Ancient Egyptian Empire

Egypt has one of the longest histories of any nation in the world. Written history of Egypt dates back to about 5,000 years, the commencement of civilization. While there is divergence in relation to Early Egyptian times, it is said that Egypt came to be around 3200 B.C., during the reign of a king by the name of Menes and unified the northern and southern cities of Egypt into one government. In 1675 B.C., Egypt was invaded by the Hyksos, people from the east, bringing along the very first of chariots and horses ever to come across Egyptian soil.

The Ancient Egyptian society’s beliefs based their religion on polytheism which is defined as multiple ‘gods’ which were in charge of an area of life. There were up to 2,000 ‘gods and goddesses’ which controlled every aspect of the Egyptians lives.

There are very few civilizations whose collapse can be easily theorized. Lack of evidence and trending arguments provide bias perceptions for most research. Examination of the suggested collapse during Egypt’s New Kingdom is also plagued with predispositions and altering theories. Some arguments blame an adulteration of morals leading to the decline of complex traditional and religious beliefs.
