The earliest known city in Ancient Egypt dates back to 5,000 years ago. The constructing of cities began in 3,100 B.C. Two Dynasties were uncovered and the knowledge know of these dynasties were that they were ruled for 400 years. The third dynasty found is said to have began in 2686 B.C. The picture on the left show what a village in Ancient Egypt would have looked like. Most homes would have been made up of dried up dirt or sandstone. These cities had sections as in the pharaoh, nobles and priests would have lived in the palace, then specialized workers would have lived closes to the palace, farthest away would have been slaves or unskilled workers, and between the skilled and unskilled workers farmers and herders would have lived there.
These Advanced cities in Ancient Egypt were ruled by king, but in Egypt they are called Pharaohs. These Pharaohs controlled slaves to build large monuments and pyramids. One of the most known of the monuments is the Sphinx, in an image down below. The sphinx is supposed to represent a cat. A cat was said to be one of the sacred animals they worshiped. There are eight known pyramids in Egypt. These are called the Pyramids of Giza. In the Pyramids of Giza it is said that nobles and pharaohs lay priceless treasurers, and most of these tresures are still to be uncovered.
