Ancient Egypt
The Egyptians had an impact on other cultures that were undeniably immense. From the very beginning of the periods of Pre-dynastic Egypt, there is evidence of trade connections that extended as far east as the Indus Valley. These trade routes passed through the Near East, resulting in an early exchange of motifs and ideas between the civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. The New Kingdom had brought many more active relations with Western Asia, including robust commercial and serious relationships as well as a mutual exchange of symbolism and concepts with cultures like the Assyrians and the Hittites. Lively interactions with the south contributed to dynamic cultures, such as the Kushites, who ruled Egypt during the 25th Century.
The Ancient Egyptians religious beliefs were very different than that of our own. There had been Polytheistic, meaning that believed in their religion that there were many gods and not one supreme god. The Egyptians had different gods for everything like the sun, war, embalming and they had a belief that the pharaohs were gods as well. The entire civilization believed in the same thing, most similar to America which were having many types of religions spread through the states. Also, their priests and higher religious idols were favored by the gods more than the average person.
It was not possible without the Egyptians, we would have not been the people we are today. The knowledge which that has been provided from Ancient Egyptian times has shaped our modern-day world inside and out.
Today, Egyptian imagery, concepts, and perspectives are found everywhere; when you know what to look for, you will see them in architectural forms, on money, and in our day-to-day lives. Many cosmetic surgeons, for example, use the silhouette of Queen Nefertiti (whose name means “the beautiful one has come”) in their advertisements.
Longevity
The Ancient Egyptian civilization had lasting for more than 3,000 years and showed a stunning level of continuous process. That is more than 15 times the age of the United States, and consider how often our culture shifts; as recently as 2003, there was no Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube.
