Ancient Egypt from pharaoh to present day egypt(Ancient civilization)

Egyptian civilization, one of the oldest in the world, has a history that spans over 5,000 years. It began with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt around 3100 BCE under King Menes, leading to the rise of a powerful and centralized state. The Old Kingdom, often called the "Age of the Pyramids," saw the construction of the iconic Great Pyramid of Giza. Egypt flourished through periods of greatness, such as the Middle Kingdom and New Kingdom, marked by expansion and monumental achievements under pharaohs like Ramses II and Thutmose III. However, it also faced invasions and internal strife, from the Hyksos to the Romans. In later years, Egypt became part of the Roman Empire, followed by the Islamic conquest in 641 CE, which reshaped its culture and religion. Egypt came under Ottoman control and later British colonization before gaining independence in the 20th century. Today, Egypt stands as a dynamic country, blending its ancient heritage with modern influences, playing a vital role in global affairs. #egypt #pharoah #Civilization #ramsees #Civilization #18th dynasties #river nile #pyramid of giza #cairo
