There is a lime stone ridge that runs through Jerusalem. Mt. Moriah where the Jewish temple was built is on this ridge. Out side the walls of Jerusalem in the time of Christ there was another small mountain (Hill) called Mt Calvary. This is where Jesus Christ was crucified. Jerusalem is in Israel so yes Calvary is in Israel.
If the question is trying to tease out whether Calvary is in Israel or the Palestinian Territories, it depends on whose definitions you use. According to Jerusalem Law of 1980 in Israel, the entire city of Jerusalem has been annexed to Israel as one, united capital city. So, since Calvary is in Jerusalem, it is in Israel. The International Community has held that the Jerusalem Law is illegal and has maintained that Eastern Jerusalem is part of the Palestinian Territories. Under this definition, Calvary is in the Palestinian Territories since it is on the far side of the ceasefire-line dividing west from east.
ADDITIONAL: From the beginning of Abraham's relationship with God we see an eternal covenant made by God with Abraham. Part of that covenant was that the land of Canaan was to be a permenant possession of the chosen people, Israel. Down through the centuries Israel has been removed from the land for disobeying God, but that does not negate the promise of God. Israel still has the right to the land. Man made laws are flimsy things when comparred to God's laws and promises. Different countries have claimed israel in the past, but they were only squatters. Man can bring all the arguments he wants to satisfy his desires, but what God says stands. Genesis 13:14-15, " .......Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are---- northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to your descendants forever."

What country did Moses go to after he left Egypt?
Moses left Egypt twice.
-- The first time, as a fugitive wanted for murder, he went to Midian, where he became
a member of the household of Jethro, the priest of Midian.
-- The second time, as the organizer and leader of the mass Exodus of the Hebrew slaves,
the "Children of Israel".
Note: Moses never, in his entire lifetime, set foot in the "Promised Land".
What happened to the economic growth rate in Egypt under Mubarak's presidency?
The Egyptian economy under Mubarak generally grew, but did so at a languishing pace. Additionally, later in his presidency, the cost of essential goods rose precipitously causing riots and other problems that led to the economic decline when he abdicated.
How was the geography of the land around Egypt different nine thousand years ago?
I believe there's reason to believe the area was less arid back then. I believe there are reports of Savanna covering the plains above the Nile. Southern Saudi peninsula is said to have been forested back then as well.
What are the two regions in Egypt?
The two regions of Egypt are called Upper and Lower Egypt!

Cairo is hot and humid (primarily) or hot and dry (occasionally) depending on which way the winds are blowing.
How is irrigation done in egypt?
The first means of irrigation and base for most irrigation used by the egyptians. Along the Nile river there are several naturally formed indentions in the earth. During the annual flood these indentions would fill with water. The egyptians of that time came up with the idea to surround these indentions with mud dams so they would hold the water. Cannals were dug from these basins to the farmers fields. As the technology increased, the basins were surrounded by stone dams to keep more water and keep that water in the basin for longer periods. Later the basins were man made to move them to where they were needed. This method was replaced when the cannal system was devised.

Which Egyptian King was known for his typically feminine features?
Akhenaten was well known for his distinctly feminine appearance. Researchers have speculated he may have suffered from the disorder, Gynecomastia that is brought on by an inherited malady called Aromatase Excess Syndrome. Aromatase causes the release of excess estrogen hormones that result in effeminate characteristics in men.
What is the sphinx in Egypt known as?
No one knows - The word "sphinx", which means 'strangler', was first given by the Greeks to a fabulous creature which had the head of a woman, the body of a lion and the wings of a bird. In Egypt, there are numerous sphinxes, usually with the head of a king wearing his headdress and the body of a lion. See the link below.
What is the difference between ancient Egypt and Egypt?
The simple answer is that it doesn't. However, modern Britain has little in common with ancient Britain either. Of course, both countries claim their respective lands' treasures such as the Sphinx (Egypt) or Stonehenge (Britain). If we contrast Britain with Egypt, the ancient word for a bird trap in Egypt, or skeet, is also the word used in England to describe a clay pigeon shooting range. The English word "south" is the same in ancient Egyptian - sut or sud. Such things are perhaps rare but they do show that ancient Egypt had connections with ancient Britain as the modern nations do. In fact, a century ago, Britain ruled or administered Egypt.
So the answer is not so simple. It might therefore be easier to look at some aspects of modern Egypt that ancient Egypt did not have.
Perhaps the most obvious contrast to compare is the religion of ancient and modern Egypt. Today, Islam, and to a lesser extent some Christianity, is the religion of Egypt. But Islam has only been significant in Egypt for 1400 years since Mohammad. Some Muslims will say that "Islam" means "righteous" so that many Egyptians well before Mohammad were also "righteous" and therefore Islamic. Does that mean the people who worshipped the many gods of ancient Egypt were "righteous"? In ancient Egypt, the sun god Ra was popular but across the Red Sea in Arabia, the moon was a god. That is because the Arabs lived their working lives at night to avoid the heat of the day so they worshipped the moon. But in Egypt, with its mighty river and cool shading trees, the sun was far less harsh and dramatic and much more popular as an object of reverence. Today, the moon is the main symbol on the flags of Muslim countries (but not Egypt's).
Egypt today probably has a much larger proportion of people who are not religious at all as their somewhat neutral flag suggests. The popular uprisings in Egypt stem from the problems of competing philosophical and religious ideas. This is something ancient and modern Egypt probably share.
One of the great philosophical questions facing the Egyptians of 586 BC was the total routing, sacking, razing and near-total depopulation of ancient Israel by Nebuchadnezzar the Chaldean-Babylonian. Many people at the time believed the Seed of the Woman Programme, first announced in the Bible when Adam and Eve received God's prophecy of the outcome of their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, had been abandoned after Israel's demise in 586 BC. The Egyptian king at the time, Merneptah Baenre Meriamun Hotephirmaat, or Pharaoh Hophra of Jeremiah 44:30 in the Bible, recorded on a stone stele, "Israel's Seed is destroyed (or castrated); the Land razed (or shaved) to the ground". After Jesus of Nazareth was born (7-6 BC), many Egyptians repented and believed again in the Promise of the Seed after Jesus' resurrection (30 AD). Thus much of Egypt became Christian between 30-650 AD. Then the Muslims conquered Egypt resulting in many Egyptians turning to Islam because of the corruption in the state church systems of the time. Mohammad's reforms were often preferred over his revised theology. A parallel thing happened after Luther in Europe (1600 AD). But problems do not just exist in religions. The academics in the universities believe Merneptah ruled Egypt in 1210 BC when he was supposed to have written the "Israel" or "Merneptah Stele". This contributor understands the Merneptah Stele is now on prominent display in the Cairo Museum in a similar fashion to the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum near the main entrance (although we stand to be corrected regarding the Cairo museum).
However, that is perhaps the most interesting comparison between ancient and modern Egypt - their policy and attitude towards Israel their neighbour across (as Australians and New Zealanders say) "the ditch" (Reed Sea, Red Sea, Suez Canal). Israel and Egypt, such close neighbours, their histories so closely entwined, according to the Bible. Yet modern historians say the "Merneptah Stele" is the "only" or "first" reference in ancient Egyptian literature to the Jewish nation whose history is so carefully outlined in the Bible. In modern Egypt, Israel is in the news lots of times. Apparently, according to Egyptologists and historians, the opposite was the case. And there lies a big tale. By not knowing what Egypt's history really was, as that conundrum must surely attest, it is almost impossible to answer this question. But it is an important question and if the answer were properly and thoroughly canvassed we might actually learn something. Probably, many people will be rather shocked to say the least.

Cairo is a city, so it does not have a religion.
The people of Cairo are mostly Muslim, but there is a large Coptic Christian minority. Additionally, almost all non-Christian religious minorities in Egypt (such as Jews or Baha'i) are primarily in Cairo, but are a negligible number.
Why is southern Egypt called upper Egypt and northern Egypt as lower Egypt?
Upper Egypt is lower and Lower Egypt is higher because the Nile flows from South to North. The reason for this is because the mountains at upper Egypt, which is at the bottom are tilted and it flows to lower Egypt which is at the top.
What makes the great pyramid in Egypt unusual among the places on Antipater's list?
The only one of those ancient sights that remains today is the Great Pyramid in Egypt.
This is either a very simple, or very big question. Simply put, "Egyptian culture" is the culture of the country and people of Egypt.
If you mean "What are some elements of Egyptian culture?", that is much more complex.
