Ancient Egypt Time Line Archaic (Early Dynastic) Period (c.
3100-2686 B.C.) King Menes founded the capital of ancient Egypt at
White Walls (later known as Memphis), in the north, near the apex
of the Nile River delta. The capital would grow into a great
metropolis that dominated Egyptian society during the Old Kingdom
period. 3. What time period does your section highlight
Slide 4
AFRICA 4. Where (place) is your section focused? Egypt covers
an area of approximately 1,001,450 sq. km (386,662 sq. mi) in
northeastern Africa, its northern coastline along the Mediterranean
Sea, and its eastern coastline along the Red Sea. Libya shares its
western border and Sudan its southern border. Egypt is
overwhelmingly a desert country bisected by the River Nile. Over
90% of the land area is formed by a convergence of deserts -- the
Libyan Desert to the west, the Sahara and Nubian Deserts to the
south and the Arabian Desert to the east. There are oases scattered
across this wasteland and a swathe of land along the Suez Canal
which is cultivated, but it is mainly the land fed by the River
Nile -- the Nile valley and the Nile Delta -- that is both
habitable and arable.

Egypt its Important 5. Why are these events important to your
study of World History? The American political and foreign policy
establishment, as well as the media mainstream, tends to view Egypt
through the lens of the 1960s and 70s. Back then, Egypt was the
fulcrum of the Arab world, unarguably its most important country.
It was the source of the regions most compelling postcolonial
political idea: Nasserism. Cairo was the cultural center of the
Arab peoples, the source of great cinema, TV, music, art,
literature. It had a vibrant media scene. Although it lacked the
natural resources of a Saudi Arabia or an Iraq, Egypt had, relative
to those countries, an abundance of intellectual capital: it was
the center for learning, with the regions best universities, both
secular and religious. Its labor force was coveted by the newly
wealthy Gulf states. All that and, crucially from the U.S. point of
view, Egypt was a threat to Israel. Egypt today is none of those
things, and for two reasons: the Middle East has changed, and Egypt
has not. Cairo is no longer the regions cultural heart: Egypt
doesnt produce great art, music or literature. Arab TV audiences
are much more likely now to be watching Turkish soap operas,
Lebanese music videos and Qatari satellite news channels. Egyptian
universities are now laughably bad, and the Gulf states prefer
Indian, Pakistani and Filipino labor to Egyptian. Egypts media
scene is a regional joke.
