  1. i would have to say because of the nile!  It enriched the land making it easy for the people to produce food.  Which then drew lot of people and they built the city ....many people and a city and that a recipe for a civilization!!!!!!!!!!


  2. Starting a civilization i s not a overnight process it takes decades sometimes even centuries its gradual process  . If you go through history you would find that every civilization had started near the river . river helped them to communicate and cultivate  with other parts of he world  such as Mesopotamia which helped them to flourish . Though it very hard to be precise about the time period but its prior to  3000 B.C

  3. There are two possible answers...

    First, and most scholarly accepted, due to the fertile Nile valley, people began to settle in the same place for hundreds of years. This led to the development of technologies and cultural traditions that would later culminate as the Egyptian civilization.

    Second, and most debatable... there are actually two egyptian civilizations. One, pre-mosiac-flood, which built the Sphinx, the Great Pyramid Complex, and other ancient ancient Egyptian structures. The second, was one of people who came after the flood and tried to emulate the structures that already existed (thus explaining how the Great Pyramids can be an engineering miracle, whereas all the other pyramids were 'crappy' in comparison).

  4. "Start", not "started".

    It started with the settling of tribes around the nile. They later morphed into upper and lower Egypt and then were both unified into Egypt

  5. Its hard to state when exactly the Egyptian empire began, since even archeologists and anthropologists today have arbitrary beliefs that contradict each other...

    some say Egyptian as a culture existed only 7000 years ago at its base earliest, while others claim they have scientific proof that the Sphnix and the understructures of the Khufu Pyramids date bace beyond 10,000 years.

    It is commonly accepted that humans existed in the Paleolithic Egyptian location 500,000-700,000 years ago as Homo Erectus and then replaced by Homo Neandethalensis by the middle paleolithic period. Which was the beginning of the permanent structures of Caveman era, for laymen out there.

    The Sahara desert of sand began to overtake the grassylands of the region and forced the people to move closer to the Nile River Valley around the Upper Paleolithic time...roughly about 30,000 BCE. This began some of the stone age days with stone tools and the beginning of localized permanent locations of a group of people.

    For the sake of argument let us call 13,000 BCE the beginning or dawning of civilized Egypt, with small ideas of preliminary gathering of seeds and basic farming technologies and cementary ritualstic burials....not necessarily in the format of the Egyptian specific mummification burials, but no doubt this led to it.

    The Epipaleolithic Period of 10,000 - 5,500 BCE is the transition between the Paleolithic and the Predynastic or PrePharoah periods in ancient Egypt. Hunter-gatherers began a transition to the village-dwelling farming cultures.

    Predynastic about 4500 BCE to 4000 BCE. Early Egypt, Prior to 4000 BCE Egypt was populated by nomadic tribes complete with different cultures and traditions. Sometime around this date, however, the tribes began to band together.

    Middle Egypt, about 4000 BCE when the Egypt North and Egypt South came together under the same rule (noted by the stylized headdress of the pharoah combining the crown of the south and the crown of the north into one.

    Late Egypt. 3500 BCE to 3000 BCE

    The first Egyptian Dynasty is hard to penpoint because of war and history that was notstandardized, however it is concluded that Hieroglyphics became the standard in this period, elaborate sculpture and was the actual beginning of Egyptian history as accepted.

    The 32nd Dynasty was the end of Egypt ruled by the Pharoahs and instead coincides with Alexander the Great's overtake of the region and the Ptolemy's family rule (the family line of Cleopatra)

    Hope this wasn't too long. :P
