About History of Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient Northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern country of Egypt. It is one of six civilizations globally to arise independently. Egyptian civilization coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. The history of ancient Egypt occurred in 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 during the New Kingdom, in the Ramesside period where it rivalled the Hittite Empire, Assyrian Empire and Mitanni Empire, after which it entered a period of slow decline. Egypt was invaded or conquered by a succession of foreign powers, such as the Canaanites/Hyksos, Libyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, Babylonians, the Achaemenid Persians, and the Macedonians in the Third Intermediate Period and the Late Period of Egypt. In the aftermath of Alexander the Great's death, one of his generals, Ptolemy Soter, established himself as the new ruler of Egypt. This Greek Ptolemaic Kingdom 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 defeat foreign enemies and 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 Egyptian people are North-Africans NOT Arabs and they were conquered by Muslim rule who spread a new faith and managed to spread Arabic language of Quran to Arabize the majority of the nation at that time which was about 5 millions & managed to convert them to Islam (same happened with Egypt's berber neighbours too), even the Egyptian Arabic dialect which is spoken by both Muslims & Christians in Egypt, is based upon pure Coptic Grammar and having hundreds of Ancient words, and actually no one speakes the Coptic language within Egypt anymore and the word Copt only refers to Egyptians who rejected Islam and still follows coptic christianity sect and faith. National Geographic geno scientific tests proved that Egyptians are super majority of 68% North-Africans, 3% East Africans, 4% Jewish, 3% South-European, 17% Arabia, 3% minor asia. And don't forget that Egypt is TRANSCONTINENTAL with about 10% of its lands located in Asia (the % was even bigger at the Egyptian Kingdom).
