Egypt:
Egypt ** was an ancient civilization of eastern North Africa, based along the lower parts of the Nile river. The civilization started around 3150 BC with the decision of making an Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharos, and it developed over the next three millennia. Ancient Egypt reached its peak during the New kingdoms, after which it just started to go downhill. Egypt was conquered by quite a few foreign countries in this late period. The rule of the pharaohs officially ended in 31 BC when Egypt fell to the Roman empire. **

Why should I care?
Egypt happens to be really important to todays civilizations. A large number of household objects were invented or used by the ancient Egyptians, including lock and keys, combs, scissors, wigs, makeup, deodorants, toothbrush and toothpaste. They were a huge stepping stone in the way we live today.
