NOVA Online | Mysteries of the Nile  --  Throughout the month of March, this Web site will lead you on a fascinating excursion through the wonders of ancient Egypt. To see for yourself the enormous energies the pharaohs devoted to erecting their soaring monuments -- particularly obelisks -- you will travel first to Giza, site of the Pyramids and that enigmatic half-man, half-lion, the Sphinx. You'll then head south to Luxor, site of the archaic capital of Thebes, to examine some of the great tombs and temples of the New Kingdom. Finally, you'll visit Aswan, where a NOVA team will try to raise a multi-ton obelisk using tools and techniques the pharaohs themselves might have used.
