In Egypt the accumulated monuments of more ancient times—the pyramids were already in their third thousand of years and a show for visitors just as they are to-day—were supplemented by fresh and splendid buildings, more particularly in the time of the seventeenth and nineteenth dynasties. In Mesopotamia and Egypt the coming of the Aryans did not cause fundamental changes until after 600 B.C.

In the course of those thousands of years, Egypt has known many empires that have come and gone – Persian, Greek, Roman, Arab, Ottoman, British – so that today it is America which cajoles and courts the ancient nation on the Nile. The great discontinuity in Egyptian history was the Arab invasion of the 7th century and the introduction of Islam. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/1858289408   (283 words)

History of Egypt In 11 chapters, David, a respected Egyptologist, surveys Egypt from predynastic times through the arrival of Islam, although the work concentrates on the period before the establishment of the Greek Ptolomies as the royal line. Most of what we know about ancient Egypt was learned from artifacts blasted out, dug up, meticulously researched, or otherwise retrieved from shadowed obscurity. One of the most vexing problems in Egyptology is the question of establishing reliable chronologies, whether through relative methods such as stratigraphy and the dating of artifacts or through more absolute time horizons established by astronomical ephemera or radiometric dating. www.magicaljourneys.com /Egypt/Bookstore/history.html   (5397 words)

Egypt: History Egypt's postwar policy was based on two principles: no direct negotiations with Israel and the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 242, which, in part, called for the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from occupied territories. In the early 1960s, Nasser strove to make Egypt the undisputed leader of a united Arab world; his chief and most effective rallying cry for Arab unity remained his denunciation of Israel and his call for that country's extinction. The constitution was suspended in 1930, and Egypt was under a virtual royal dictatorship until the Wafdists forced the readoption of the constitution in 1935. www.infoplease.com /ce6/world/A0857911.html   (5397 words)
