Egyptian Pharaohs enjoyed a dual nature of being both human and divine. The society had a social model based on the caste system. And the pyramids embodied the architectural grandeur of eternity of both life on earth and the afterlife. Egyptians developed science and were artistically gifted, and there existed many prominent aesthetic structures. Many civilizations are indebted to Egypt for its agricultural accomplishments, discoveries in the field of medicine, and in science. Egypt is also known for its wall paintings, classical literature, and philosophy.
All these achievements came from communities on the banks of the River Nile, the cradle of Egypt’s civilization. Its beginnings stretched from the 1st to the 8th Dynasty when the first pyramids arose on the horizon. From the 9th to the 12th Dynasty when there was conflict between Upper and Lower Egypt. From the 13th Dynasty to decadence after a wave of invasions that occurred before the Roman conquest. ( )
