"The
body is the house of God. That is why it is said, "Man know thyself." Ancient Egyptian Proverb
Ancient Egypt
3100 BC-30 BC
"Ancient Egypt was an
ancient
civilization of eastern
North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of
the
Nile River in what is now the modern state of
Egypt. The civilization coalesced around 3150 BC[1]
with the political unification of
Upper and Lower Egypt under the first
pharaoh, and it developed over the next three millennia.[2]
Its
history occurred in a series of comparatively stable
periods, labeled by scholars today as Kingdoms,
separated by periods of relative instability known as
Intermediate Periods. Ancient Egypt reached its pinnacle
during what is today called the
New Kingdom, after which it entered a period of slow,
steady decline. Egypt was conquered by a succession of
foreign powers in this late period, and the rule of the
pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when the early
Roman Empire conquered Egypt and made it
a province."
