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. From the great pyramids of the Old Kingdom through the military conquests of the New Kingdom, Egypt’s majesty has long entranced archaeologists and historians and created a vibrant field of study all its own: Egyptology. The main sources of information about ancient Egypt are the many monuments, objects and artifacts that have been recovered from archaeological sites, covered with hieroglyphs that have only recently been deciphered. The picture that emerges is of a culture with few equals in the beauty of its art, the accomplishment of its architecture or the richness of its religious traditions.


Predynastic Period (c. 5000-3100 B.C.)
Few written records or artifacts have been found from the Predynastic Period, which encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization.

Neolithic (late Stone Age) communities in northeastern Africa exchanged hunting for agriculture and made early advances that paved the way for the later development of Egyptian arts and crafts, technology, politics and religion (including a great reverence for the dead and possibly a belief in life after death).
Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established near the Fertile Crescent, an area home to some of the world’s oldest civilizations: the Red Land to the north, based in the Nile River Delta and extending along the Nile perhaps to Atfih; and the White Land in the south, stretching from Atfih to Gebel es-Silsila. A southern king, Scorpion, made the first attempts to conquer the northern kingdom around 3200 B.C. A century later, King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.

In the Archaic Period, as in all other periods, most ancient Egyptians were farmers living in small villages, and agriculture (largely wheat and barley) formed the economic base of the Egyptian state. The annual flooding of the great Nile River provided the necessary irrigation and fertilization each year; farmers sowed the wheat after the flooding receded and harvested it before the season of high temperatures and drought returned.

Which statements describe early humans? Select all correct answers. For the most part, early hunter-gatherers were nomadic. Earl
vivado [14]

Answer:

- For the most part, early hunter-gatherers were nomadic

- Early humans lived in caves, rock shelters in cliffs, and in tents

- An achievement of early humans was the mastery of fire

Explanation:

The early humans had much different life than the humans of the Neolithic and even more than the modern day humans. These humans had only several achievements, mostly the mastery of fire, creation of simple shelters, and creation of tools and weapons from stone. Their prime concerns were getting food and safety. The food was obtained through hunting of animals and gathering of certain plants. This meant that they had to have nomadic lifestyle in order to have enough food to survive, and their migrations were dictated by the migrations of the animals and the seasons. This was putting the early humans at big risk constantly, as there were lot of predators that were able to take them down with ease, such as big cats, canids, ancient bears, hyenas, and even the animals that they were hunting were extremely dangerous, especially the mastodon and mammoth. In order to be safer and more effective in getting food, they lived in groups, and were spending the nights in caves, rock shelters in cliffs, and in retractable tents, usually located at good locations for defending.
