Ancient Egypt
Ancient
Egypt was a civilization in ancient Northeast Africa, situated in the
Egyptian Nile Valley in the country Egypt. Ancient Egyptian civilization
followed prehistoric Egypt and coalesced around 3100 BC (according to
conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of
Upper and Lower Egypt under Menes (often identified with Narmer). The
history of ancient Egypt occurred as a series of stable kingdoms,
separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate
Periods: the Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of
the Middle Bronze Age and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age.
Egypt reached the pinnacle of its power in the New Kingdom, ruling much
of Nubia and a sizable portion of the Near East, after which it entered
a period of slow decline. During the course of its history Egypt was
invaded or conquered by a number of foreign powers, including the Hyksos,
the Libyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, the Achaemenid Persians, and
the Macedonians under the command of Alexander the Great. The Greek
Ptolemaic Kingdom, formed in the aftermath of Alexander's death, ruled
Egypt until 30 BC, when, under Cleopatra, it fell to the Roman Empire
and became a Roman province.
The success of ancient Egyptian civilization came partly from its
ability to adapt to the conditions of the Nile River valley for
agriculture. The predictable flooding and controlled irrigation of the
fertile valley produced surplus crops, which supported a more dense
population, and social development and culture. With resources to spare,
the administration sponsored mineral exploitation of the valley and
surrounding desert regions, the early development of an independent
writing system, the organization of collective construction and
agricultural projects, trade with surrounding regions, and a military
intended to assert Egyptian dominance. Motivating and organizing these
activities was a bureaucracy of elite scribes, religious leaders, and
administrators under the control of a pharaoh, who ensured the
cooperation and unity of the Egyptian people in the context of an
elaborate system of religious beliefs.
The many achievements of the ancient Egyptians include the quarrying,
surveying and construction techniques that supported the building of
monumental pyramids, temples, and obelisks; a system of mathematics, a
practical and effective system of medicine, irrigation systems and
agricultural production techniques, the first known planked boats,
Egyptian faience and glass technology, new forms of literature, and the
earliest known peace treaty, made with the Hittites. Ancient Egypt has
left a lasting legacy. Its art and architecture were widely copied, and
its antiquities carried off to far corners of the world. Its monumental
ruins have inspired the imaginations of travelers and writers for
millennia. A newfound respect for antiquities and excavations in the
early modern period by Europeans and Egyptians led to the scientific
investigation of Egyptian civilization and a greater appreciation of its
cultural legacy.
