You step out of an air-conditioned van onto a wind-scoured plain and the scale of the place hits you first: a skyline of geometric giants rising from yellow limestone, the Sphinx watching over them as if weighing the day’s visitors. The guide—an English-speaking Egyptologist—draws a line from the desert floor to the stones and begins to unpack millennia.
