Description

Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient North Africa,concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River, situated inthe place that is now the country Egypt. Ancient Egyptiancivilization followed prehistoric Egypt and coalesced around 3100BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with thepolitical unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Menes (oftenidentified with Narmer). The history of ancient Egypt occurred as aseries of stable kingdoms, separated by periods of relativeinstability known as Intermediate Periods: the Old Kingdom of theEarly Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age andthe New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age. Egypt reached the pinnacleof its power in the New Kingdom, ruling much of Nubia and a sizableportion of the Near East, after which it entered a period of slowdecline. During the course of its history Egypt was invaded orconquered by a number of foreign powers, including the Hyksos, theLibyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, the Achaemenid Persians, andthe Macedonians under the command of Alexander the Great. The GreekPtolemaic Kingdom, formed in the aftermath of Alexander's death,ruled Egypt until 30 BC, when, under Cleopatra, it fell to theRoman Empire and became a Roman province. The success of ancientEgyptian civilization came partly from its ability to adapt to theconditions of the Nile River valley for agriculture. Thepredictable flooding and controlled irrigation of the fertilevalley produced surplus crops, which supported a more densepopulation, and social development and culture. With resources tospare, the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of thevalley and surrounding desert regions, the early development of anindependent writing system, the organization of collectiveconstruction and agricultural projects, trade with surroundingregions, and a military intended to assert Egyptian dominance.Motivating and organizing these activities was a bureaucracy ofelite scribes, religious leaders, and administrators under thecontrol of a pharaoh, who ensured the cooperation and unity of theEgyptian people in the context of an elaborate system of religiousbeliefs. The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians include thequarrying, surveying and construction techniques that supported thebuilding of monumental pyramids, temples, and obelisks; a system ofmathematics, a practical and effective system of medicine,irrigation systems and agricultural production techniques, thefirst known planked boats, Egyptian faience and glass technology,new forms of literature, and the earliest known peace treaty, madewith the Hittites. Ancient Egypt has left a lasting legacy. Its artand architecture were widely copied, and its antiquities carriedoff to far corners of the world. Its monumental ruins have inspiredthe imaginations of travelers and writers for centuries. Anew-found respect for antiquities and excavations in the earlymodern period by Europeans and Egyptians led to the scientificinvestigation of Egyptian civilization and a greater appreciationof its cultural legacy.
