| The land of the Nile, "Mizraim" in Hebrew, was one of the Oldest cradles of civilization dating back to around 3400 B.C. It is commonly held that Egyptian history can be divided into 30 dynasties. The Egypt of the patriarchs was the Middle Kingdom or 11th to 12th dynasties (around 2000 B.C), which was regarded as one of the high points of Egyptian culture. |
