The civilisation of Egypt has fascinated people since ancient times. Nowadays the sphinx and the pyramids, King Tutankhamun and Queen Nefertiti are among the most recognised images on the face of the earth. In this gallery Michael Wood, presenter of many BBC archaeology and history programmes, shows off his own favourite top ten historic Egyptian sites. Some of them will be familiar, some could be real surprises, and on the way he'll be telling some of the stories of the pharaohs and the queens who shaped Egyptian history.
