The years had flown by, and at 21, she stood on the precipice of a new chapter, her university days behind her. With her diploma in hand, she felt an insatiable urge to explore the unknown. Joining forces with Nice, she was ready to dive headfirst into an exhilarating adventure of discovery.

On a bright and sunny day, Edla prepared herself for an adventure to the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt. Over the years, her travels had taken her to just three historical landmarks. The first was the iconic Taj Mahal in India, and the second was the impressive Thanjavur Temple, also in India. At the tender age of seven, she had ventured to the Great Wall of China. After many years, this latest journey would stand out as her inaugural trip on her own.

The flight would take five hours, but her father had managed to secure a ticket that cut the journey down to just two. With excitement bubbling inside her, she gathered her diaries, clothes, and essential travel items, ready to embark on this thrilling escapade.

Her sister Alicia, armed with the most advanced technologies, came alongside her, eager to delve into the mysteries that beckoned. Nick, her ever-reliable assistant, was also there, lending his expertise to ensure their exploration was a success.

Two hours slipped by, and at last, they arrived in Egypt! Nick led Edla and Alicia to meet his friend Monisha, who hailed from this very town.

With a spark of excitement in her eyes, Edla eagerly anticipated her meeting with Monisha. As they strolled along, Edla's curiosity bubbled over, leading her to inquire about Egypt. "How old are the pyramids?" she asked, her voice filled with wonder. Monisha, ever knowledgeable, responded, "They are estimated to have been constructed around 2580–2560 BCE." Engaging in this lively exchange, they continued their journey toward the magnificent Pyramids of Giza.
