Saleh, like all Muslim rulers, disliked the idea of establishing his authority on the bones of previous rulers, so he made his new headquarters on a flat stretch of dry land on the northern tip of Fustat. This new district was called El Askar, meaning "the Soldiers" in Arabic. As time passed, El Askar became integrated with Fustat, and later still, really lost its identity as a true separate district. One of the most significant trends established by the Abbasid rule were the use of Turkish war slaves. Later, they would be called the Mamelukes and would be used as a mercenary army, then even as governors and rulers of Egypt. This went on until Mohammed Ali disposed of them in the early 19th century. At first these slave soldiers were simply an accident of the Abbasid system of educating "acquired" children in the court to grow up into a loyal bodyguard. This civil service was therefore without roots in the society itself, so they could be trusted to do as they were told, no matter what was happening outside of the court. These slaves were not beaten, or usually made to do brutal work, but were instead trained in good soldiering. Yet as time passed, they began to rule the rulers, and finally, one of them set himself up in Fustat as the master and not the slave. This was Ahmad Ibn Tulun.

Starověký Egypt je zajímavý nejen díky svým nesčetným památkám (pyramidy v Sakkáře, pyramidy v Dahšúru, pyramidy v Abúsíru, pyramidy v Gíze, pyramidy v Lištu, Amonův chrám v Karnaku, chrámový komplex v Luxoru, hrobky v Údolí králů, Ramesseum a mnohé další), které přečkaly staletí a jsou pro dnešní generaci mlčenlivými svědky časů dávno minulých, ale je zajímavý také procesem, kterým si starověký Egypt prošel od vzniku až po přičlenění k Římu. Ke spojení dvou rozdílných kultur (jižní části - Horního Egypta - a severní části - Dolního Egypta) postačila dvě staletí. Ve sjednoceném Egyptě měl silnější slovo Horní Egypt, Dolní Egpyt zase výrazně ovlivnil strukturu společenského zřízení. Tak postupně vznikl jednotný Egypt, který si (stejně jako všechny starověké státy) prošel obdobím rozkvětu i pádu. Způsobem svého vzniku se Egypt výrazně odlišoval od ostatních států, které ještě dlouhou dobu fungovaly jako spíše státy městské. I když byla jednota starověkého Egypta v některých obdobích více nebo méně ohrožena, politické a náboženské struktury zajistily vždy umělou, ale přesto pevnou rovnováhu. Teokratická monarchie se opírala o dokonalou organizaci státní správy a mocné kněžstvo. Pouze silně centralizovaný stát byl totiž schopen spravovat tak odlišné kraje a jejich obyvatele s různou vírou.

Navigation introduction statistics economy history ... country memo Egypt : History Small communities spread throughout the desert regions of Egypt are clustered around oases and historic trade and transportation routes. The government has tried with mixed success to encourage migration to newly irrigated land reclaimed from the desert. However, the proportion of the population living in rural areas has continued to decrease as people move to the cities in search of employment and a higher standard of living. The Egyptians are a fairly homogeneous people of Hamitic origin. Mediterranean and Arab influences appear in the north, and there is some mixing in the south with the Nubians of northern Sudan. Ethnic minorities include a small number of Bedouin Arab nomads in the eastern and western deserts and in the Sinai, as well as some 50,000-100,000 Nubians clustered along the Nile in Upper (southern) Egypt. Egypt has endured as a unified state for more than 5,000 years, and archeological evidence indicates that a developed Egyptian society has existed for much longer. Egyptians take pride in their "pharaonic heritage" and in their descent from what they consider mankind's earliest civilization. The Arabic word for Egypt is Misr, which originally connoted "civilization" or "metropolis."

The Thirtieth Dynasty was the last native ruling dynasty during the Pharaonic epoch. It fell to the Persians in 343 BC after the last native Pharaoh, King Nectanebo II, was defeated in battle. Greek - Romanic Era Later, Egypt fell to the Greeks and Romans, beginning over two thousand years of foreign rule, Alexander start this occupation in 332 BC and choose Alexandria to be new capital for Egypt, after death of Alexander Batlamious ruled Egypt and his Family to year 32 BC after that Roman occupation Egypt after defeat of last Queen of Batlamic family Cleopatra to begin new Romanic era in Egypt by August Emperor. Before Egypt became part of the Byzantine realm, Christianity had been brought by Saint Mark the Evangelist in the AD first century. Diocletian's reign marks the transition from the Roman to the Byzantine era in Egypt, when a great number of Egyptian Christians were persecuted. The New Testament was by then translated into Egyptian, and after the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451, a distinct Egyptian Coptic Church was firmly established. Islamic Era The Byzantines were able to regain control of the country after a brief Persian invasion early in the seventh century, until in AD 639, Egypt was opened by the Muslim Arabs. The form of Islam the Arabs brought to Egypt was Sunni the basic of Islam. Muslim rulers nominated by the Islamic Caliphate remained in control of Egypt for the next six centuries, including a period for which it was the seat of the Caliphate under the Fatimids. With the end of the Ayyubid dynasty, a Turco-Circassian military caste, the Mamluks, took control about AD 1250 and continued to govern even after the conquest of Egypt by the Ottoman Turks in 1517. The brief French Invasion of Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 had a great social impact on the country and its culture. Native Egyptians became exposed to the principles of the French Revolution and had an apparent chance to exercise self-governance.

52. Egypt History - From Gold To Dust A short overview of the history of Egypt, the rise and fall of a mighty empire http://www.all-about-egypt.com/egypt-history.html

HOME MODERN EGYPT ALL ABOUT TRAVEL TOURIST ATTRACTIONS ... VIDEOS Egypt History - From Gold to Dust Egypt history is as fascinating as it is long. The official name of modern Egypt is the Arab Republic of Egypt. But before becoming an independent state in 1953, Egyptians had to endure centuries of invasions and occupations, including Arabs and Turks from the Near East and Europeans too. Egypt was once the largest and richest world empire, but that happened long long time ago. Throughout Egypt history, many pharaohs conducted military campaigns that extended the borders of Egypt from Nubia in the South, in present day Sudan, to Syria in the North, with the capital in Thebes, the present day Luxor. These military campaigns brought so much wealth to the country that pharaohs began a monument building program unparalled in history, the remains of which we tour today. Egypt is actually an open air museum, with ancient monuments scattered along the east and west banks of the Nile, from the Pyramids of Giza at the North to the Great Temple of Abu Simbel near the present day border of Sudan. Who has controlled the Middle East over the course of history? Pretty much everyone. Egyptians, Turks, Jews, Romans, Arabs, Persians, Europeans...the list goes on. Who will control the Middle East today? That is a much bigger question.

Index Shades Egypt Index Sources Guestbook Egypt History Egypt has the oldest continuously existing civilization in the world. Most scholars believe that the Egyptian kingdom was first unified in about 3100 BC. Egypt maintained its independence and unity for many centuries thereafter. It suffered disunity now and then and experienced brief periods of foreign domination—by the Semitic Hyksos in the 17th and 16th centuries BC, the Assyrians in the 7th century BC, and the Persians in the 6th and 5th centuries BC—before the arrival of Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great in 332 BC. Alexander made Egypt a part of his vast empire. Alexander's empire broke up after his death in 323 BC. One of his generals, Ptolemy, became ruler of Egypt, and in 305 BC he assumed the title of king. Ptolemy founded the Ptolemaic dynasty . Under these rulers, Egypt became a center of the Hellenistic world—that is, the vast region, encompassing the eastern Mediterranean basin and the Middle East, in which Greek culture and learning were preeminent from Alexander's conquest until the 1st century BC. Although the Ptolemies preserved many native traditions, they remained unpopular because they kept Egyptians from important governmental posts. The Romans conquered Egypt in 30 BC, ruling it as a province of their empire for the next several centuries. One of the first countries to be exposed to Christianity, Egypt became predominantly Christian by the end of the 3rd century AD.

ISLAMIC EGYPT Egypt is one of the most fertile areas of Africa , and one of the most fertile of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea . Because Egypt is so fertile, people came to live in Egypt earlier than in most places, probably around 40,000 years ago . At first there were not very many people, but gradually Egypt became more crowded, so there was more need for a unified government. For a while there seem to have been two kingdoms, which we call Upper Egypt (in the south) and Lower Egypt (in the north). Around 3000 BC (5000 years ago), at the beginning of the Bronze Age, the king of Upper Egypt conquered the king of Lower Egypt and made Egypt into one kingdom, Egypt. People called the ruler of this new kingdom the Pharaoh From that time until around 525 BC , when Egypt was conquered by the Persians , we divide Egypt's history into six different time periods.

Archaeological findings point to the emergence of a dominant political and religious culture in the Nile valley by about 3300 BC. Shortly thereafter, Menes—considered the first pharaoh—conquered the delta and the narrow strip of cultivated land along the Nile, uniting Upper and Lower Egypt. Historians divide Egyptian civilization into four epochs: the Old, Middle, and New kingdoms, and the Late Period. These eras are separated from each another by, respectively, the First, Second, and Third Intermediate periods. During these times the political divisions of Middle and Upper Egypt broke apart under the influence of weak rulers, fragmenting the central government and disrupting the administrative authority of the country.
