Ancient Egypt, a civilization of remarkable longevity and influence, rose to prominence through its mastery of agriculture, innovative irrigation systems, and centralized government. The fertile Nile River valley provided sustenance and facilitated trade, while powerful pharaohs unified the land and oversaw monumental construction projects like the pyramids. However, internal strife, invasions from foreign powers, and environmental changes gradually weakened the kingdom, leading to its eventual decline and incorporation into successive empires.
