which corresponds geographically pretty closely

to the modern day state of Egypt in northeast Africa.

Now the central feature in both ancient Egypt

And the Nile River is one of the great rivers of the world.

It rivals the Amazon River as the longest river

and it sources the tributaries of the Nile Rover

and eventually its delta reaches the Mediterranean Sea.

The delta, which is where a river opens into the sea,

is called a delta because, as you can see, these rivers,

and you have this upside down triangular region,

so that's why river delta is called that.

And this one just happens to be upside down.

So the Nile River, it flows from, you could say,

eastern mid-Africa up into the Mediterranean Sea

the southern parts of the river are upriver

and they are actually called the Upper Nile.

The Upper Nile is actually south of the Lower Nile,

And once again, that's because the Upper Nile is up river,

So as you go south, you get to higher and higher elevations.

Now, the reason why the river is so important,

when they flood they make the surrounding soil fertile,

and the Nile Valley is one of the first places

and it might have been there even further back in time.

it allowed for higher population densities,

which allowed for more specialization of labor

It's not a coincidence that some of the first,

that one of the first great civilizations emerged here.

Now, the story of the Nile River, or of Egypt,

even though Egypt is considered a lot of this region,

most of the human population, this is true even today,

is right along the river, around that fertile soil,

In fact, this was so important to the ancient Egyptians

that their whole calendar, their seasons,

were based on what the Nile River was doing.

or the flooding of the river, which makes the soil fertile.

which is now talking about the growth of the crops

And so you had people in this valley for thousands of years,

we formally talk about it as a civilization

And this is where we get to our timeline right over here.

So we're talking about right around there on our timeline

the beginning of the ancient Egyptian civilization

that upper and lower Egypt were first united

under the king and there's different names used,

every now and then and I'm probably doing it here as well.

And so he was the king that unified upper and lower Egypt

into an empire and the empire, as we will see,

every one of these spaces is a hundred years.

but the ancient Egyptian civilization is roughly divided

You have the old kingdom, which went from about,

You have the middle kingdom and you have the new kingdom.

And once again, this is spanning right over here

And in between those, you have these intermediate periods

You have in some of these intermediate periods,
