Ancient Egypt
1) Egypt is located in northern Africa along the Nile River, which divides the country into upper and lower Egypt.
2) The Old Kingdom lasted from around 3100 BCE to 2181 BCE and saw the rise of pyramid building, including the Great Pyramid built for Pharaoh Khufu.
3) The Middle Kingdom lasted from around 2040 BCE to 1640 BCE and saw efforts by rulers like Senusret I to expand Egyptian territory.
4) The New Kingdom lasted from around 1550 BCE to 1070 BCE and was marked by rulers like Hatshepsut, the first female pharaoh, and Akhenaten's attempt to establish a single god religion before traditional beliefs were restored
Project history
This document compares and contrasts the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Both civilizations relied heavily on major rivers for survival - Mesopotamia on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and Egypt on the Nile River. Mesopotamia introduced many innovations but lacked political stability, while Egypt developed a more divine rule under pharaohs and established a complex agricultural system along the Nile that allowed it to thrive for over 3,000 years. Despite sharing similarities like urbanization and social stratification, the longevity of Egypt set it apart from continually invaded Mesopotamia.

Ancient Egypt developed along the fertile banks of the Nile River valley between approximately 1500 BCE to 117 CE. The Nile provided fresh water for farming and transportation, while surrounding deserts protected the civilization. Egyptians grew crops like wheat and barley and used plants like papyrus to create materials. They built elaborate tombs to prepare for the afterlife and had a pantheon of important gods led by figures like Ra, Osiris, and Horus. Society was stratified with pharaohs, officials, and priests at the top and peasants at the bottom.

The document summarizes important details about the Persian Empire and Greece between 1150 BCE - 30 BCE. It outlines key people, places, works of art and literature, trade exchanges, and turning points. Both civilizations started around the same time but had different power structures and experiences over time. The Persians sought to conquer Greek lands, leading to two Persian Wars where the Greeks were victorious. However, both empires eventually declined and ended during the Hellenistic period by 30 BCE.

Ancient Greece consisted of city-states located around the Mediterranean Sea. Greek civilization flourished during three main periods: the Archaic period saw the development of the polis system and colonial expansion, the Classical period was marked by the flourishing of democracy, arts, sciences and humanities in Athens, and the Hellenistic period began with Alexander the Great's conquests which spread Greek culture throughout his empire. Greek society was divided between citizen men and non-citizen groups like foreigners, slaves, and women who had limited rights.

Ancient Egypt was a civilization in North Africa along the Nile River that began around 3150 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. It developed over the next three millennia until 332 BC when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt with little resistance from the Persians, establishing a Greek/Macedonian government based on an Egyptian model and centered in the new capital of Alexandria.
The second world
The document discusses several regions in the Arab world and how they are changing. It notes that globalization is allowing the "shattered belt" of Arab states to reconnect after being divided for centuries. It describes the Maghreb region's deep integration into Europe and how residents see themselves more as North African than Arab. The document also discusses Egypt being caught between bureaucrats and theocrats, and the Mashreq region comprising modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel/Palestine slowly being woven together despite conflicts like Israel and Palestine being torn apart.

Urban civilisations (Ancient History)
Urban civilizations first developed around the 4th millennium BC in the river valleys and plains of Egypt and Mesopotamia along the Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates Rivers, which had fertile soils. This transition from villages to cities, known as the urban revolution, was characterized by abundant crop surpluses that fed urban populations and were traded, a hierarchical society divided into rulers, soldiers, priests, farmers, and artisans, and an advanced culture facilitated by the invention of writing. Power was centered around kings and pharaohs who possessed absolute authority over the political and administrative organizations.

The gift of the nile
The document discusses how the annual flooding of the Nile river shaped life in ancient Egypt. Each year, between June and September, summer rains caused the Nile to flood its banks, depositing rich soil. This flooded soil was fertile for farming. Then, from October to February, ancient Egyptians prepared the exposed riverbanks for planting crops. They grew vegetables and other plants using the nutrient-rich soil left by the floodwaters. From March to May, the ancient Egyptians harvested their wheat, grapes, beans and other crops that had been planted in the fall. The predictable flooding and resulting fertile soil made agriculture and life possible in ancient Egypt.
Geog greece
- Ancient Greece was not a united country but rather a collection of separate lands inhabited by Greek-speaking people, with the Minoans ruling Crete and Indo-Europeans settling mainland Greece.
- The sea was integral to Greek civilization as most Greeks lived around the sea and used it for transportation and trade to connect to other societies, important due to Greece's lack of natural resources.
- Rugged, mountainous terrain divided Greece into small regions and made overland travel difficult, influencing independent political communities and limiting arable land to about 20% of the total, restricting population size and basic subsistence farming.

July 9 article 1-half marathon
The earliest recorded half marathon occurred in 490 BC when the Athenian military engaged the invading Persian forces on the plains of Marathon, just outside Athens. Though outnumbered 4 to 1, the Athenians launched a surprise attack and defeated the Persians, killing 6,400 Persian soldiers while losing only 192 of their own. This pivotal victory prevented the Persians from conquering Europe and emboldened the Greeks, fueling the growth and influence of Greek civilization over the following centuries. Centuries later, the modern Olympic Games included a half marathon event of 21.1 km, which was later adjusted to the now-standard marathon distance of 42.2 km.

Lucknow, India has experienced rapid population growth, increasing from 2.7 million in the 1980s to over 7 million currently. This has overwhelmed the city's infrastructure as streets have become choked with traffic and sewage pipes overflow. While the national government has launched projects to invest $10 billion to upgrade urban infrastructure across 60 cities, this falls far short of the estimated $52 billion needed. For Lucknow specifically, the $150 million allocated will help with wastewater treatment but over $960 million is required to fully address the city's road, water and other infrastructure needs. Rapid urbanization in India is placing tremendous pressure on cities and their aging infrastructure.

Ancient Egypt was a powerful civilization that thrived along the Nile River for over 30 centuries, from around 3100 BC to 332 BC. It achieved great successes in many fields like art, architecture, engineering and medicine due to its ability to adapt to the fertile conditions along the Nile valley. The Egyptians had a highly organized society with the pharaoh, or king, at the top of the social hierarchy and overseeing all aspects of government, military and religion.
Western Culture In Egypt
The document discusses differences between ancient Egypt and modern Egypt. It notes that around 5000 years ago, Egypt consisted of two kingdoms along the Nile River, which were later unified by King Menes. Western historians later divided Egyptian records into 33 dynasties over 3 periods for simplification, whereas Egyptians saw their land as eternally unified under the pharaoh. The concept of harmony was also important to ancient Egyptians.

Greek civilization began as early as the Stone Age and flourished through the Bronze Age, with major advances making Greece a pioneer in Europe. Notable early civilizations included the Cycladic and Minoan cultures. Classical Greece saw the rise of powerful city-states like Athens and Sparta, who defeated the Persians and developed new cultural and political achievements. The Hellenistic period began with the conquests of Alexander the Great, spreading Greek culture widely and establishing new centers of learning and art. Ultimately, the Roman Empire absorbed the Greek-influenced world.

For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to.docx
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.
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.)
Encompassed at least 2,000 years of gradual development of the Egyptian civilization. This took place in the late Stone Age/Neolithic period.

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).
Mesopotamia also believe in this religion

Around 3400 B.C., two separate kingdoms were established: 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.
King Menes would subdue the north and unify the country, becoming the first king of the first dynasty.
ARCHAIC (EARLY DYNASTIC) PERIOD (C. 3100-2686 B.C.)
The Archaic Period saw the development of the foundations of Egyptian society, including the all-important ideology of kingship. To the ancient Egyptians, the king was a godlike being, closely identified with the all-powerful god Horus. The earliest known hieroglyphic writing also dates to this period.
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.
OLD KINGDOM: AGE OF THE PYRAMID BUILDERS (C. 2686-2181 B.C.)
The Old Kingdom began with the third dynasty of pharaohs. Around 2630 B.C., the third dynasty’s King Djoser asked Imhotep, an architect, priest and healer, to design a funerary monument for him; the result was the world’s first major stone building, the Step-Pyramid at Saqqara, near Memphis.
Pyramid-building reached its zenith with the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Built for Khufu, who ruled from 2589 to 2566 B.C. Two other pyramids were built at Giza for Khufu’s successors K.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
