THE NEIGHBORS OF EGYPT

 

From the same distant past Egyptian culture, despite it's relative isolation developed in closest connections with it's neighbors. On the caravan routes or under ship's sails traveled humans, goods and ideas. Pharaonic armies many times conquered the nearby countries, but sometimes are defeated and conquered by them too. Happened and that, the conquerors to be  proclaimed as liberators. Finally in each event or process of interaction the vorldwiew scope of the native habitants of Pharaonic land become more and more vide and complex.

The most important of these connections are these with Nubians in the South, with Asiatics in Levant and with Greeks and other maritime peoples trough the Mediterranean Sea. The ties with Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Punt, Persia, far away India and ancient Hebrews in concrete historical periods don't must be ignored too.
