Ancient
Egypt history One can observe rather that broad principles are maintained throughout the
history of Egypt. There has always been a strong central power in the person of
Pharaoh. When it became low on attending to crises like the first interim period
to the death of Pepi II rife multiple families. The system where all powers were
held by the Pharaoh changed. It is complex in a large hotel. Under Senusret III,
the function of the vizier was split to ensure better management. But throughout
this pharaonic time, the institution was maintained even when foreign rulers.
This in effect gave legitimacy to the government. It is no coincidence that the
Hyksos, Persians, Alexander the Great, and his generals did appoint a Greek
pharaoh. The fact follows the ancient custom gave them legitimacy compared to
Egyptians. The same idea applies to all dynasties from Egypt, according to
Pharaoh refers to a dominant symbol. Indeed dynasties are not followed by
descent. The state of the pharaoh is known to reduce this gap family. Thus
Ramses I, before being crowned was a general and viceroy. But perhaps this unit
in the design of power would not have lasted as much if the function of Pharaoh
did not refer to a spiritual ideal. The pharaoh is a link between the earthly
and the divine. Its function is not limited to time, it is the first priest of
Egypt. Of course, historically, it is not so simple. So you could see the break
during Marianne or the gradual assumption of power over the centuries by the
clergy of Amun. But for the Pharaohs with real power, their functions were the
guardians of the divine. Again this a kind of legitimacy daily life of ancient
Egyptians is relatively well-known compared to that of other ancient
civilizations.
Ancient Egypt history
Ancient Egypt history Egyptian society was very
hierarchical and there were great disparities between the lives
of peasants, representing the vast majority of Egyptians living
in a state of near serfdom, and the nobility and Haute
bourgeoisie. That's the life of the privileged who is best known
because it has left the most evidence, including the pharaohs
and other important dignitaries. Geography The geography of
ancient Egypt, from a climatic point of view, is quite close to
that of contemporary Egypt. Egypt is a country in the
semi-desert which only the fertile strip on either side of the
Nile Delta and a few scattered oases, are fit for human
settlement. The rest is covered by the Desert in the west, the
Arabian desert to the east, and the Sinai to the northeast.
Borders traditional of ancient Egypt are quite similar to the
borders of modern Egypt. Thus, in the Old Empire, the country is
bounded on the north by the Mediterranean, south of the first
cataract of the Nile, west of the Desert, and east by the desert
of Nubia, the Red Sea, and the Gaza region. People The origin of
the first Egyptian debate, many theories have been advanced in
this regard (Eastern sub-Saharan Africa, etc.) |
