Ancient Egypt was North Africa’s civilization
Ancient Egypt was North Africa’s civilization and was concentrated in the Nile River’s reaches. According to conventional Egyptian chronology, Prehistoric Egypt civilization took place in 3100BC after the unification of the Lower and Upper Egypt (O’connor & Reid, 2016). Ancient Egypt is quite different in its means of gaining wealth when compared to other ancient empires. Egypt reached its pinnacle of power after the New Kingdom was created. Egyptian people were unified in promoting their bureaucracy without invading other nations; this made Egyptians different from Romans, Greeks, and Persians. The success of Egypt came partly due to its adaptability within the Nile River Valley conditions through agriculture. Controlled irrigation and predictable flooding aided in the production of surplus crops, which helped in social development and the support of the kingdom’s dense population. With vast resources to spare, the empire’s administrators sponsored the exploitation of minerals in the desert and valley regions. Nile River has always been the lifeline in Egypt, providing them the opportunity to have a centralized and sophisticated society (O’connor & Reid, 2016).
The utility of hieroglyphics was another factor that helped in growing the influence and power of Egyptians. Hieroglyphics is a form of writing in the form of images that are utilized in expressing varied meanings. As Egypt grew in its influence, it was better to manage resources attained from large scale projects, and this needed better means of record-keeping to maintain the increasingly large state; this was done through hieroglyphics’ writing (Ucko & Champion, 2016)s. Hieroglyphic writing was efficient in the growth of the Egyptian empire due to its ability to manage its amenities; leaders were also able to utilize this strategy in coordinating labor, which is a significant lead in the creation of wealth.
