Civilisations- Egypt [4/6]

For 3,000 years, from the construction of the first pyramid until the death of Cleopatra, Egypt was a land of prosperity; largely thanks to the River Nile. What is the story of the development of this impressive civilisation and its relationship with its principal source of life? How did the river valley evolve during Antiquity? Why did the Egyptians never fight against nature, preferring to draw their own life-force from its natural power? And what remains today of the riches and wealth that nature has offered to Egypt? Shaped and fashioned by the hand of man in his pursuit of modernity, against all odds, the Nile has finally been tamed.

This popular series gives new insights into some of the most influential civilisations to shape the world as we know it. To understand where we are now, it might help to understand where we have been.

Among us, there are humble and good humans with wisdom and knowledge, they should be our leaders, not the actual parasites who is nothing else but deceiving the society and engaged in looting and exploiting the planet.

What we need is good people, not too many laws and regulations!

So, it looks like the Exodus story from the Bible is a myth?

@TheSmallfire66 yes they was very sophisticated people. but they had workers from across the middle east. jews have always been by the side of majestic persons because they was smart people in all ways. most likely the egyptians was strong and enjoyed to do a job like modern north africans like to build and carry things for no money just to help eachother.

This is total proof that the Egyptians who built the pyramids were indeed NOT slaves but FREE people.
