Ancient Egypt in North Africa was one of the most powerful and influential civilizations in the region for over 3,000 years .

Ancient Egypt was closely connected with other parts of the world, bringing in and exporting goods, religions, food, people and ideas.

The word pharaoh originates from the Egyptian term "per-aa," which means " the Great House ".

The first pharaoh of the first dynasty was a ruler named Menes (or Narmer , as he is called in Greek ) Menes was the first Egyptian ruler to rule a united Egypt .

During this time pyramid-building techniques were developed and the pyramids of Giza were built.

Ancient Egyptians followed a polytheistic religion in which a vast number of gods and goddesses were venerated.

One of the most important was Osiris , god of the underworld.

Egyptian dead were sometimes mummified, preserving the body, and were sometimes buried with spells to aid them in the afterlife.
