Ancient Egypt, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Nile in northeast Africa. Ancient Egyptian civilization was formed about 6000 years ago (4000 years ago). The former dynasty of ancient Egypt began about 5 100 years ago (the first 3 100 years ago), menes unified and went up and down to Egypt to establish the first dynasty, and it ended in 30 BC when Rome conquered the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt.

Egypt has a long history. It is one of the four ancient civilizations in the world. The history of Egypt is marked by Napoleon's invasion in 1798, which can be roughly divided into two stages: ancient medieval and modern.

Extended data:

Ancient Egypt was located in the northeast of Africa (present-day Middle East), originally in the Nile valley, and did not reach the territory of present-day Egypt until its national strength became strong. It borders the Mediterranean Sea in the north, the Red Sea in the east and Nubia (now Ethiopia and Sudan) in the south.

Geographically speaking, both sides of Egypt are deserts, and there are several large shoals in the south, so it is difficult to communicate with the outside world. Only through the Sinai Peninsula in the northeast can we communicate with West Asia more conveniently. Therefore, ancient Egypt was isolated. The Nile runs through Egypt and is formed by the confluence of the White Nile originating in Central Africa and the Blue Nile originating in Sudan.

The Nile, which flows through forests and grasslands, floods regularly from July to June and165438+1October every year to irrigate the dry land on both sides. Sediment containing a lot of minerals and humus flows down the river and gradually deposits on both banks, becoming fertile black soil. The ancient Egyptians therefore called their country "Kemet" (meaning black land.
