The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

This is true and it happened one hot summer, back in 1994.



I was young, carefree, had no kids. And I had time to spare in my life to go travelling.... So me and the bf at the time decided to go 'off the beaten track' and back pack around Egypt for 4 weeks.



week prior was busy getting jabs done, and buying necessities like insect repellent, and apt clothing for a western woman visting a predominantly Muslim country.

The trip went very well had some strange happenstances, but I put that down to being a foreigner amongst people that are poor, and unsocialised.



The day we met the Pyramids is a Day and experience I can never ever forget.

I feel extremely lucky to have done this.

My bf was really sick at this time he was throwing up regularly. I seemed to have been okay so far.. I hadn't thrown up at all.

I was careful what I ate there...

we were on foot from our hostel in the centre of GIza.. Everywhere you walk through the city, you're pushed shouted at, spat on or hissed at.. they can't stand western women.

I stayed close to mark as he was a big guy and protected me.

he pushed people out the way of they harassed me.

We got close to the pyramid grounds which is surprisingly close to the City.

only like a mile out. we decided to ride on horse back to the pyramids, it would take about 20 minutes to walk and the temperature was a stifling 100F. too hot to walk init.

We got closer and closer to the pyramids and I was just in AWE.

I could hardly believe I was faced with one of the seven wonders of the world.

I dismounted the horse and paid the guide, and we left with our day packs.

walking up to the main Pyramid the first stone stood as tall as me.

There were guards walking about keeping people from climbing on these structures.

we walked around gazing upwards to take in the mammoth size, then we navigated to find the entrance. We stepped inside and it was dimmly lit.

I took out my camera and had to crouch down a little to get through the squareish tunnels.

it was hot but not as hot as outide which was a nice feeling. rope hooked to the walls acted as grips to keep you steady as you climbed down these tunnels.

a labyrinth of tunnels, made simple by white arrows on the ground.

after some 10 minutes of cumbersome travel, we made it into the hub.. the epicentre... Immediately I was agasp.

there in this room.. about 20 feet square, was the tomb.... and either end were 2 European necromancers, chanting while sitting in the lotus position.

I started to tingle right away.. a VERY eerie and exciting sense.

I stood quietly and watched and took in the atmosphere.

Sooo humbling

I went into a side room and started taking a few pictures, steadying myself with each shot. when you're hot, you can shake and I made sure I was steady.

Having this situation meet my eyes and what I felt.. has never left me.



The photos i took inside the Pyramid never develpoed properly, they were aggresively shaken. yet each picture either side of those photos, came out absolutely fine. (this was a film camera)

I just had to share this story with you.. and I long to return to The Pyramids again very soon.
