Egyption Cultural Heritage Organisation

Egypt is predominantly perceived of as the Land of the Pharaohs. However, while of immense significance, the Pharaonic era is only one component of Egypt’s rich and diverse history. This history is the affirmation of our common human legacy, documenting many of humanity’s major developments and achievements. Egypt’s archaeological record chronicles the development of human societies, providing evidence of hunter-gatherers, pastoralists and agriculturists and documenting the emergence of complex societies and the first nation-state. Egypt also bears witness to the histories of civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans, and also the expansion of ideologies such as the Christian and Islamic.
