Everyone from the Egyptians to the Romans celebrated some sort of "giving thanks" ritual during the harvest season, in attempts to placate whichever god it was they thought had granted them their annual crops. In fact, even today the U.S. is not the only country to celebrate Thanksgiving. Six countries — Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, Liberia, Japan and South Korea — also celebrate an official "Thanksgiving" holiday.

Historians have traced annual thanksgiving festivals to ancient societies of Egypt, Greece, Rome, and even the earliest North and South American Indian cultures. particularly concerned about Egypt, which has seen a development boom recently. The speed at which properties have appeared is, he claims, a sign that builders aren't following the country's construction laws. Egypt is at the bottom of the scale, not just in implementing seismic codes but basic construction codes. There's little supervision from the authorities.

A advises anyone buying in Egypt to hire a qualified structural engineer or surveyor to examine the plans and construction. At the very least, he says, if you're considering a region prone to earthquakes, buy from a builder with a strong reputation even if it costs more. Implementing the seismic code adds around 20 per cent to the cost of a structure, but maybe buyers need to be willing to pay the extra to ensure their property is built to safe standards.
