Here is a non-postal cinderella stamp promoting tourism to Egypt. The view shows the pyramids at Giza with the Sphinx, and some hanebu or UFO craft flying above.

This auction is for a full minisheet of ten stamps. Only one is shown in the photo so you can clearly see the details.

The stamps have no gum. I suggest you use a gluestick when affixing to your mail.

(Please note that these stamps do NOT pay your postage cost. You are urged to affix a normal NZ Post or Pete's Post stamp alongside to ensure your letter is delivered.)

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, near Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser (constructed 2630 BCE – 2611 BCE) which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid & its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, & are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.

The Great Sphinx of Giza is a limestone statue of a reclining or couchant sphinx (a creature with a lion's body & a human head) that stands on the Giza Plateau on the west bank of the Nile in Giza, Egypt. The face of the Sphinx is generally believed to represent the face of Pharaoh Khafra.

It is the largest monolith statue in the world, standing 73½ metres (241 ft) long, 19.3 metres (63 ft) wide, & 20.22 m (66.34 ft) high. It is the oldest known monumental sculpture, & is commonly believed to have been built by ancient Egyptians of the Old Kingdom during the reign of Pharaoh Khafra (c. 2558–2532 BCE).

Khafra was a heretic and cruel tyrant. He ruled for 56 years & the Egyptians had to suffer under him like under his father Khufu before him.
