In recent news, an Egyptologist, Dr Sarah Parcak, and her team from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, discovered a new set of lost pyramids in Egypt. By analyzing images taken from satellites that are orbiting 700 kilometers above the earth, Parcak's team was able to find 17 pyramids, more than 1,000 tombs and over 3,000 ancient settlements.

With the current excitement over these new findings, All Inclusive Holidays in Egypt are a great way to learn more about these uncovered ancient ruins. Enthusiasts of the ancient Egyptian civilization have flocked to the proposed lost sites in order to test the claims. Initial excavations have begun, including excavations of the city streets of the ancient city of Tanis. Tourists, archaeologists and historians will be able to marvel at these fascinating discoveries. One of the particularly interesting excavations included a 3,000 year old house, which was found to have a very similar outline to the satellite image analyzed by Parcak's team.
