CULTURE

The magnitude of Egyptian civilization is far greater than all the works of art displayed in museums. Even if we collected all the objects scattered around the world, we would not be able to find a solution regarding the great mysteries hidden in the sands of time.

It is precisely these mysteries that fascinate and lead thousands of Egyptologists and Archaeologists to dedicate their lives to exploring and studying, all of them conscious and aware, that they are just a tiny grain in the infinite universe that separates Egyptian civilization from the age of technology.

Even today, in the year 2022, we still don't know how the pyramids were built, how mummification was practiced, and other enigmas. There are several hypotheses, but none of them have yet been proven.

The first testimonials of this civilization date back to approximately 3100 BC when Nemes (also known as Narmer) managed, after great struggles, to unify the Basin and Upper Egypt into one kingdom. He is considered the first Pharaoh of the first of thirty dynasties of that civilization.

After unification, Egyptian history became divided into distinct periods.

• The Archaic Period: from 3100 to 2700 BC.
• The Old Empire: from 2700 to 2200 BC.
• The First Intermediate Period: from 2200 to 2000 BC.
• The Middle Empire: from 2000 to 1710 BC.
• The Second Intermediate Period: from 1710 to 1550 BC.
• The New Empire: from 1550 to 1069 BC.
• The Third Intermediate Period: from 1069 to 664 BC.
• The Low Season: from 664 to 323 BC.
• 332 BC – Arrival of Alexander the Great in Egypt.
• The Ptolemaic period: from 332 to 30 BC.
