ANCIENT EGYPT IN ONE AMAZING VIEW

This is the length and breadth of the ancient Egyptian empire for most of its history.

The ancient Egyptians had a seemingly upside-down way of looking at their world: Upper Egypt was in the south and Lower Egypt in the north!

Have you explored ancient Egypt?

Everyone should be an Egyptologist. Three thousand years of well-preserved history. It is a gift. Everything is there. Culture, religion, politics, war, peace, commerce, wealth, power, poverty, victories, defeat, failure, success, rises and falls, fashion, love, beauty, art, music. And ancient Egypt still lives in our culture. Our calendars, the way we judge in the Olympics, the way we associate emotion with the heart

Was surgery performed on Egyptians? Prosthetic pin in 3000-year-old mummy discovered

This mummy has a secret - a medical secret, a mystery that spans over 3,000 years.

Researchers during a routine DNA test on a male Egyptian have made an astonishing discovery after finding a 23cm iron orthopaedic screw inside his knee.
