Ancient Egypt, emerged around 3100 BCE along the fertile Nile River
Where the predictable flooding allowed for agricultural prosperity. The civilization is known for its dynastic periods, marked by the reigns of powerful pharaohs, who were seen as divine rulers, and the construction of monumental structures like the pyramids and temples. Ancient Egypt thrived for over 3,000 years, contributing immensely to art, science, medicine, and writing, most notably through hieroglyphs. The civilization experienced periods of unity and fragmentation, including the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms, with its peak during the reign of figures like Ramses Il and Queen Hatshepsut. Eventually, Egypt fell under the control of foreign powers, including the Assyrians, Persians, and Greeks, until it was annexed by Rome in 30 BCE after the death of Cleopatra
