Egyptian Empire


For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. 

Egypt began in the Nile Delta and moved down the Nile and up the Medeterranian.

In 1450 BC, Egypt extended down the Nile South into Sudan, bordered the Red Sea and extended up the Medeterranian coast to Turkey. The Hittites were in Turkey. The Assyrians were in Syria. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Egypte_1450_v.Chr.svg

1450 BC is also the date the Exodus was thought to have occurred.

The Egyptian Empire was absorbed by the Roman Empire in 30 BC.
