Casino Unveils Egyptian themed casino room
Egypt
is a country mainly in North Africa, with the Sinai
Peninsula forming a land bridge in Western Asia. Covering
an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers (390,000
sq mi), Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the
north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast,
the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya
to the west.
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa
and the Middle East. The great majority of its estimated
82 million live near the banks of the Nile River,
in an area of about 40,000 square kilometers (15,000
sq mi), where the only arable agricultural land is
found. The large areas of the Sahara Desert are sparsely
inhabited. About half of Egypt's residents live in
urban areas, with the majority spread across the densely-populated
centres of greater Cairo, Alexandria and other major
cities in the Nile Delta.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some
of the world's most famous monuments, including the
Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern
city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts,
such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings.
Egypt is widely regarded as an important political
and cultural nation of the Middle East.
Ancient
Egypt
There
is evidence of rock carvings along the Nile terraces
and in the desert oases. In the 10th millennium BC,
a culture of hunter-gatherers and fishers replaced
a grain-grinding culture. Climate changes and/or overgrazing
around 8000 BC began to desiccate the pastoral lands
of Egypt, forming the Sahara. Early tribal peoples
migrated to the Nile River where they developed a
settled agricultural economy and more centralized
society.
By about 6000 BC the Neolithic culture rooted in the
Nile Valley. During the Neolithic era, several predynastic
cultures developed independently in Upper and Lower
Egypt. The Badarian culture and the successor Naqada
series are generally regarded as precursors to Dynastic
Egyptian civilization. The earliest known Lower Egyptian
site, Merimda, predates the Badarian by about seven
hundred years. Contemporaneous Lower Egyptian communities
coexisted with their southern counterparts for more
than two thousand years, remaining somewhat culturally
separate, but maintaining frequent contact through
trade. The earliest known evidence of Egyptian hieroglyphic
inscriptions appeared during the predynastic period
on Naqada III pottery vessels, dated to about 3200
BC.
A
unified kingdom was founded circa 3150 BC by King
Menes, giving rise to a series of dynasties that ruled
Egypt for the next three millennia. Egyptians subsequently
referred to their unified country as tawy, meaning
"two lands", and later kemet (Coptic: kimi),
the "black land", a reference to the fertile
black soil deposited by the Nile river. Egyptian culture
flourished during this long period and remained distinctively
Egyptian in its religion, arts, language and customs.
The first two ruling dynasties of a unified Egypt
set the stage for the Old Kingdom period, c.2700-2200
BC., famous for its many pyramids, most notably the
Third Dynasty pyramid of Djoser and the Fourth Dynasty
Giza Pyramids. (Credit:
