Egypt

Leader: Ramesses II
Special Ability: Monument Builders
Special Unit: War Chariot
Special Building: Burial Tomb

Few civilizations have left such an indelible mark on history as that of Egypt. Living astride the mighty Nile River for some 5,000 years, Egypt is one of the oldest surviving civilizations on the planet. Among many other firsts, Egypt is credited with the invention of writing around 3000 BC. Using sophisticated mathematics, Egyptian scholars plotted the movement of the planets with great precision. And of course, the Egyptians were the ancient world's greatest architects, creating monuments and temples that still awe and inspire us today.

Contrary to popular myth, it is not known how the Sphinx lost its nose. There are sketches of the Sphinx without a nose in 1737, over 60 years before Napoleon reached Egypt. The only known person to have damaged it was an Islamic cleric, Sa'im al-dahr, who was lynched in 1378 for his vandalism.

  • he should speak goa'uld, because the language of the goa'uld is ancient egyptian.

  • Haha what a dick. "My greetings. I am the God Ramses. I am the living embodiment of Egypt, the Father and Mother of all civilizations."

  • @aznien9

    GGF, obviously someone has had a longer period than usual.

    Actually, I was about a list of words that the Sumerian's and Egyptians shared in their individual languages, but obviously you had a bit much of the sauce and ended up arsesore after spending the night with a guy named Sally.

  • @TheHKY09 Who the hell here was even discussing the Minoans or Mycenaean? When did ancient greece come up dumbass? Oh i suppose next your going to bring up another irrelevant subject, like why Greco-Buddhist sculpture was found in Afghanistan, or why does the sun shine so damn bright!? Stay on subject!!

  • @TheHKY09 Shut your mouth fag! Your the one who needs to get educated as i just schooled your ass in history! You have the nerve to talk. Get the sand out of your vagina douche! Your the one who was saying shit that didnt make any sense what so ever.What do you mean no one can be sure? The evidence is there in egypt and anthropological studies show it dipshit! GTF!!

  • @aznien9

    Pfft.

    There isn't much in Ancient History that we know for sure, so most of what we know is 100% guess.

    An example would be the Minoan society,

    Another example would be the Hittites history.

    After a while of guess work, you'll come to your own conclusions on said things,

    and drawing to the conclusion that the Sumerian's and Egyptian's shared words makes alot of sense, due to proximity.

    Did I say that the Egyptians came from Sumeria?

    Go get fucked, and while at it, learn to read.

  • @GrandeSalvatore96 My point being that historically the egyptians were africans to begin with, and there society changed over time into mixed cosmopolitan society. Same with Cartheginians and Phoenicians which is the same civilization. So merry christmas to you faggot! Learn some damn history before opening your mouth and sounding obviously ignorant. Your not a damn phoenician idiot no one is really, unless you have some autosomal dna blood work to verify your claim! ROFL!! XD

  • @GrandeSalvatore96 First off if you were a Phoenician your basically saying your a north african. Second its "Blonde" not blond dumbass! Lol you forget there has been invasion in north africa over several different historical periods greece, rome, arabia muslims, and persian, most north african inhabitants are berber and arabs and are partial mixed africans so you dont really make a point not having good ethnic knowledge of the geographical location! Phoenicians are closely related to egyptians.

  • @GrandeSalvatore96 Woow!! your an idiot haha!! Did you just say you were a phoenician?? You do realize that in this day in age theres no such thing as a Phoenician dumbass. Carthage and Phoenicia ended along time ago lol. I suppose if that were the case Syrians are still Hittites in some aspect lol, and Iranians are Persians, even though neither empire still exist. Were you born dumb or raised dumb? ROFL!! Thats the funniest shit ive hard in awhile. Im indian so i guess that makes me indus lol!

  • @aznien9 Okay, I'm Phoenician asshole, alright, I know a lot of other Phoenicians that are blond and blue eyed but darker skinned. I'm going to go with the proof I see, not what someone tells me on youtube. I wasn't asking for your opinion I'm sharing my view not trying to push my beliefs onto you. Merry Christmas.
