Ancient Egypt
Ancient Egypt was a civilization of northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River. It emerged around 3100 BCE with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. Known for its hieroglyphic writing, monumental architecture like pyramids, and advances in mathematics, medicine, and governance, Ancient Egypt thrived for over three millennia. Its society was highly stratified and deeply religious, centering on gods, goddesses, and the afterlife. Egyptian civilization significantly influenced later Greek and Roman cultures.
