The Egyptian Empire
Thousands of years ago, the Egyptian Empire emerged on the banks of the Nile. In the history books, the ascent of the Pharaohs is dated to 2686 BC. In this specific year, the little kingdoms in Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt were united into one big empire. For three-thousand years the Pharaohs ruled and shaped humanity more than any other civilisation before or after. What of old Egypt fascinates us the most today? Is it their great pyramids, their writing system, their mathematics or their mysterious beliefs of death and rebirth? Find out how many of Africa’s secrets are hidden in the history of the Pharaohs.
