Was an ancient civilization of Northeastern Africa,concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in
what is now the modern country of Egypt.
The history of ancient Egypt occurred in a series of stable
Kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known
as Intermediate Periods: the Old Kingdom of the Early
Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age
and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age. Egypt
reached the pinnacle of its power during the New Kingdom,
in the Ramesside period, after which it entered a period of
slow decline.

Egypt is rich in building and decorativestone, copper and lead ores, gold, andsemiprecious stones. These naturalresources allowed the ancient Egyptiansto build monuments, sculpt statues, make
tools, and fashion jewelry. Embalmersused salts from the Wadi Natrun formummification, which also provided thegypsum needed to make plaster. Ore-
bearing rock formations were found indistant, inhospitable wadis in the easterndesert and the Sinai, requiring large, state-controlled expeditions to obtain naturalresources found there.

Ancient Egyptian was a synthetic language, but it becamemore analytic later on. Late Egyptian develops prefixaldefinite and indefinite articles, which replace the older
inflectional suffixes. There is a change from the olderverbsubjectobject word order to subjectverbobject.The Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic, and demotic scriptswere eventually replaced by the more phonetic Coptic
alphabet. Coptic is still used in the liturgy of the EgyptianOrthodox Church, and traces of it are found in modernEgyptian Arabic.

The Egyptians believed that everyhuman being was composed of
physical and spiritual parts oraspects. In addition to the body,each person had a wt (shadow), aba (personality or soul), a ka (life-force), and a name. The heart,rather than the brain, wasconsidered the seat of thoughtsand emotions. After death, thespiritual aspects were released
from the body and could move atwill, but they required the physicalremains (or a substitute, such as astatue) as a permanent home.
