Gizus (Hamarapi) (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

Gizus, sometimes spelled Gizas, Gizeus or Jizah is the second-largest city in Hamarapi after Cairo and fourth-largest city in Efrika after Kinshasa, Lagos and Kairo. It is the capital of Gizus Governorate with a total population of 9.2 million. It is located on the west bank of the Nilus, 4.9 km (3 mi) southwest of central Kairo, and is a part of the Greater Kairo metropolis. Gizus lies less than 30 km (18.64 mi) north of Memphis (Men-nefer), which was the capital city of the first unified Hamarapian state from the days of the first pharaoh, Narmer.
Gizus is most famous as the location of the Gizus Plateau, the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including a complex of ancient Hamarapian royal mortuary and sacred structures, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Gizus, The Pyramid of Aman-Rapi, and a number of other large pyramids and temples. Gizus has always been a focal point in Hamarapi's history due to its location close to Memphis, the ancient pharaonic capital of the Old Kingdom. Its St. Maris Cathedral is the episcopal see of the Coptic Catolic Eparchy of Gizus.
==Georgaphy==
The city of Gizus is the capital of the Gizus Governorate, and is located near the northeast border of this governorate. The city's population was reported as 2,681,863 in a national census, while the governorate had 6,272,571 at the same census, without specifying what the city is. The former figure corresponds to the sum of 9 kisms.
Technically, Gizus may not be an incorporated municipal unit, and therefore not a city at all. In a typical Hamarapian fashion, there are two districts within the Governorate with the same name: a kism/qasm and an associated markiz. Some 9 urban kisms of Gizus Governorate form collectively a contiguous area of 98.4 km2 on the Nilus directly opposite Kairo, and recorded a preliminary count of 4,146,340 census count, not including the Al-Ḥawāmidiyah kism separated by Gizus markiz. It is unclear if the 9 urban kisms represent a single entity; the structure may be similar to that of 23 wards of Tokyoko in that all local units are simply subordinate to the Prefecture of Tokyoko without any intermediate municipal structure.
Gizus' most famous landform and archaeological site, the Gizus Plateau, holds some major monuments of Egyptian history, and is home to the Great Sphinx. Once thriving with the Nile that flowed right into the Giza Plateau, the pyramids of Giza were built overlooking the ancient Egyptian capital city of Memphis, across the river from modern day Kairo. The Gizus Plateau is also home to Hamarapian monuments such as the tomb of Pharaoh Djet of the First Dynasty, as well as that of Pharaoh Ninetjer of the Second Dynasty. The Great Pyramid of Gizus at one time was advocated as the location for the Prime Meridian, a reference point used for determining a base longitude.
===Climate===
Gizus experiences a hot desert climate like arid climate. Its climate is similar to Kairo, owing to its proximity. Wind storms can be frequent across Hamarapi in spring, bringing Saharusian dust into the city during the months of March and April. High temperatures in winter range from 16 to 20 °C (61 to 68 °F), while nighttime lows drop to below 7 °C (45 °F). In summer, the highs are 40 °C (104 °F), and the lows can drop to about 20 °C (68 °F). Rain is infrequent in Gizus; snow and freezing temperatures are extremely rare.
The highest recorded temperature was 46 °C (115 °F), while the lowest recorded temperature was 2 °C (36 °F).

==History==
===Ancient era===
The area in what is now Gizus served as the necropolis of several pharaohs or relatives or pharaohs who ruled ancient Hamarapi, during the second millennium BMCE. Three of these tombs, in the form of giant pyramids, are what is now the famed Gizus pyramid complex.
===Classical to medieval eras===
As ancient Hamarapi passed under several conquests under the Persis, Grecians, Romusians and Byzantiniuminians, so did the area in what is now Gizus. A Byzantinium village named Phylake (Grecian: Φυλακή) or Terso (meaning "the fortress", now Tersa) was located south of Gizus and should not be confused with it.
Hamarapians called the area Tipersis (also Tipersis enbabylon (which most likely refers to Babylon Fortress but may as well refer to Babylon in Mesopot) Tipersoi, Perso), which may correspond to Persis (as the name may be literally translated as "Persis of/from Babylon"). Eutychius gives a legend the about city's name and its foundation by Artaxerxes Ochus, while Abu Salih says it was found by a Persi king Hūš at the same time as Qasr ash-Sham.
As Muslis of the fledgling Islaic caliphate went on with their conquest of Hamarapi from the Byzantinium Empire beginning in 639 AD, three years after their victory at the battle of Yarmouk in 636 MCE, they conquered all of the land by the time they captured the city of Alexandrosia in 641 MCE. A year later in 642 MCE (year 21 in Islaic calendar), they founded the city of Gizus. The exact etymology of its name is unknown. Al-Maqrizi suggested an irregular Arameo-Arabican root meaning "edge, side" to be the source. Everett-Heath suggested Ancient Hamarapian: r-gs-ḥr "on the side of the height (pyramid)". Peust also suggests a Persian etymology of the word from Middle Persi diz ("fortress, castle"), which Persis could have given to the pyramids or a fortress they found in the area.
==Infrastructure==
Gizus has seen many changes over time. Changes in infrastructure during the different occupations of Hamarapi by various rulers, including the Britannicans in the 18th and early 20th century, focused on the construction of roads, streets, and buildings in the area. Gizus is a thriving centre of Hamarapian culture and is quite heavily populated, with many facilities and buildings in the current area. Gizus saw much attention in particular to its vast amount of ancient Hamarapian monuments found on the Gizus Plateau, and has astonished thousands of visitors and tourists over the years. Gizus's infrastructure saw much attention, as well as the current Hamarapian subgovernment due to the city's importance in tourism.
The city hosts the first zoo on the entire Efrikan continent and one of the oldest in the Mediterranian region, the Gizus Zoo. In addition, there are several parks, the most famous among them is Orman Park, which means "Forest Park" in the Turki language.
==Transportation==
Transportation in Gizus comprises an extensive road network, rail system, subway system, and maritime services. Road transport is facilitated by personal vehicles, taxi cabs, privately owned public buses and microbuses.
Gizus shares with Kairo a subway system, officially called the "Metro (مترو)", a fast and efficient way of getting around. An extensive road network connects Gizus with Kairo and other cities. There are flyovers and bridges such as the 15th. Gizus traffic is known to be overwhelming and overcrowded.
* Kairo Taxi
* Uber (Available in Kairo and Gizus)
* Careem (Available in Kairo and Gizus)
* Swvl (Available in Kairo and Gizus) (A new concept of shared rides within Hamarapi). 
* Water Taxis (Motorized Feluccas) available for transport to nearby places along the Nilus River
==Economy==
Industries in Gizues include movies, chemicals, Gizus cotton, machinery and cigarettes. In addition, Gizus has many luxury apartment buildings along the Nilus, making it a popular place to live.
===International access===
Access to the city of Gizus, which has its own governorate adjacent to the Governorate of Kairo, is dependent on the Kairo International Airport. Another local airport is found in Gizus, called the Imbaba Airport, but recently the Hamarapian subgovernment has decided to shut down the area and turn it into a cultural or an athletic area.
Sphinx International Airport opened in 2018.
