EGYPT:
(3000-1200
BC)
Ancient
Egypt
refers
to
the
people
and
area
surrounding
the
Nile
River
in
Africa.
This
period
of
history
called
Ancient
Egypt
extends
beyond
the
3000
BC-1200
BC
era,
but
for
this
section
we
will
be
covering
only
this
time.
During
this
time
period,
Ancient
Egypt
saw
the
rise
of
the
Early
Dynastic
Period
to
the
fall
of
the
New
Kingdom.
Many
things
happened
during
those
times,
such
as
the
creation
of
the
pyramids,
the
creation
of
paper,
and
the
growth
of
a
writing
system
called
hieroglyphics.
Ancient
Egyptians
were
very
advanced
in
their
architecture
and
societal
structure.
Pharaohs,
or
the
kings
of
Egypt,
played
a
huge
role
in
the
civilizations
of
Egypt.
While
the
Pharaoh
was
important
for
his
rule
over
the
land,
he
was
also
considered
a
god
and
was
worshipped
as
so.
Pharaohs
saw
the
down
side
of
this
as
well;
if
anything
disastrous
took
place
he
was
held
responsible.

Society
in
Ancient
Egypt
was
represented
by
classes,
and
social
stratification
was
apparent.
Most
citizens
were
divided
by
their
trades
or
what
they
gave
to
the
cities.
The
nobility
in
Ancient
Egypt
consisted
mainly
of
priests
while
the
lower
classes
were
representative
of
slaves
and
outcasts.
