Thousands of Years of Culture: History of Egypt
Egypt, one of the major countries in the Mediterranean basin, has been home to great civilizations throughout its history. With the fertile soil of the Nile River, a favorable climate for agriculture, and rich natural resources, Egypt has always played an important role in human history. A rich culture that grew in these fertile lands and was fed by neighboring societies for thousands of years makes Egypt unique in the world.
The history of Egypt, which has seen countless civilizations since ancient Egypt, is usually dated to 3050 BC. This date, when Lower and Upper Egypt merged under the rule of the first Pharaoh, is the first step in a seven-thousand-year journey of civilization. During this journey, Egypt has been under Persian, Roman, Ottoman, and British rule, but has always maintained its unique structure.
Egyptian history holds many mysteries, from the construction of the pyramids to the tombs of the pharaohs. So much so that Napoleon Bonaparte took many scientists to Egypt with his army and asked them to discover the secrets of Egypt. All these mysteries have always made Egypt a center of attraction for both scientists and tourists.
