The history of Ancient Egypt spans the period from the early predynastic settlements of the northern Nile Valley to the Roman conquest in 30 BC. 

The Pharaonic Period is dated from around 3200 BC, when Lower and Upper Egypt became a unified state, until the country fell under Greek rule in 332 BC. Egypt's history is split into several different periods according to the ruling dynasty of each pharaoh.What are the mysteries of the Curse of the Pharaohs?The Curse of the Pharaohs refers to the belief that any person who disturbs the mummy of an Ancient Egyptian person, especially a pharaoh, is placed under a curse. This curse, which does not differentiate between thieves and well-intentioned archaeologists, may allegedly cause bad luck, illness or death. Since the mid-20th century, many authors and documentaries have argued that curses are 'real' in the sense of being caused by scientifically explicable causes such as bacteria or radiation. However, the modern origins of Egyptian mummy curse tales, their development primarily in European cultures, the shift from magic to science to explain curses, and their changing uses-from condemning disturbance of the dead to entertaining horror film audiences-suggest that Egyptian curses are primarily a cultural, not exclusively scientific, phenomenon.

There are occasional instances of genuine ancient curses appearing inside or on the facade of a tomb as in the case of the mastaba of Khentika Ikhekhi of the 6th dynasty at Saqqara. These appear to be directed towards the ka priests to carefully protect the tomb and preserve ritual purity rather than a warning for potential robbers. Though there had been stories of curses going back to the 19th century, they multiplied in the aftermath of Howard Carter's discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun. Despite popular misconceptions, there was no actual written curse found in the Pharaoh's tomb.

Step Pyramid of Djoser is the first Egyptian pyramid. It was really 6 mastabas stacked on top of each other. Alexandria, Egypt was famous during the Ptolemaic dynasty for housing the Ancient Library of  Alexandia. This library was an intellectual and cultural center. The Pyramids at Giza were originally white. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone spured the rise of modern Egyptology. Pierre Francois Bouchard discovered the Rosetta Stone. Abu Simbel was the ancient Egyptian goddess of magic and the mother of the god Horus. The Valley of the Kings is the site of the tomb of Tutankhamun. This area of Upper Egypt houses the tombs of the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom, frequently falling victim to tomb robberies. Isis was the ancient Egyptian goddess of magic and the mother of the god Horus. Abu Simbel is the name of the twin temples built by the pharaoh Rameses II as a monument to himself and his queen Nefertari. Non-royal citizens of Ancient Egypt were often buried in flat-roofed, rectangular structures called mastabas.

Horus is the Egyptian god who was sometimes depicted as a falcon-headed human. Three sarcophagi surrounded King Tut’s body. Mediterranean Sea flows into the Nile River.  Valley of the Kings is the site of the tomb of Tutankhamun. This area of Upper Egypt houses the tombs of the pharaohs and nobles of the New Kingdom, frequently falling victim to tomb robberies. Isis was the ancient Egyptian goddess of magic and the mother of the god Horus. Ramses II, who ruled during the 19th dynasty, was able to negotiate the first non-aggression treaty in history with the Hittites, which were a former Egyptian threat

Copts are Egypt's Orthodox Christians. The work "Copt" comes from the ancient Egyptian word “Het-ka-Ptah” or “the divine house of the ka of Ptah”. This was adopted by the Greeks since the 4th century BC as “Aigyptos”. When the Arabs conquered Egypt in the mid-7th century, they pronounced it “Gipt” which eventually changed to “Qipt” and was adopted in European languages in the Middle Ages as “Copt”. The Copts are the ethno-religious group that descended from the ancient Egyptians.
