Archaic Egypt culture and civilization five thousand years ago

Archaeological excavations at Sakkara, the mecropolis of anicent Memphis, have uncovered important new evidence about Egyptian civilization in the first two dynasties 3200-2780 B.C. The origins of the Egypt of the Pharaohs still remain obscure, but the new material discovered shows that the people of the Nile Valley at that remote period enjoyed a far higher degree of culture than has hitherto been recognized.
