EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION

Egyptian civilization was born in the 3rd millennium BC and has shone for about 2000 years.

Egyptian civilization is of paramount importance: highly developed writing (hieroglyphics), painting (especially murals) and sculpture.

Egyptian civilization is characterized by the worship of the gods and the dead. Thus, the most important buildings are tombs, mastabas and pyramids (pyramid of Cheops) and the Great Sphinx of Giza and the temples of the New Kingdom (Abu Simbel, Luxor and Karnak).
