Egyptian Civilization

Egyptian civilization, one of the oldest in history, flourished along the Nile River for over three millennia. Known for its monumental architecture, such as pyramids and temples, it developed advanced mathematics, medicine, and writing (hieroglyphics). Egyptians worshipped a pantheon of gods and believed in an afterlife, which influenced their burial practices. The Pharaoh was both a political and spiritual leader. Trade and agriculture, supported by the Nile's floods, were key to their economy. This civilization's lasting impact can be seen in art, literature, and architecture, influencing cultures for centuries to come.
