made clear in a review of the theology of the day. Having survived our encounters with the Egyptian gods, we are ready to move on to the mortal plane.   That brings us to Alexandria, Egypt's second largest city and the site of Alexander the Great's deification. Though we don't manage that for ourselves, we get a feel for this great city's contribution to trade, the arts, and religion. It was here that the evangelist St. Mark spread the Christian Gospel, something which ended up costing him his life. As we return to Cairo, we see how that message lived on during an exploration of the gems of the Coptic Quarter. It was here that Christians believe the infant Jesus was taken by his parents to save him from Herod's "Massacre of the Innocents." A tour of the main Coptic sites provides a feel for the role played by Egypt's Christian community for the past two thousand years.  Our next stop is a slow and methodical walk down Al-Muizz Street, home to some of the most important sites reflecting the history of Islamic Cairo. Centuries of building by local leaders and caliphs have left an amazing bounty of architectural and historic works in a very compact area. Cairo became the centre of the Islamic world for centuries, and to this day has maintained its role as the cultural focal point of the Arab world. We trace Egypt's position in the region, and the world, as humankind went through the eras of colonialism, industrialization, alternating war and peace, the Cold War and its aftermath, culminating in the Arab Spring of 2011.
