Ancient Egypt was a very advanced civilization. Located in the eastern part of North Africa and around the Nile River. The civilization began around 3150 BC and lasted for the next three millennia. It reached pinnacle during the New Kingdom which is when the pharaohs began a large-scale building campaign to promote the god Amun whose growing cult was based in Karnak. They also build monuments glorifying their own achievements, both real and imagined. After the New Kingdom, Egypt entered a slow decline. Egypt was conquered and made into a Roman province.
