The myths of Egypt. I've read Egyption myths since I was little so I was interested in finding out about the place where the myths came from.

1) The mythology is really intriguing.
2) I'm a mathematician, and Egypt is where math made some of it's greatest advances and truly started.

Hm, that's hard to place, but I think it's been a journey, as with all good things.
Beginning with the basic images of popular culture--Cleopatra, etc.
To where I am now, with a complex image of Egypt, both old and new. Of its gods, and its culture.
For instance, I was watching a show about the Nile, and I saw how the modern people had completely changed the old sacred nile floods, and my first thought was "no wonder they left", meaning the old gods.
It seems pretty sensible, from my viewpoint--the Nile floods were seen as a gift from the gods, and the modern people just threw it away.

I can't even remember! Back in third grade, my friends and I would have dress-up Egypt parties and make up our own Egyptian names, and throughout elementary school, we would play in the canyon behind our house and find dirt mounds and make pyramids out of them ;]
Well, that was over 10 years ago, soo..
Haha, it just kind of stayed with me.

My mom and dad were always bringing my sister and I to museums. I've been going to them since before I could walk, easily. It must have been one of those trips, because I don't remember not being interested in Egypt.
I still have this awesome blue scarab necklace I bought at one of aforementioned museums, probably about 8 years ago...when I was six. so it's been for-freaking-ever.

I don't really remember, but I've loved Egypt since I was a kid. I love all the ruins and scenery. ^_^

I remember first learning about Egypt in the first grade and becoming pretty intrested in it and thinking it sounded so magical. Then my aunt got an Eyptian boyfriend (now her fiancé) and he got me even more intrested in Egypt.
Than I started watching Yu-Gi-Oh...and BAM! I became obessed with ancient Egypt! Can't wait until we go to Cairo nest year to my aunt's wedding...it'll be a dream come true! 4laugh

I've had an interest in Egypt since I was about 12 and we studied it for about a month or so. I was totally fascinated by the distinct makeup and dress of the time and the architecture. It's all just so culturally unique to me and I never get sick of hearing about it or talking about it.

When I was about 8 years old we learnt about it at school, and I thought it was really interesting. As I got older I loved movies like The Mummy and Indiana Jones...and I've always been a big fan of Tombraider...so I became interested in ancient history. I decorated my bedroom like an egyptian tomb when I was 11..I painted a sarcophagus on my wardrobe and egyptian gods on the walls and puts hieroglyphs round the room. It's not like that now but I still have all the ornaments.

I first got into ancient egypt when I was a little girl (4 or 5). I was very interested in anthropology at the age. That fact that bones made up our body and that they lasted for hundreds of year truly interested me.
So naturally that led me into mummies and egyptian culture. My parents were both into ancient egypt and had many books on the subject. Once they saw my interest in it, they invested in it and got me the little kids books about egypt.
So, that's were it all began.
