F = Fellahin - Plural for an Egyptian peasant

G = Giza's most famous archeological site, the Giza Plateau, holds some of the most astonishing monuments in Egyptian history. Once thriving with the Nile that flowed right into the Giza Plateau, the Pyramids of Giza were built overlooking the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis, which was near modern day Cairo during the time of construction.

K = Khufu (in Greek known as Cheops) was a Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt's Old Kingdom. He reigned from around 2589 BC to 2566 BC. Khufu was the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty. He is generally accepted as being the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing.

L = Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the River Nile in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes).

V = The Vizier (ancient Egyptian: tjaty) controlled the taxation system through the departments of state.

W = Westcar Papyrus is a fragmentary text about Khufu, a 4th dynasty Egyptian pharaoh, and contains a cycle of five stories about marvels performed by priests. Each of these tales is being told at the court of Khufu by his sons.

Y = Yam - land believed located south of Nubia

Z = ZODIAC - The Babylonian and Greek signs of the zodiac were introduced into Egypt in the Greco-Roman Period. They were adapted into Egyptian imagery and used to decorate ceilings of tombs and temples, and coffin lids.http://www.egyptartsite.com/glossary.html#z

I hope this helps.
