Question

When did people begin to live in Ancient Egypt?

Answer 1

Permanent settlements and villages have been excavated and dated to as early as c7.000BCE in the delta region of Merimba Beni-Salama and also the Fayoum Oasis district.

From excavations we know that there were already trade alliances established, that reached as far as Turkey and Afghanistan.This has been determined by a form of grain and found in grave goods and lapiz-lazuli beads also found in pit burials.

At this time the dead were buried in oval pits in a foetal position on their left side with their heads to the South facing West. One hand was usually positioned under the head, as though sleeping.

The use and inclusion of grave goods and personal items such as jewellery indicates that they had established an abstract belief system, most likely related to fertility and nature.

They had developed a distinctive form of pottery and were quite skilled at carving using stone or ivory.

These early Egyptians developed as an agrarian culture and grew crops along the flood plains of the Nile river.

They hunted game and fished and had a quite varied diet.  

While in the region known as upper Egypt the Naquadan culture had established permanent settlement around c5.000BCE-3.000BCE.

They also lived in small settlements of 5-15 family groups and had ritual forms of burial similar to those of the Badarian culture.

Answer 3

There is evidence of man having lived in Egypt from Prehistoric times (the Paleolithic period) from about 250,000 b.c.  Primitive hand axes and flint tools have been found througout North Africa, during that time period. They were tribes of hunters who roamed throughout North Africa from Egypt to the Maghreb (modern Morocco).  The Paleolithic period lasted to about 25,000 b.c. when the grassy hunting grounds began to turn into dessert...causing men to gather together at the edge of the Nile, and in the oases where water could still be found.

Recorded history begins in Egypt, with the Predynastic Period...about 3, 700 b.c.  when the first records on stone were found in Middle Egypt.

The dynastic period began around 3,100 b.c., but the history of the earliest dynasties is obscure, until we reach King Menes, (or Narmer) who united what had been the separate kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt.

Answer 4

people back at 3150bc. I'm a huge fan of Egypt and ancient things. the ancient Egyptians lived next to the Nile river for their crops to grow and drinking water. in 1350 bc the pharaoh ruled but in 31bc they stopped.
