Egypt had three eras, all ended by strife and war. Alexander the Great conquered it around the 300's BC. The last Pharaoh of the last dynasty was Cleopatra. She fell in love with a Roman and they rebelled against the Empire. Egypt lost the conflict and was subjected to Roman rule for about 500 years and fell under Arab control shortly after.

Nothing lasts forever. Basically though, they were conquered by Alexander the Great and the Pharaohs thereafter were of Greek descent - the Ptolemies who included Cleopatra. Then they were conquered by the Romans and became part of the Roman Empire. When the western Empire fell Egypt was, for a time, part of the Eastern Empire, but fell eventually to the Muslim expansions of the late 1st millennium. The Egyptians did, however, last for a very long time

As Far as I know the Ancient Egyptians were robed, raped, and destroyed by the Europeans. Everything that we know in this life that we live has a basis which originated in Egypt. After the Europeans stole their knowledge the destroyed it, hence the ruins, they then demonized them. While i am confident in what it is that i am telling you it would behoove you my sista to do your own research. God Bless
