Ancient Egypt refers to the Civilization that occupied the area around the Nile for thousands of years. Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations on Earth, beaten by the Mesopotamians and, interestingly, seemed to have remained shockingly static for almost all of its existence.
‘Ancient’ Egypt ends, to my knowledge, sometime following Alexander’s conquest. The civilization ended not long afterwards following the Roman conquest. Following that, Egypt first fell to Christianity, then to Islam. The latter also led to Arabization and the near-disappearance of a distinct Egyptian language. Though that language survives in the Coptic Christian^A) community.
Though that isn’t relevant. Ancient Egypt was something that interested me since I was a child because, surprise surprise, my family had an Usborne book about it. I had, unfortunately though, kinda forgotten about Egypt…until more recent events rekindled interest. I think it started with a documentary^B) followed by a re-watch of Prince of Egypt which isn’t really about Egypt, but whatever. From there I decided to look a little more into it. I am currently stuck in that piece of mind where I’m not actively looking into it, however…so that’s where we’ll leave it for now.
