History and Antiquities
For many, the scope of Egypt's history is difficult to comprehend.
Its history spans some five millenniums, and encompasses the

establishment of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions,
the colonial era when first France and then the English ruled
the country, and finally, a return to independence.
