The answer is Egypt

The clues of the riddle clearly point to Egypt through its recognizable historical geography.  “Pyramids” and “pharaohs” evoke the monuments on the Giza plateau and the dynasties that built and used them for monumental tombs.

 The clue about the “Nile” identifies it as the world’s longest river, which provided the floodplain for Egyptian civilization to thrive amid surrounding deserts. 

The clues of “timeless sand” and “desert kingdom” signify the North African Sahara and Egypt’s dry climate. 

Collectively, these clues anchor to a people and nation that shaped early human history through its culture, religion, architecture, and monuments, some of which are still prominent symbols in Egypt and the world today.
