Ancient Egypt Time Line

Archaic (Early Dynastic) Period (c. 3100-2686 B.C.) King Menes founded the capital of ancient Egypt at White Walls (later known as Memphis), in the north, near the apex of the Nile River delta. The capital would grow into a great metropolis that dominated Egyptian society during the Old Kingdom period.

AFRICA

4. Where (place) is your section focused?

Egypt covers an area of approximately 1,001,450 sq. km (386,662 sq. mi) in northeastern Africa, its northern coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, and its eastern coastline along the Red Sea. Libya shares its western border and Sudan its southern border.

Egypt is overwhelmingly a desert country bisected by the River Nile. Over 90% of the land area is formed by a convergence of deserts -- the Libyan Desert to the west, the Sahara and Nubian Deserts to the south and the Arabian Desert to the east. There are oases scattered across this wasteland and a swathe of land along the Suez Canal which is cultivated, but it is mainly the land fed by the River Nile -- the Nile valley and the Nile Delta -- that is both habitable and arable.Slide5

Egypt… it’s Important

5. Why are these events important to your study of World History?

The American political and foreign policy establishment, as well as the media mainstream, tends to view Egypt through the lens of the 1960s and ’70s. Back then, Egypt was the fulcrum of the Arab world, unarguably its most important country. It was the source of the region’s most compelling postcolonial political idea: Nasserism. Cairo was the cultural center of the Arab peoples, the source of great cinema, TV, music, art, literature. It had a vibrant media scene.

Although it lacked the natural resources of a Saudi Arabia or an Iraq, Egypt had, relative to those countries, an abundance of intellectual capital: it was the center for learning, with the region’s best universities, both secular and religious. Its labor force was coveted by the newly wealthy Gulf states.

All that and, crucially from the U.S. point of view, Egypt was a threat to Israel

.

Egypt today is none of those things, and for two reasons: the Middle East has changed, and Egypt has not.

Cairo is no longer the region’s cultural heart: Egypt doesn’t produce great art, music or literature. Arab TV audiences are much more likely now to be watching Turkish soap operas, Lebanese music videos and Qatari satellite news channels. Egyptian universities are now laughably bad, and the Gulf states prefer Indian, Pakistani and Filipino labor to Egyptian. Egypt’s media scene is a regional joke.Slide6

dynasties

•Ptolemy X, king of ancient Egypt (80 B.C.), of the Macedonian dynasty•Cleopatra, queen of Egypt (69–30 B.C.)

2. Describe their growth and

location-

- Egypt's location at the edges of Africa, Europe, and Asia have been a significant part of the nation's long history, and have made it an important world power. Egypt is considered part of the Middle East as well as the Arab world, both culturally and politically.

The country of Egypt is in the Africa continent and the latitude and longitude for the country are 28.8013° N, 31.1711° E
