Necropolis

A necropolis (meaning “city of the dead”) is a large cemetery complex. One of the most famous necropolises is Giza Necropolis and that in Thebes, Egypt. Ancient Egypt is noted for multiple necropolises.

Necropolises are still there today. The Giza pyramid complex is still in this world. You can go to this necropolis by flying from any country via an airplane. It is located in the desert, which is a barren area of land where little precipitation occurs. This complex is one of the wonders of the ancient world.
