Egyptian Civilization

Description

Egyptian civilization possesses a rare set of characteristics, including being one of only two original civilizations without precedent (the Sumerian and the Egyptian). It is also the cultural melting pot of prehistoric and historical heritage, which flowed to and from three vast continents: Africa, Asia, and Europe. After shaping this heritage according to its unique temperament, it produced a distinctive synthesis that bore its name, color, aroma, and character, becoming a major center of influence, unparalleled in its influence, which permeated the entire world and illuminated it with its light. Most importantly, Egyptian civilization possessed a unique ability to achieve moral balance and harmonize the secular and religious spheres, making this balance the foundation for a unique harmony between these two worlds. Egyptian civilization is vast in its political, social, economic, religious, cultural, scientific, and artistic manifestations. It is no exaggeration to say that this book examines these manifestations in meticulous detail, providing information, analyzing them, and revealing their profound inner essence. It also reveals the harmony between these manifestations through more than one hundred small details, meticulously examining the evidence and avoiding excessive interpretation. This approach demonstrates that the strength of Egyptian civilization lies in its authenticity and in the spiritual veil that surrounds and permeates its core.

This book relies primarily on archaeology and the study of Egyptology’s achievements over two centuries. It chronicles the unique efforts of the leading figures in this field as they piece together fragments of Egyptian civilization, reconstruct its magnificent landscape, and articulate its enduring spirit, which continues to resonate across the globe.
