No rock 'n' roll legends in Memphis, Egypt

Egypt to India Tours


Memphis, Egypt is one of the country's oldest capitals.

Many of ancient Egypt's secrets have been uncovered, yet some spots still retain their mystery. For those seeking some of the last remaining secrets of the country on Egypt tours, one of the best places to visit is the ancient city of Memphis.

Although the city shares its name with a more modern metropolitan are in the United States, Memphis, Egypt, was once a sacred city that was highly revered by Egyptians. The city is believed to have been the country's first capital with the first royal residence, yet it is one of the cities of which modern Egyptologists and archaeological experts know the very least.

Several temples were erected in the city, and many gods were prescribed specifically to Memphis. Tutankhamun himself is said to have revered the city, and the boy pharaoh is believed to have encouraged his people to worship the gods that were represented here. King Tut even had a statue of his likeness erected at the Ptah Memphis Temple. Ancient tombs of royalty have been uncovered in the city's necropolis as well.
