𓀀 𓀁 𓀂 𓀃 Modern Ancient Civilization : Egypt 𓀚 𓀛 𓀜 𓀝
Whenever we talk about ancient civilization, the concept of Egypt and Egyptian civilization comes first in our mind. Egyptian civilization has been famous for thousands of years like India.
Their mummies, pyramids, stonework, are known all over the world. Egyptian civilization developed on the banks of the Nile River. The people there considered the Nile River as sacred as the Ganges River in India. Egyptian civilization was discovered by Napoleon Bonaparte.
The civilization of Egypt was ancient, but according to the explorers and the remains found in the ground, it is believed that they were more modern than today. The history of Egypt was divided into three parts: the Pyramid Age, the Feudal Age and the Imperial Age.
About 31 kings ruled Egypt. The people there considered the king as a form of deity and worshiped him. The kings there were known as Pharaohs. Only the pharaohs had the right to apply the laws and give justice there.
More than 2000 deities were worshiped in ancient Egypt. People believed that each deity was associated with some aspect of life, such as they worshiped Anulis as the god of death and Amundra for longevity.
Apart from this, they believed that death is not the end of life, that's why they used to make mummies. Because of the use of wadi natrum salts to make mummies, safe mummies are still found today. They believed that reincarnation would be possible in the future, so the human body must be in a good condition for rebirth.
The people there were scientists and mathematicians. In the time of Egypt, women were given a special status in every field. Just as there are different doctors to cure different diseases in today's time, according to the historian Heritotus, in the time of Egypt, only one doctor was expert in curing any one disease. The people there considered hair as a bad omen so they used a special type of wig.
It was the Egyptian race that started making big ships and the toothbrush, paste, lock, key that we use today was the first to start from Egypt.
People attached great importance to keeping their teeth clean so they used toothpicks even while making mummies. Due to this, the most protected part of the body is found in the mummies that have been found till date.
Board games date back to ancient Egypt. The game we play today was known as sonnet back then. During the excavations some remains of Egypt were found whose mystery has not been solved. Some paintings from the Egyptian period remain mysteries to this day.
In 2018, archaeologists found a huge black stone box during excavations near the city of Alexander, Egypt. This box, 10 feet long and 5 feet high, was completely made of granite. According to the finder, this box was around 200 BC.
When they were opened, three male skulls were found. DNA test and carbon dating and many types of research were done but it was not found out whose skeleton they belonged to. But the jeweled gold ornaments inlaid with it were a fine example of Benmoon craftsmanship. The people here were skilled in making idols, gold and silver ornaments.
The people of Egypt were rich in construction stones, copper, lead, gold, semi-precious stones. It was because of this natural richness that they were able to create huge monuments, new tools, and jewelry.
Copper was the main metal used for making tools in Egypt. That is why many vessels of that time are also found during today's excavations.
Hieroglyphic script was used for writing in Mistra. And it had more than 500 clues. A hieroglyphic word could represent a syllable or a silent feature, and the same sign could be used to serve different purposes in different texts. Hieroglyphic is a formal script.
It was used in stone monuments and tombs. In daily writing the scribes used a form of handwriting known as hieratic, which was easier and faster for them. According to the historian, this script could be read either horizontally or vertically.
But till date he could not recognize or read the signs of the picture. As old mysteries are solved in Egyptian civilization, new ones are also created.
