Ancient Egypt
The Egyptians created a vast empire beginning circa 3150 BCE, and achieved many technological advances in mathematics, medicine, art and architecture. The Egyptians used obsidian blades to perform delicate surgeries. The ancient Egyptians were particularly noted for their method of mummifying their dead, and for the elaborate tombs created for their rulers. Many of these tombs were discovered in what became known as the Valley of the Kings. The mysterious pyramids of Egypt were still objects of great interested to scientists of the 23rd century.

The Kingdom of Egypt was ruled by a monarch called Pharaoh. Ramses the Second was one notable pharaoh who ruled for nearly six decades.
