History and specifics[]
When Vosk died in the year 1944, and the timeline was reset, Jonathan Archer saw various historical images, including the pyramids of Egypt, Easter Island, and Stonehenge. (ENT episode: "Storm Front, Part II")
When Q asked Spock for nine reasons to save humanity from an approaching asteroid in 1999, his sixth item was the building of Stonehenge, the Imperial City at Beijing, and the Great Pyramid at Giza. (ST audiobook: Spock vs. Q)
In 2151, Daniels showed Jonathan Archer the Great Pyramid at Giza when it was under construction, as viewed by 28th century time travelers, to help explain the Temporal Accord. (ENT episode: "Cold Front")
In the year 2266, Earth mathematician and pacifist Alfred Bleikoff, who had been cryogenically frozen in the 1990s, was revived aboard the USS Enterprise. He was allowed to tour Earth for five days anonymously before his official reception. James T. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy and Montgomery Scott showed him the Great Pyramid. Bleikoff was amazed that the area around the monument was no longer a desert. They also visited the Eiffel Tower, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, the Statue of Liberty, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, and flew over Mount Everest. (TOS comic: "Prophet of Peace")
In 2267, the Guardian of Forever projected historical images from Earth. The first image was of the Great Pyramid at Giza. (TOS episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever")
In the year 2274, two pyramids were discovered on the surface of Zeta Reticuli II revealing a civilization parallel to that of Ancient Egypt. It even had a statue resembling the Great Sphinx. A temple contained a statue of Khnum, the Egyptian god of creation, and hundreds of mummies in a room enveloped in a powerfield. (TOS comic: "We Are Dying, Egypt, Dying!")
