It spanned more than 3,000 years: beginning around 3150 BCE and falling in 30 BCE during the Roman Conquest of Egypt. Ancient Egypt emerged from Prehistoric Egypt after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, which took place under the pharaoh Menes around 3000 BCE. During its New Kingdom, Ancient Egypt extended its rule to Nubia and much of the Levant. Over its rule, it was invaded or conquered by several civilizations, such as the Hyksos, Kushites, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans. Ancient Egyptians are credited with inventions such as the obelisk, Egyptian faience, pyramids, some types of medicine, and the world’s earliest peace treaty: which took place between the Egyptians and the Hittites in 1259 BCE.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"2\"\u003eThis map is hand-drawn on watercolour paper that has been stained using coffee grounds.

The first known use of the ankh was during the First Dynasty of Egypt, around 30th or 29th century BCE. Ancient Egyptian religions asserted that life was a force which circulated throughout the world, and that individual living things were tied to this force. By extension of its representation of life, the ankh also symbolized water and air.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll orders are processed and shipped within two business days.
