The morning air on the Giza Plateau is a dry, pale heat that seems to lift the dust from the stones as your air-conditioned car pulls up to a low, modern façade. Inside, scale shifts: broad plazas, a soaring Great Hall and a staircase that edges the story of kingship and divinity. Your Egyptologist guide moves between cases and pedestals with measured authority, pointing out the obelisk, the alignment toward the Pyramid field and the gold glint of objects that once accompanied pharaohs into eternity.
