"In other words, the unified state of ancient Egypt appeared in 3100 BC. This is currently the earliest unified state in human civilization with evidence."

[Damn it, wasn’t the Qin Dynasty the earliest unified dynasty? 】

[That was the earliest unified dynasty in China, not the earliest in the world]

[Egypt seems to be a thousand years earlier, I remember]

【Are you so cunning?】

[However, unification does not mean that culture is developed. To really look at civilization, it must be our Chinese, authentic ancient dynasty]

[Indeed, ancient Egypt and current Egypt are not the same thing, they just have the same name]

"Among the ancient emperors who have left a great name today, Menes of ancient Egypt is probably the earliest one."

"The status is equivalent to Qin Shihuang, the founder of the first dynasty of ancient Egypt and the founder of the national unity of ancient Egypt."

The First Dynasty spanned from 3200 BC to 2850 BC.

The territory of the First Dynasty of Egypt was closely distributed in the narrow strip around the Nile River. The ancient Egyptians achieved great success in agricultural production by managing and controlling the annual flooding of the Nile River.

During the ancient Egyptian civilization of more than 3,000 years, they built huge pyramids, temples, and obelisks, and created the most advanced medical system in the world at that time.

"In the ancient Egyptian country, the supreme ruler was called the Pharaoh, and the Pharaoh was regarded as the son of the sun god and possessed supreme power and status."

"Under the Pharaoh there is the prime minister, visiir in Arabic, and in addition there are ministers. The prime minister and ministers are in charge of state affairs, but the decision-making power belongs to the pharaoh."

"The supreme military commander of the ancient Egyptian state was also the pharaoh, and the pharaoh could complete his rule over the country through the local governor Nomarkh."

"The governor can be hereditary, but the pharaoh must have the final say."

"As a symbol of this supreme authority, the Pharaoh had great prestige in the ancient Egyptian state. Even later subjects could only kiss the soil at the Pharaoh's feet. It would be a great honor for the nobles to be allowed to kiss the Pharaoh's feet.

【A day of learning history】

"Ancient Egypt during the Old Kingdom was peaceful and peaceful, and it did not invade and invade from the outside world. Because it had fertile land, its subjects were content to enjoy their own land."

"This period of peace and prosperity lasted for nearly 1,000 years. In 2181 BC, the Old Kingdom period came to an end and entered the First Intermediate Period."

"The main reasons include social conflicts caused by egoism and the overburden of the people, coupled with the invasion of tribes outside the desert at that time, which caused the ancient Egyptian civilization to enter an intermediate period of relative war and chaos."

"Finally, the Eleventh Dynasty rose, unified the ancient Egyptian kingdom again, and entered the Middle Dynasty period."

"But the good times did not last long. With the end of the Twelfth Dynasty, the ancient Egypt once again fell into a situation of internal strife and external bullying. This period is considered the Second Intermediate Period."

"According to research, the main reason for its occurrence was the rebellion of the out-of-power nobles, which resulted in the Pharaoh's power being weakened again."

"Coupled with the invasion of nomadic peoples from West Asia at that time, the ancient Egypt was severely suppressed, and was even later invaded by the Hyksos, the herdsmen kings, who established their rule in the ancient Egypt."

[Good guy, the middle period is full of wars, right?]

[It’s so complicated, I can’t even tell the difference between these races]

"That's understandable."

Bi Fang directly affirmed this statement.

In the middle period, unification was impossible due to chaos.

"There's a lot of history ahead, including the New Dynasty period when the Egyptians took back the land."

"The last pharaoh of this period was Ramses III, and most of the subsequent pharaohs' successors were inactive people."

"In the 12th century BC, the national power of ancient Egypt was greatly reduced, and surrounding barbarians took advantage of the situation to invade. Finally, during the invasion of Libyans and Nubians, the ancient Egyptian civilization continued to decline."

"In the 10th century BC, the Libyans seized the Pharaoh's throne, and then in 670 BC, the ancient Egyptian kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians."

"But the Assyrian rule only lasted eight years. In 662 BC, ancient Egypt was revitalized and its culture developed rapidly."

"In 525 BC, the Persian Empire invaded and occupied the ancient Egyptian country. After that, the ancient Egyptian civilization was severely damaged and never recovered."

“Although Egypt entered the Ptolemaic dynasty around 332 BC and its culture entered a glorious level, it is a pity that the ancient Egyptian culture at that time was severely Hellenized, and the ancient Egyptian civilization was lost in the course of history.

"

After hearing this story, many viewers couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It was as if I saw a glorious ancient civilization submerged in the torrent of history.

"However, although ancient Egypt is gone, many traces of their civilization still remain."

"It is impossible not to see the pyramid as its symbol."

Bi Fang looked at the sky full of yellow sand, expecting in his heart.

pyramid.

It will be the final check-in point of this journey.
