Egyptian Empire

The Egyptian Empire was an ancient civilization along the Nile River, known for its remarkable achievements in art, architecture, and governance. It spanned from around 3100 BCE, when the first Pharaohs unified upper and lower Egypt, until its conquest by outside empires in the late centuries BCE. The Egyptians built iconic structures like the pyramids, developed a complex writing system called hieroglyphics, and practiced a religion centered on gods and the afterlife. Their society was highly organized, with a strong central authority that supported advancements in science, medicine, and culture, leaving a lasting legacy that influences the world today.
