The Pharaonic Period dates from the 32nd century BC  when Upper and Lower Egypt were unified  until it fell to Macedonian rule in 332 BC. In 305 BC  Ptolemy  one of Alexander the Great's generals  took the title of Pharaoh  and as Ptolemy I Soter (\"Saviour\") founded the Ptolemaic dynasty that ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years. \u003ch2\u003eAlso in this Book\u003c\/h2\u003e The history of Egypt is long and rich  and is described in numerous texts. Among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World  the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only one that still stands. Ancient Egyptian civilization began from around 3150 BC under the first pharaoh of the First Dynasty  Narmer. Egyptian rule lasted until the conquest by the Achaemenid Empire in the sixth century BC. In 332 BC  Alexander the Great conquered Egypt  toppling the Achaemenids and establishing the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdom. Roman rule in Egypt (including Byzantine) lasted from 30 BC to 641 AD. After the Muslim conquest  parts of Egypt became provinces of successive Caliphates and other Muslim dynasties. Egypt remained under Ottoman rule until 1867  except for the brief French occupation (1798 to 1801). Egypt fell under British control in 1882 following the Anglo-Egyptian War. The British occupation lasted until the Anglo-Egyptian agreement of 1954. \u003ch2\u003eAnd in this Book\u003c\/h2\u003e Egypt as a country has a verylong history  and is considered one of the cradles of civilisation. Famous for the pyramids at Giza and other ruins throughout the country  Egypt is a country popular with scientists and tourists. The Nile river  the longest river in the world  runs through the country. Most of Egypt is covered in desert  with large sand dunes  but with fertile regions close to the Nile and throughout the Nile river delta.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52437649260824,"sku":"9781639239597","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52437649293592,"sku":"9781639239696","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/71NXWCmc2aL._SL1360.jpg?v=1784924001","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/the-egyptian-pantheon-an-explanatory-catalogue-of-egyptian-antiquities-potter","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
