History of Egypt: Reality and Fiction

The history of Egypt is conditionally divided into several periods: ancient, Alexandrian, Roman and modern. Why so? Such a division is convenient in that the periodization of time periods is concentrated around the most important world events, the center of which was Egypt. The ancient world and its history are peculiar. And for a modern person they look like a fairy tale full of mysticism and the unknown. Indeed, to this day, scientists cannot solve all the mysteries that the merciless desert sands of Africa hide, preserved only in stone engraving , rare papyrus letters, and pyramids, giants towering above the sands, not subject to time and decay. The history of the pyramids of Egypt still remains an unsolved mystery, full of terrible legends and mysticism: after all, how could the ancients build something that people can still do only using modern technology?

The origin of the Egyptians

Many myths and near-scientific information are available both to scientists and fans of this mysterious world, adventurers, wealth and fame. Many facts say, for example, that the history of Egypt originates from the time of the Atlanteans (the deceased ancient super-civilization that sank with the continent in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean). The Egyptians consider the high technological "savvy" of the Egyptians, their finely thought out spiritual and religious culture, as well as the strange architecture reminiscent of the structure of modern mechanisms, as confirmation of this. Of course, with regard to anachronisms, much is blurred and becomes more like a farce than a truth to us, but is it really more pleasant to think that hundreds of thousands of slaves dragged huge (several tons tons in mass) stones from quarries for tens of kilometers and then stacked these same stones with filigree accuracy? Believe it weakly. Perhaps no one will know the truth, and everyone is free to believe that he likes, moreover, neither the official version nor the pseudo-scientific one can reveal all the secrets that the history of Egypt is fraught with.

From what we know reliably, we can only say that the Egyptians, despite their imaginary primitiveness, were very strong and warlike people (even before Alexander the Great and the expansion of Rome, who conquered many neighboring lands, walking on them with fire and sword). A huge civilization under the control of the demigods-pharaohs, revered by the people, grew and developed for thousands of years, basking in the hot sun of African deserts and, despite the poverty of the soil, the complete unsuitability of the territories for survival and normal life, was able to build entire cities whose architecture fascinates us, and this day. And then, imperceptibly and quietly, it faded, leaving no less than white spots in history than during the period of its existence.

To summarize

In general, the history of Egypt is a whole kaleidoscope of events and one cannot help but notice that there was something in their culture that was inaccessible to modern people. And it doesn’t matter if it was an alien technology, developed to an almost inaccessible level mechanics or magic, but the fact remains. And the truth, as you know, is most often hidden in the little things. And its comprehension may take thousands of years, and maybe the secret will be revealed to us tomorrow ...
