Ancient Egypt was a civilization that developed along the Nile River in northeast Africa around 3400 years ago. It consisted of two kingdoms, upper and lower Egypt, which were referred to as the "black earth." The Ancient Egyptians believed in many gods and that the Pharaoh was chosen by the gods. They would honor the gods through prayers and rituals conducted in temples that housed statues of the gods. Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted from around 3100 BC to 330 BC over a series of 30 dynasties, giving rise to the field of Egyptology.
