The history of Egypt can be traced back to prehistoric times and when the Sahara Desert was formed in around 8000 BC, prompting early civilizations to move closer towards the Nile in order to catch fish and grow crops, but it is Pharaonic Egypt that began some 5,000 years ago that truly captures the imagination of people the world over. Great people from 30 different dynasties, their lives, cultures and phenomenal knowledge of mummification, mathematics and astronomy have created iconic images of an ancient Egypt.
The start of Pharaonic Egypt saw more than 3000 years of remarkable achievements and prosperity, with the pharaohs being the most important people in the land. They created strong government, military and religious structures, held court and ruled the land unquestioned. They were worshipped as if gods and had phenomenal wealth, which they lavished on building temples and other monuments.
