definitely you will go luxor and aswan to visit ( Valley of the Kings - Wadi el-Sebua Temples - Deir el-Bahari ) also Shali Village in Siwa Oasis

What are some significant or interesting sites that are less visited or less well known?

Sorry for the delay. I had to call an expert as I'm not well educated in this part. There is no concrete evidence for this, all we have is speculation based on some studies such as the one proposed by Glen Dash, A theory in this regard, which is based on the ancient method of the "Indian circle" which requires a shadow stick and string to establish an east-west direction. He explained how this method could have been used in the construction of the pyramids. 

Also, a study from 2001 suggested that two stars, Megrez and Phad, in the constellation known as Ursa Major, may have been the keys associated with the method of aligning the pyramids. The lowest point of the two stars in the night sky could have been a sign of determining north using an ancient timekeeping instrument, which included a bar attached to a wooden handle to track the alignment of the stars.

Thank you for doing this ama! Fascinating to read the Q&As.
Were the pyramids located in any specific orientation to astronomy (eg sunrise/set, constellations) and/or mathematical principles (eg integer ratios, Fibonacci sequence), or something else?

Most of the times that Egypt was mentioned was during the journey of one of the prophets, whether fleeing to or from Egypt. There is very little or almost no mention of the history of the ancient Egyptians in terms of the pharaohs civilization. 

The times Egypt was mentioned were in the Book of Genesis / Book of Exodus / Book of Kings / The New Testament Gospel of Matthew

How much of the history of Egypt that is portrayed in Judeo-Christian texts, is portrayed in Egyptian texts?

The Sphinx's limestone consists of layers with different resistance to wind erosion, which explains the uneven deterioration apparent in the Sphinx's body. The lower part, including the legs, is made of solid rock, while the rest of the Sphinx's body up to its neck is made of softer layers that have been subject to disintegration. So the wind did play a big role but during the last Restoration works they found out that some of the big stones have fallen Because of the formation of groundwater under the statue

So it is both but mostly wind. also don't forget the fact that sphinx was buried in sands In the years before 1400 BC. This also made the same effect that water Does In corrosion!

Ok, I have a great question, but it might be very controversial for them....

What is their opinion on the Sphinx water erosion theory posited by Dr. Robert Schoch - a geologist from the U.S. who posits that the wall surrounding the Sphinx shows clear signs of water erosion. (which wouldn't be possible unless the enclosure was around 10k years ago when the Sahara was much wetter. 

I have heard Dr. Hawas say that it is from wind. Is that also their belief?

Thanks either way for using this medium to answer questions!

I think tourism is very much focused in the egyptian pyramids and there’s much more to see. What are other spots that as amazing, but just in the shadows?

The construction of the pyramids has been a great mystery, but analysts have suggested that the pyramids were built from huge natural stones weighing several tons, which were extracted from limestone quarries located dozens of miles away from the pyramid sites.

These stones were transported in various ways, including dragging and pulling on wooden carts, and sent through a network of small rivers.

They were lifted to the construction sites using ropes and wooden blocks, and each stone was lifted separately to be installed in its final place. Modern research has shown that the pharaohs also used cranes and wooden platforms to lift the huge stones to the top.

Egypt has more than 100 pyramids.

Is it actually known how the pyramids were built and why were those not mainstream across egypt? Are these the biggest ones or were there others we didn’t know about?

Thank you ! 

As far as the available informations. The first pyramid was constructed between 1530 to 2630 BC. What you mean by how it comes to being ?

would love to learn when were the first pyramids constructed and how did they come to being?

Hieroglyphics were a formal script, used on stone monuments and in tombs, and were very precise in their description. In everyday writing, scribes used a cursive typeface called hieratic, which was faster and easier.

Around the first century AD, the Coptic alphabet began to be used alongside popular writing. Coptic is a Greek alphabet with some demotic signs and symbols added. Although hieroglyphics were used in a ceremonial role until the fourth century AD, they were only read by a few priests.

I'm curious

How did people move from using hieroglyphs to developing more widely used languages and writing systems.

At what point did the conversion occur and why did it happen

All of the pyramids were coated with a soft white limestone. The limestone coating would have given the pyramids a smooth, polished finish that sparkled bright white in the sunlight. It is estimated that the builders used about 5.5 million metric tons of limestone during the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza alone, according to National Museums Scotland, which displays one of the original limestone blocks.

Is it true that the pyramids were at one time smooth and painted white?

About 4.5k years ago, the Nile River was close to the pyramids and the Nile had high water levels that helped workers transport materials to their construction site. but mainly the main reason for the rest of the pyramids was to save it from Nile River Floods

was there a reason for the pyramids to have been built ~7km from the Nile River and not near it? was it just the safe distance from flooding?

What’s the official stance on how the pyramids were built so perfectly and in a very specific spot without the use of sophisticated technology?

If you mean in terms of flooding if the dam is demolished. Yes, because it will raise the water level to a very high degree, which will cause a large flood in Sudan and a slightly smaller one in Egypt due to the distance.

I find Ancient Egypt fascinating. I have a more actual question. Can the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam have any known impact on the Ancient Egypt construction legacy ?

no. the only main purpose is being tombs. and the greater the king the bigger the pyramid

What were the pyramids built for? They are generally thought to be tombs for kings, but were they used for anything else?🔺
