You have come tonight to the most fabulous and celebrated place in the world. Here on the plateau of Giza stands for ever the mightiest of human achievements. No traveller, emperor, merchant or poet has trodden on these sands and not gasped in awe. The curtain of night is about to rise and disclose the stage on which the drama of a civilisation took place. Those involved have been present since the dawn of history,pitched stubbornly against sand and wind. And the voice of the desert has crossed the centuries.
