Ancient Egyptians

Ancient Egyptians were a civilization that thrived along the Nile River in northeastern Africa for thousands of years, from around 3100 BC to 30 BC. They are known for their remarkable achievements in architecture, art, and writing, including the construction of pyramids and temples. Their society was organized around a strong central government led by pharaohs, believed to be divine rulers. Ancient Egyptians developed advanced agricultural techniques, a complex religious system with many gods, and a system of hieroglyphics for writing. Their contributions to mathematics, medicine, and culture have had a lasting impact on human history.
