Egypt, officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a Middle Eastern country in North Africa. While the country is geographically situated in Africa, the Sinai Peninsula, east of the Suez Canal, is a land bridge to Asia.
Covering an area of about 1,001,450 square kilometres (386,560 square miles), Egypt borders Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and Israel and the Gaza Strip to the northeast; on the north and the east are the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, respectively.
Egypt is the sixteenth most populous country in the world. The vast majority of its 78.8 million population (2006) live near the banks of the Nile River (about 40,000 km² or 15,450 sq. miles), where the only arable agricultural land is found. Large areas of land are part of the Sahara Desert and are sparsely inhabited. About half of the Egyptian people today are urban, living in the densely populated centres of greater Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the Middle East, and Alexandria.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most ancient and important monuments, including the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza; the southern city of Luxor contains a particularly large number of ancient artifacts such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Today, Egypt is widely regarded as the main political and cultural centre of the Arab and Middle Eastern regions.

Egyptology is dedicated to examining the art, archaeology, religion and history of Egypt.

My sister visited Egype and brought me several things back. I know that the Egyptians were very intelligent people and discovered lot of things that they were not at that time, capable of learning. They struggled with the one God concept, but very political issue. They believed in life after death. You see, all people want to believe in this, it is just something that is with us. I believe in God, Christ, but I also know that other religions have their own God, and I respect that. I feel like I have lived in Egypt before, maybe in another life.

Not much, I have to say. There's lots of books and t.v. shows about Egyptology though.

History, Discovery channels.... I like their belief that you have the good & evil to be whole. Kinda like I was forever good to my son but I was really pleasantly surprised when he stands up for himself and won't take any nonsense from others. Very generous but sometimes gruff. We loveingly call him an Ogre as we like that he is human. Silly but That's what I liked about Egyptians... no fake good too shoes. I love their art too.
