A peek into Egypt

 The landscape in Egypt is about 1,001,450 square kilometers that’s 386,660 sq mi. Egypt is the 30 th - largest country in the world. Its latitude is from 22 degrees and 32 degrees north and longitudes 24 degrees and 36 degrees east. About 99% of the population uses only about 5.5% of the total land area. apart from the Nile valley, the majority of Egypt’s landscape is desert. Winds create prolific sand dunes that peak at more than more than 100feet( 30 m)high.

 A unified kingdom was founded c BC by king Menes, leading to a series of dynasties that ruled Egypt for the next three millennia. Egyptian culture flourished during this long time and remained distinctively Egyptian in its religion, arts, language and customs.

 Animals were reared mainly for food, whilst others were kept as pets. Animals of all kinds were important to the Ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians understood the animals' characteristics and admired them, especially those that were dangerous or had powers human beings lacked. They believed animals were symbols, for example, the beetle - the Egyptians noticed how it buries itself and therefore used it as a symbol of survival. Particular powers of each Egyptian god were symbolised by animals with similar characteristics

As a result of their conditional independence from great Britain in 1922 the Egyptian royal family issued a royal decree establishing a national flag. This first flag was a major step for Egypt, and its colors were green with a white crescent and three stars in the middle. The next version of the flag was established in 1958 by presidential decree, to incorporate aspects of Syria and Egypt, since they were merged into one country,the united Arb republic. This new flag had three colors: red, white with two green stars, and black. The rectangular flag had a width of 1/3 the szie of its length.

 The flag was changed once again in 1972, with an amendment to the law. This new flag had the stars removed, and replaced with a golden hawk. The hawk was replaced in 1984 by the golden eagle of Salah El Dine, the Ayubbid Sultan of the Crusades who ruled Egypt and Syria in the 12th century. This flag still waves over Egypt today
