Hello
A country in northern Africa and the Sinai Peninsula, the Mediterranean Sea. In ancient times, was a flourishing kingdom and one of the oldest known civilizations, known for its development of hieroglyphic writing and its achievements in agriculture, art and architecture. It reached its height during the XVIII dynasty (1570-1342? AC) and declined after the seventh century BC, leading to various invaders, including the Assyrians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turkey, France and Britain. Although nominally independent after 1922, remains a British protectorate until 1936.
