    Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization concentrated along the lower Nile River. The pharaohs, or rulers, held both political and religious power as the leaders of Egypt. While some pharaohs like Tutankhamun died young under mysterious circumstances, others led Egypt into war to control foreign lands and acquire their resources. The ancient Egyptians had a stable society and culture that endured for over 3,000 years, though some changes did occur over time, especially at a technological level. Their medical knowledge was based on both myth and an increasing understanding of anatomy. Egyptians believed in many gods and goddesses that played roles in daily life, nature, and the afterlife.

    WHAT IS ANCIENT EGYPT...?

    Ancient Egypt is one of the most fascinating of the ancient civilizations. Even today, the manner in which modern Egypt has melded with the ancient world is positively astounding. One cannot help but notice that the pull of the ancient world is still very much a part of modern cities such as Cairo and Alexandria.

    Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of eastern North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern country of Egypt.

    THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS...!

    Life of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs was filled with power, glory, murder, deceit and mystery. Slip into the world of ancient Egypt where a woman dressed as a man to rule Egypt as pharaoh, then mysteriously disappeared. Boy king was cut down in the prime of life. Since his tomb was first uncovered by Howard Carter in 1922, the world has been curious and in awe of the 'Boy King' who died such a mysterious death at such a young age.

    ABOUT THEM...!

    Around 5000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians established an extraordinary and enduring civilisation. The most powerful person in ancient Egypt was the pharaoh. The pharaoh was the political and religious leader of the Egyptian people, holding the titles: 'Lord of the Two Lands' and 'High Priest of Every Temple'. Many pharaohs went to war when their land was threatened or when they wanted to control foreign lands. If the pharaoh won the battle, the conquered people had to recognise the Egyptian pharaoh as their ruler and offer him the finest and most valuable goods from their land.

    WAY OF LIFE OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN...!

    Ancient Egyptian history is rich in examples of cultural continuity and cultural change. The 3,000 years of history argues for stability of basic economic, religious, social, and political systems. Yet in order for a culture to continue in the face of expansion, trade, invasion, and technological innovation, changes must occur. The ancient Egyptians saw no positive value in cultural change, except at the technological level, and they went to great lengths to prevent disruption in their society. Many of the rituals they performed encouraged continuity with earlier periods of their history that they visualized as ideal.

    ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL HISTORY...!

    The Ancient Egyptians, like the Ancient Greeks and Romans, have provided modern historians with a great deal of knowledge and evidence about their attitude towards medicine and the medical knowledge that they had. This evidence has come from the numerous papyruses found in archaeological searches. Like prehistoric man, some of the beliefs of the Egyptians were based on myths and legend. However, their knowledge was also based on an increasing knowledge of the human anatomy and plain commonsense. In Ancient Egypt, the treatment of illnesses was no longer carried out only by magicians and medicine men.

    GOD AND GODDESS IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN...!

    The ancient Egyptians believed in many different gods and goddesses. Each one with their own role to play in maintaining peace and harmony across the land. Some gods and goddesses took part in creation, some brought the flood every year, some offered protection, and some took care of people after they died. Others were either local gods who represented towns, or minor gods who represented plants or animals. They Egyptians believed that it was important to recognise and worship these gods and goddesses so that life continued smoothly.
