	History of Ancient Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Along the Nile, in the 10th millennium BC, a grain-grinding culture using the earliest type of sickle blades was replaced by another culture of hunters, fishers and gathering peoples using stone tools.
		Scientific analysis of the remains of their culture indicates that by 6000 BC they were herding cattle and constructing large buildings.
		Around 3100 BC a king unified the whole of the Nile Valley between the Delta and the First Cataract at Aswan, with the centre of power in Memphis.

	Sudan
		Around 3000 BC the Egyptians were drawn into the region, lured by their quest for raw materials and their desire to access the riches of sub-Saharan Africa.
		The resurgence of Egyptian power, begun by Kamose (1555–1550 BC) and confirmed by Ahmose (1550–1525 BC), led to a power struggle between Egypt and Kush culminating in the conquest of the latter by Thutmose I (1504–1492 BC) and the establishment of the border of the empire at Kurgus, south of AbuHamed.
		Development appears to have been rapid; by the mid-eighth century BC King Kashta, as the champion of the Egyptian god Amun who had been adopted by the rulers of this second Kingdom of Kush, extended his control to Thebes and his successor Piye (Piankhy) went on to conquer the whole of the Egyptian Nile valley.

	Historical Notes About Writing
		It was developed from ideographic writing, and was the official script of the Achaemeid dynasty of Persia from 6th century BC until victories of Alexander the Great.
		Eventually it declined, because advances of new technology in the way of writing materials were introduced from within the Persian empire like papyrus, skins, and parchments on which cuneiform symbols were difficult to write.
		As a side note: Assyro- Babylonian literature - between 3000 BC and the birth of Jesus - flourished.

		In the Old and Middle Kingdom periods (2686-1650 BC), the fly was also depicted on various ritual artifacts, including the so called 'magic wands' often carved from hippopotamus ivory and probably intended to protect the owner from harm.
		He was identified from a ceremonial mace-head found at Hierakonpolis (modern-day Kom el-Ahmar, about 80 km south of Luxor) [map] which depicts a king wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt with the glyph of a scorpion next to his face.
