12 Mesmerizing photos documenting the pyramids with the Nile

Ras Sudr, Egypt - 3 September 2017: No icons of Egypt are known better than the Great Pyramids of Giza and The River Nile.

Long before the Sphinx was uncovered from sand, the pyramids of Giza met the Nile in a close encounter. A branch of the Nile River reached the Pyramids area, so distinctively when the time of flood drew closer; the pyramids’ reflection was seen on the water.

Now the pyramids are standing tall in the middle of a crowded, huge city in Egypt. Within a big network of streets and millions residents in Egypt - a totally different nature than that found in this era it was built in. It is mesmerizing to see great changes happening to their surroundings, while the pyramids are still the same.
