    Life in Ancient Egypt was supported by the fertile land along the Nile River, which provided food that was homegrown, received as rations, hunted, fished or bartered. Water came from wells, the Nile, or irrigation canals. The Egyptian civilization lasted for almost 30 centuries from its unification around 3100 BC until its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, during which time it was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world. The Egyptians invented simple machines, rope constructions, paper from papyrus, and pottery that they mass produced and exported widely.

    Egyptian Civilization

    Life in Ancient Egypt

    Egypt was a very fertile land, and under normal circumstances no one went hungry. Food could be
    homegrown, earned in the form of rations (there was no money), hunted, fished or bartered at market.
    Water could be obtained from wells, the Nile, or irrigation canals built by the Egyptians.

    How old is the Egyptian Civilization

    For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in
    332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world.

    Technologies

    The Egyptians invented and used many simple machines, such as the ramp and the lever, to aid
    construction processes. They used rope trusses to stiffen the beam of ships. Egyptian paper, made from
    papyrus, and pottery were mass-produced and exported throughout the Mediterranean Basin.
