Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient Northeast Africa,concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River,situated in the place that is now the country Egypt. Ancient Egyptian civilization followed prehistoric Egypt and coalesced around 3100 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Menes. The history of ancient Egypt occurred as a series of stable kingdoms,separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods:the Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age,the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age.
The Rosetta Stone is a stele of granodiorite inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in Memphis,Egypt,in 196 BC during the Ptolemaic dynasty on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The top and middle texts are in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts,respectively,while the bottom is in Ancient Greek. The decree has only minor differences between the three versions,making the Rosetta Stone key to deciphering the Egyptian scripts.
The Suez Canal is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt,connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea through the Isthmus of Suez and dividing Africa and Asia. The 193.30-kilometre-long (120.11 mi) canal is a key trade route between Europe and Asia.
The Egyptian language or ancient Egyptian is an extinct Afro-Asiatic language that was spoken in ancient Egypt. It is known today from a large corpus of surviving texts which were made accessible to the modern world following the decipherment of the ancient Egyptian scripts in the early 19th century. Egyptian is one of the earliest written languages,first being recorded in the hieroglyphic script in the late 4th millennium BC. It is also the longest-attested human language,with a written record spanning over 4,000 years. Its classical form is known as Middle Egyptian,the vernacular of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt which remained the literary language of Egypt until the Roman period. By the time of classical antiquity the spoken language had evolved into Demotic,and by the Roman era it had diversified into the Coptic dialects. These were eventually supplanted by Arabic after the Muslim conquest of Egypt,although Bohairic Coptic remains in use as the liturgical language of the Coptic Church.
Egyptian hieroglyphs were the formal writing system used in Ancient Egypt for writing the Egyptian language. Hieroglyphs combined logographic,syllabic and alphabetic elements,with more than 100 distinct characters. Cursive hieroglyphs were used for religious literature on papyrus and wood. The later hieratic and demotic Egyptian scripts were derived from hieroglyphic writing,as was the Proto-Sinaitic script that later evolved into the Phoenician alphabet. Through the Phoenician alphabet's major child systems,the Egyptian hieroglyphic script is ancestral to the majority of scripts in modern use,most prominently the Latin and Cyrillic scripts and the Arabic script,and possibly the Brahmic family of scripts.
Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC,and its last active ruler. A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty,she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter,a Macedonian Greek general and companion of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra,Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire,marking the end of the last Hellenistic-period state in the Mediterranean and of the age that had lasted since the reign of Alexander. Her first language was Koine Greek,and she was the only known Ptolemaic ruler to learn the Egyptian language.
Rem,also Rem-Rem,Remi,or Remi the Weeper,who lives in Rem-Rem,the realm of weeping,was a fish god in Egypt who fertilized the land with his tears,producing both vegetation and the reptiles. He is assumed to be the personification of Ra's tears.
Egyptian Arabic,locally known as Colloquial Egyptian,or simply Masri (مَصرى),is the most widely spoken vernacular Arabic dialect in Egypt. It is part of the Afro-Asiatic language family,and originated in the Nile Delta in Lower Egypt. The estimated 100 million Egyptians speak a continuum of dialects,among which Cairene is the most prominent. It is also understood across most of the Arabic-speaking countries due to broad Egyptian influence in the region,including through Egyptian cinema and Egyptian music. These factors help to make it the most widely spoken and by far the most widely studied variety of Arabic.

Nemes were pieces of striped head cloth worn by pharaohs in ancient Egypt. It covered the whole crown and behind of the head and nape of the neck and had lappets,two large flaps which hung down behind the ears and in front of both shoulders. It was sometimes combined with the double crown,as it is on the statues of Ramesses II at Abu Simbel. The earliest depiction of the nemes,along with a uraeus,is the ivory label of Den from the 1st Dynasty. It is not a crown in itself,but still symbolizes the pharaoh's power.
