In Dahshur, 40km south of Cairo, two pyramids vie to be the most beautiful. Two ground-breaking monuments that are allegedly the first true pyramids - a vital element to understand the evolution of pyramid building. To the south lies the Bent Pyramid and its peculiar angle. To the north lies the Red Pyramid, perhaps the very first triangle-shaped pyramid. Both pyramids were supposedly made by Snefru - founder of the 4th pharaoh dynasty and father of the famous Khufu. The greatest builder in Ancient Egypt. Two pyramids whose brand new building techniques were probably used as reference by all pharaohs who came after.

At the heart of Saqqara, the largest necropolis in Egypt, which was built around 2600 BC, is the Step Pyramid of Djoser. It is surrounded by a wall, covered in hieroglyphics which form a priceless book of the dead, the greatest body of texts in all humanity. This pyramid, with its unusual design, is the first and most complex of all. Under Djoser's reign, there was a veritable architectural revolution with the construction of mankind's first high-reaching monument, built entirely of stone. Kilometres of secret galleries stretch out beneath Djoser. Their conception and building were an incredible technical accomplishment for the people of Egypt. For almost two centuries now, scientists and Egyptologists have been using new technologies to piece together these subterranean labyrinths in order to understand the mysteries behind their construction.

The Pyramid of Khufu is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World which can still be seen in its original state. 146 metres high, 230 metres wide, and made from almost 2.5 million blocks, including 63-tonne granite slabs, the Pyramid of Khufu breaks all the records. It took at least 25 years to complete this colossal structure. How did its builders manage this incredible technical achievement? Today, Egyptologists and archaeologists have a new tool at their disposal: archaeology 2.0, which will help them unravel the mysteries of this gargantuan site by providing aerial and satellite images that help decipher anomalies in land shape and characteristics, and by allowing them to view zones that they can't usually see.

大自然療法
不同研究結果皆顯示出，花時間接觸大自然，原來能夠激起並產生生理以至心理的治療效果，促進身心健康，而且這項資源是無窮無盡的。三十多年前，曾經出現有關大自然對住院病人的治療效果研究。到了今天，科學家認為已有足夠證據，證明置身大自然環境或者城市裡的綠色地帶，有助調節心跳率、改善新皮質循環、減低皮質醇及壓力、降低心血管疾病風險，最重要的一點，是可以從根本加強人體免疫系。這些研究也顯示，花時間身處大自然，能夠減低焦慮感及精神倦怠、增強專注力、改善認知功能、甚至有助對抗抑鬱。這些富啟發性的研究結果，至今尚未廣為人知，相信最終能夠促進公共醫護系統徹底轉型。

some of the world's most prestigious institutions who are working to prove that time spent in nature stimulates previously-unknown biological and psychological resources and is an inexhaustible source of well-being. Thirty years after the first study revealed the physiological impact of nature on hospitalized patients, these scientists estimate there's enough proof today to confirm that any immersion in natural environments or urban green spaces helps regulate heartbeat, improve circulation in the neocortex, reduce cortisol and stress, reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, and, best of all, significantly reinforce our natural immune system. Their studies show that regular time spent in nature reduces anxiety and mental fatigue, increases our attention spans, improves our cognitive functions, and can even help fight depression. These illuminating results, still relatively unknown by the public at large, could ultimately lead to a radical transformation of our public health systems.
