Also, the distinguished geographical location and the ambitions of other powers in ruling Egypt have left an impact on the culture of Egyptians throughout the ages.
it also left us a treasure of civilization, rich in diversity.
Pharaonic era
Since the dawn of history, the Egyptian people settled in that narrow space around the Nile, and before the first ancient state was established, the features of civilization were forming on the banks of the Nile River.
Egyptologists divide the Egyptian Pharaonic state into three periods: the Old, Middle and Modern Kingdom. And each of them has its own characteristics and features that differ from other periods.
This is evident in the monuments and their nature, the quality of the items, and the jewellery, even the architectural styles of houses and temples.
Pharaonic manuscripts, papyri, motifs, and inscriptions reveal many of the tales and secrets of ancient Egypt.
The Greek and Roman era
after the end of the pharaonic period , Egypt became a Greek state when Alexander the great invaded it , and built Alexandria the historical city facing the mediterranian sea , and then Egypt became part of the Roman imperor after the death of Queen Cleopatra the seventh.
Coptic Christianity and Islamic time
And when Christianity began to spread, it left its great impact on Egypt, and we cannot forget the path of the Holy Family, and many churches and monasteries in different regions of Egypt, whose effects remain to this day.
With the Islamic conquest of Egypt, the monuments also varied, as Fatimid Egypt differs from Egypt under Ottoman rule, and naturally differs from Egypt after the end of the rule of the Muhammad Ali Royal family.
A tracer in the history of the Egyptian civilization until now is a reflection of the development that many peoples have gone through around the world.
