Egypt's history stretches back to the 4th millennium BCE, when it emerged as one of the world's earliest and most influential civilizations, known for its monumental achievements in writing, agriculture, architecture, and governance. Over the millennia, Egypt was ruled by various dynasties and empires, including the Pharaonic, Persian, Greek, and Roman, before becoming part of the Byzantine Empire and later the Mamluk Sultanate, which governed from the 13th century until the Ottoman conquest in 1517. | Egypt's history stretches back to the 4th millennium BCE, when it emerged as one of the world's earliest and most influential civilizations, known for its monumental achievements in writing, agriculture, architecture, and governance.
